Deep dives
Supreme Court Ruling on Presidential Immunity
The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity was considered a victory for Donald Trump, providing him with certain immunity from criminal prosecution based on the nature of his actions: official presidential duties have absolute criminal immunity, actions similar to those of high-ranking officials have a presumption of immunity, while unofficial/private acts do not. This decision not only impacts Trump's current legal cases but also sets a precedent for future presidents' legal protections.
Determining Official vs. Personal Actions in Trump's Case
The Supreme Court sent Trump's case back to the lower court to identify which actions were part of his official presidential duties. Judge Chutkin overseeing the case faces the task of distinguishing between Trump's actions as President Trump versus Candidate Trump, particularly analyzing his interactions before January 6th. The timing of the trial is now highly unlikely before the election, significantly affecting special counsel Jack Smith's case.
Concerns Over Non-Citizen Voting
Republicans raise alarm over voter registration practices that could potentially allow non-citizens to register and vote by claiming U.S. citizenship without providing proof. Evidence of non-citizen voting in past elections has been presented, highlighting gaps in verifying voter eligibility. Lawmakers have introduced the SAVE Act to mandate states to verify U.S. citizenship before distributing voter registration forms, yet the bill lacks Democratic support.
