Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court belatedly announced that they will hear arguments on April 22 whether Trump can be prosecuted for his role in the January 6th Insurrection, thereby potentially delaying the trial until after the 2024 Election. In other words, Americans may be asked to vote before knowing if Trump will be convicted; worse yet, should Trump win the election, he could cancel the indictment.
Once again, Trump is not being treated like other Americans, many of whom are already serving long sentences for their role on January 6. This politicized Court, whatever it eventually decides, is facilitating Trump's delay tactics.
Perhaps it is appropriate that their decision was released on the same day that Senator Mitch McConnell emotionally announced that he will retire in November. It was McConnell who blocked President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, clearing the way for Trump to stack the Court with Conservative Justices.
Protect our Democracy. Vote Democratic!
