Opinion: The court's won't hold Trump accountable, so voters must

LA Times  

Polls consistently show that a significant number of voters would not vote for Donald Trump if he’s a convicted felon. That month Chutkan rejected Trump’s argument for what she called “a lifelong ‘get out of jail free’ pass” and when Trump appealed, Smith urged the Supreme Court to cut out the middleman — the D.C. appeals court — and quickly decide the historic matter. They aren’t expected to support Trump’s immunity claim but they could send the case back to the appeals court, further postponing a trial. A verdict on Trump’s attempt to hold onto power is now “much more unlikely” before the election, conservative former appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig told MSNBC. Dan Pfeiffer, the former Obama White House advisor, told readers of his newsletter on Thursday that Democrats “should make some chicken salad out of this chicken s—.” Call out the already unpopular Supreme Court, he argued, and hammer the argument that “Donald Trump is running for president for one reason and one reason only — to avoid accountability for crimes he committed.” We should stop looking at calendars and calculating on fingers when Trump can be convicted in a courtroom.
