"Chief Justice John Roberts: Navigating Trump's Challenges and Colorado's Arguments"

Chief Justice John Roberts appears skeptical of Colorado's argument in a case involving a man who was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon while intoxicated. The case raises questions about whether the state's law violates the Second Amendment. During oral arguments, Roberts expressed doubt about the state's position, suggesting that it may not align with the court's previous rulings on gun rights. This signals potential trouble for Colorado's legal argument as the Supreme Court considers its judicial decision.

"Assessing Trump's Immunity Arguments: Legal Experts Weigh In"

During a federal appeals-court hearing, former President Donald Trump's lawyer argued that a president could not be prosecuted for actions taken in office, including ordering the assassination of a political rival, as long as Congress approved. A law professor criticized the argument as misunderstanding the Constitution and likely deserving a C or D grade. The appeals-court judges also expressed skepticism, with one judge offering hypothetical situations to challenge the argument. The professor pointed out that the Constitution did not support the lawyer's claims and suggested that the main goal of the argument may be to delay the trial.
