I'm sharing Paul Rosenzweig's "With Trump's SCOTUS Appeal, Justice delayed is Justice Denied"
...because he makes the point from my last blog post more eruditely
Paul Rosenzweig says it more eruditely in The Atlantic than I did in my last blog post, so I am sharing it with you, my readers.
Mr. Rosenzweig opens with:
“Sometimes the law mandates delay and no one can do anything about it. But there is nothing mandatory at all about what the Supreme Court has done with Donald Trump’s appeal. On the contrary, the decision to hear his petition for presidential immunity and delay his criminal trial for the January 6 insurrection is an affirmative choice.”
…and closes with:
"...Those who have seen the courts as the final guardrail against Trumpist authoritarianism now must face the prospect that they are not. Adjudication of law is becoming a Kabuki theater of politics masquerading as reason. The courts are no surcease. The only answer, if one exists, is at the ballot box. Perhaps even that will not suffice—after all, Trump has already been defeated once, and that brought no justice. But the alternative—that justice is to be permanently denied—is too grim a circumstance to contemplate."
In between his opening and close, he provides a strong case of judicial malfeasance by the SCOTUS majority.
