This is a big deal, and not in a good way. Says a lot about what a precarious moment the nation is experiencing right now. Institutions like the media should be doing just the opposite in this moment.

Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts in New York is a weighty moment for the rule of law. Holding a frmer POTUS accountable for crimes when warranted by the evidence is not a threat to democracy – failing to try would undermine the principle that no one is above the law.

Will the Supreme Court continue to ignore (or worse) the magnitude of Jan 6th? Key takeaways from oral argument on presidential immunity yesterday.

As former Pres Trump faces several criminal trials, we issued a guide that analyzes precedent, law and policy to answer a critical question: In a democracy, when is it appropriate to prosecute a political leader in close proximity to an election? https://t.co/GVRk3YompZ

[Kristy Parker @KPNatsFan]

My colleague @GCNadeau explain why the law demands speedy trials of Trump, why voters have a right to know whether he committed election crimes before they vote, and why none of this is inconsistent with DOJ policy. /2 https://t.co/m3HQc9Xx8g

[Kristy Parker @KPNatsFan]

Anyone arguing that trying Trump in the Fall would violate DOJ policy is mistaken. And the law favors a speedy trial. /1

This isn't a "you may be disappointed in the outcome but the Court was just following the law" moment. Denying the original request to skip the Appeals Court was discretionary. Granting cert now is discretionary. The schedule of the argument is discretionary.

Delay is a choice.

[Paul Rosenzweig (@[email protected]) @RosenzweigP]

If SCOTUS was going to take up the case it should have taken it up BEFORE the DC Circuit. It should also have set argument for lots less than 2 months from now. It seems to me clear that a conservative majority is running out the clock for Trump -- /1

Trump hopes to delay his federal trial on charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election until after the 2024 election – the Supreme Court shouldn’t help him. 🔗 https://t.co/SJeKRpdySx

Former POTUS Trump’s efforts to delay his trial on federal criminal charges for attempting to overturn the last election is working. @KPNatsFan & @GCNadeau explain why the Special Counsel is right to oppose this strategy, just published in @lawfare (1/5) https://t.co/i1OQBAfybp

[Lawfare @lawfare]

Genevieve Nadeau and @KPNatsFan from @protctdemocracy argue that a speedy resolution of Trump's Jan. 6 trial is in the public interest in response to @jacklgoldsmith's article warning against Jack Smith's rush to trial. https://t.co/ORB6PFVykJ

[Genevieve Nadeau @GCNadeau]

Importantly, DOJ is not rushing Trump to trial. The trial date is not at issue in the appeal at all. What is at issue is a meritless immunity defense that Trump is using to run out the clock and avoid having to go to trial at all.

[Protect Democracy @protctdemocracy]

Trump wants to delay his trial with a hail mary claim of absolute immunity from the law. He’s asked the Supreme Court to help him, but they should follow the law on speedy trials. To track his delay strategy, we built the Trump Trial Delay tracker: https://t.co/SJeKRpdySx
