The Debate Storm Has Passed; the Skies Are Brightening.

Yesterday’s unsealing of new evidence in the Federal Trump election interference case was as bracing as the V-P debate the night before was depressing. Experts who have read Jack Smith’s brief say that it would be difficult for the Supreme Court to find that Trump’s criminal behavior in trying to overturn the 2020 election lies within the ruling of immunity as to the President’s official acts that the Supreme Court invented and made into Constitutional law a few months ago.

Six extreme right-wing Justices held their respective thumbs on the scales of justice to stall criminal proceedings against Trump during the Court’s term that ended mid-year. To exculpate Trump in respect of the crimes newly detailed in the indictment would require throwing the scales out the window, something even the execrable Roberts Court may not be ready to do. Publicity relating to this development should benefit Harris’s campaign.
