"SCOTUS Gives Trump One Week to Respond to Immunity Ruling Appeal"

TL;DR Summary
Legal expert Peter Shane believes that Supreme Court justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh are unlikely to support former President Donald Trump's arguments for presidential immunity from prosecution. Shane also doubts how conservative-leaning Justice Clarence Thomas would vote on the matter. Trump's emergency petition to the Supreme Court seeks to drop his election interference case, but Shane argues that history and the law suggest Trump does not have presidential immunity. The trial has been put on hold while Trump appeals to higher courts, with the Washington D.C Court of Appeals ruling that Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution.
