Justice Barrett just got Sauer to concede that there are private acts alleged in the indictment—so that the trial could go forward at least in part.
@steve_vladeck @gtconway3d Also, Trump did these acts outside of his presidential duties…because running campaigns is NOT among his presidential duties! Especially when he’s the candidate. I’m so upset that SCOTUS agreed to hear this case in the first place.
@MelissaJPeltier @steve_vladeck @gtconway3d This Court seems quite willing to look past facts and simply imagine what ruling they want.
@MelissaJPeltier @steve_vladeck @gtconway3d that is what they mean by "private acts"
@MelissaJPeltier @steve_vladeck @gtconway3d I’m also upset that they agreed to hear this case. I’m sure it had to do with Alito et al and their perceived loyalty/gratitude/whatever to 🍊🤡
@MelissaJPeltier @steve_vladeck @gtconway3d Its a MAGA SCOTUS.
