Chief justice Roberts pushed for quick immunity ruling in Trump’s favor – report

John Roberts Jr used his position as the US supreme court’s chief justice to urge his colleagues to rule quickly
– and in favor
– of Donald Trump
ahead of the decision that granted him and other presidents immunity for official acts, according to a New York Times investigation published on Sunday.

The new report provides details about what was happening behind the scenes in the country’s highest court during the three recent supreme court decisions centering on
– and generally favoring
– the Republican former president.

Based on leaked memos, documentation of the proceedings, and interviews with court insiders, the Times report suggests that Roberts
– who was appointed to the supreme court during Republican George W Bush’s presidency
– took an unusually active role in the three cases in question. And he wrote the majority opinions on all three.

In addition to the presidential immunity ruling, the decisions collectively barred states from removing any official
– including Trump
– from a federal ballot as well as declaring the government had overstepped with respect to obstruction of justice charges filed against participants of the 6 January 2021 attack that the former president’s supporters aimed at Congress.

The Times reported that last February, Roberts sent a memo to his fellow supreme court justices regarding the criminal charges against Trump for attempting to overturn the result of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden.

In the #leaked #memo, the Times reported that he criticized a lower court decision that allowed the case to move forward
– and he argued to the other justices that Trump was protected by presidential immunity.

He reportedly said that the supreme court ought to hear the case and grant Trump greater protection from prosecution.

“I think it likely that we will view the separation of powers analysis differently,” the Times said that Roberts wrote to the other supreme court justices in the private memo.

According to the Times, some of the conservative justices wanted to delay the decision on the presidential immunity case until after Trump finished running for a second term in the White House in November.

But Roberts advocated for an early hearing and decision
– and ultimately wrote the majority opinion himself.

Before the opinion and ruling went public, the Times reported that Justice Brett #Kavanaugh had praised Roberts on the ruling,
calling it “extraordinary”.

Their fellow conservative justice Neil #Gorsuch
– who, like Kavanaugh, was appointed to the supreme court during Trump’s presidency
– called it “remarkable”.

The decision came out on 1 July and stated that former presidents are entitled to some degree of #immunity from criminal prosecution.

Both conservatives and liberals saw it as a huge win for Trump, who
– among a spate of legal problems
– is awaiting sentencing for a criminal conviction in May of falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments to an adult film actor who alleged an extramarital sexual encounter with him.

The supreme court then returned the case to district judge Tanya #Chutkan, who is overseeing the federal case against Trump for allegedly participating in 💥an illicit effort to reverse his defeat in the 2020 election.

That left her tasked with having to figure out how to apply the US supreme court’s decision.

The Times also reported that in the case about 💥whether individual states could kick Trump off the ballot
based on language in the US constitution which bars insurrections from holding office,
⚠️ Roberts told his colleagues that he wanted the decision to be #unanimous and #unsigned.

All nine justices initially agreed that Trump should remain on state ballots.

♦️But then, the Times reports, four conservative justices suggested additions to the ruling,
❌ including proposing that Congress would have to approve enforcement of the insurrectionist ban in the constitution.

In a #unanimous ruling, #SCOTUS sided w/the #Biden admin & the manufacturer of #mifepristone, & reversed a lower court decision that would have made it more difficult to obtain the drug used in >60% of #US #abortions. The ruling was not on the substance of the case, but on a procedural ruling the plaintiffs did not have #standing to bring the case.

“You had 12 #jurors come to a #unanimous conclusion, & the former president was #guilty of 34 #felonies, & that, that somehow is indication of weaponization when that was a #state prosecution that had nothing to do w/President #Biden or the Dept of #Justice,” Jeffries said. “The American people understand that we need more common sense & less chaos in Washington, DC.”

#POTUS underscored #Trump “was given every opportunity to defend himself” & the case “was heard by a jury of…12 people like you & millions of Americans who serve on juries…chosen the same way every jury in America” is chosen.

“The jury heard 5 weeks of evidence, 5 weeks, & after careful deliberation, the jury reached a #unanimous verdict. They found Donald Trump #guilty on all 34 #felony counts. Now, he’ll be given the opportunity, as he should, to #appeal that decision….”

All 12 jurors must agree to find #Trump #guilty in order to #convict him of any one of the #felonies w/which he has been charged: 34 counts of falsifying business records. The judge in the case, Juan M. #Merchan, repeatedly made this clear, saying in his instructions to the #jury: “Each count you consider, whether guilty or not guilty, must be #unanimous.”

If jurors were required to be #unanimous on which unlawful means (#crimes) #Trump employed, it may have been harder to reach a verdict.

Merchan explains the elements of the #felony falsification charge. He says the records at issue can pertain to a private business & can be electronic or other data.
