March 1, 2024: Trump vs. the courtroom clock

Donald Trump’s week has been a mixed bag.

There was a victory of sorts as the Supreme Court agreed to hear his argument that he is immune from charges related to allegedly subverting the 2020 election — effectively granting him a bit of a delay in the trial.
