The Supreme Court seemed poised on Thursday to narrow the federal Jan. 6 case against Donald Trump. A ruling on whether he is immune from prosecution would probably send the case back to a lower court and could delay a trial until after the 2024 election.
Supreme Court Live Updates: Conservative Majority Seems Ready to Limit Election Case Against Trump
Such a ruling in the case, on whether the former president is immune from prosecution, would probably send it back to a lower court and could delay any trial until after the November election.

beyond straightforward partisanship the basic logic of the republican justices seems to be that trump is an ordinary president experiencing an extraordinary prosecution and not that trump is being prosecuted because he engaged in extraordinary actions!
Alito tries to turn things on their head, by saying that to encourage peaceful transitions of power, you need to give incumbents absolute immunity so they will leave and won't worry about prosecution later. This is the most insane thing I've heard today (and there have been many crazy things).

This was gut wrenching too:
“Anita Hill tried to warn us…save America from itself…tell us that Thomas was…not an upstanding man of good moral character…but America doesn’t care about Black women.”

“For 40 years Clarence Thomas has been an albatross for Black people…(Rather than) making the road easier…he resented them for not having to work as hard as he did…Instead of breaking down walls of racism…he ensured that hurdle stayed on the track.”

Faculty walkout at Columbia. I think it's safe to say President Shafiq & other leaders have lost their confidence.
