Summary
Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block his sentencing in New York’s hush money case, scheduled for Friday.
Trump’s legal team argues presidential immunity, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling shielding certain official acts from prosecution, though it excludes personal actions.
Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts for falsifying records tied to hush money payments during the 2016 election.
A New York judge ruled that immunity does not apply until Trump is sworn in.
Prosecutors must respond by Thursday morning.
It would be both funny and painful if the SC decreed he was fully immune even while not president.
The SC will probably amend it to say president elects or prior presidents enjoy lifetime immunity. Hell they will probably go as far to say direct relatives will enjoy immunity
