To the editor: Former President Trump and his allies thought mounting a presidential immunity defense was a intelligent option to delay his federal trial till a brand new administration might shut the prosecution down.
Not a lot. By asking for the Supreme Court docket to weigh in quickly, Justice Division particular counsel Jack Smith has brilliantly turned this protection into Republicans’ worst nightmare.
Both the Supreme Court docket disagrees with the previous president and Trump faces trial earlier than the election, or the justices agree and make President Biden America’s first king.

To the editor: If the Supreme Court docket agrees with Trump’s declare of absolute presidential immunity, it is going to current our present president with an array of options to our nation’s Trump drawback.

To the editor: I am really frightened of Trump being nominated for president in 2024. How can his supporters not see this as a looming dictatorship?
Whether or not Trump is operating solely as a result of he needs to keep away from jail or as a result of he really needs to grow to be president once more is one factor; it is one other factor to have thousands and thousands of individuals and each Republican within the Home and Senate behind him.
Are these elected officers simply wishing for positions in his authorities? Don’t they take their oath of workplace critically?
This nation has actually failed us if Trump turns into president once more. We will not let this occur, so please, folks, get out and vote blue.

To the editor: I predict that the Supreme Court docket is wise sufficient to reject Trump‘s attraction of immunity, and it’ll accomplish that shortly.
Actually these justices notice that if Trump is reelected, the Supreme Court docket will grow to be irrelevant. He has already promised a dictatorship.
