Special counsel asks Supreme Court to decide whether Trump has immunity

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : "It is of imperative public importance that respondent's claims of immunity be resolved by this Court and that respondent's trial proceed as promptly as possible if his claim of immunity is rejected," Smith's team wrote.
43% : But that doesn't put a former president beyond the long arm of U.S. criminal law, the government said.
36% : They're asking the Supreme Court to consider a fundamental question at the "heart" of American democracy: whether a former president is completely immune from federal prosecution for crimes he commits in office, or whether he deserves constitutional protection if he has been impeached but not convicted before criminal proceedings commence.
