When DC Circuit court ruled, last summer, the piece of shit does NOT have blanket immunity [View all]

https://electioninnovation.org/update/unanimous-dc-circuit-court-strikes-down-trumps-blanket-immunity-argument/


was it subsequently overturned by the traitors on the SC?




A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has ruled that no president, including Donald Trump, has blanket immunity for any and all criminal acts they might commit while they are in office. If the decision stands, Trump will lose his most powerful defense in the pending trial for his attempts to remain in power after losing the presidential election in 2020.

It was a particularly decisive rebuke of the argument: a unanimous decision by three judges of what is considered to be the second highest US court, appointed by presidents from both major parties, all agreeing to deny the claim of blanket immunity. The decision stated that conferring such protections on the executive would collapse our system of separation of powers in the United States.

“We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results,” the judges wrote.
