The U.S. Supreme Court is currently deliberating a case involving former President Donald Trump's claim of 'absolute immunity' for actions taken while in office, as argued by James M. Burnham. This legal defense, if accepted, could potentially affect ongoing cases against Trump in multiple states including Georgia, New York, Florida, and the District of Columbia. The court's conservative majority, analyzed by Thor Hearne and criticized by E.J. Dionne Jr., has shown support for broad immunity for former presidents, sparking discussions on implications for presidential accountability and the justice system. A decision is expected early this summer, with critical views from figures like Jack Smith.

Opinion by E.J. Dionne Jr.: As members of the Supreme Court's 6-3 conservative majority ponder Donald Trump’s absolute immunity claim, they should understand how much they have already done to paint themselves as instruments of the Republican Party. https://t.co/qhtnY8sl8H
