"Trump's Delusion of Kingship: Colorado Supreme Court's Historic Ruling"

The Supreme Court is considering whether to take up the question of presidential immunity, which would have profound consequences for both the 2024 election and the broader issue of presidential power. The court should rule on this question on an accelerated timetable to determine whether a president is entitled to broad protections from legal consequences for actions taken while in office. If the court delays, it could prevent a trial before the election and allow Trump to call off the prosecution if he wins. The court's decision will not only impact accountability for Jan. 6 but also how future presidents are treated. Trump's argument for absolute immunity is unfounded, and if the court endorses it or delays the decision, it will reveal a willingness to act in favor of the leading Republican contender and undermine its own credibility.
