Trump Asks SCOTUS To Delay Trial And Consider His Presidential Immunity

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : This comes after the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a ruling against Trump last week, which said it would be implemented February 12 unless the former president filed an emergency application at the Supreme Court.
44% : They continued to claim that if his persecution is allowed, then "such prosecutions will recur and become increasingly common, ushering in destructive cycles of recrimination," the lawyers wrote.
43% : Additionally, if the justices on the high court decide to take up the case, the oral argument set by the Supreme Court could determine how soon the trial could begin, which of course they have to agree with the appeals court that Trump isn't immune.
36% : However, special counsel Jack Smith has continuously pushed for a trial to take place before the November presidential election, when President Joe Biden and Trump will likely face off against each other for the 2024 presidential election.
36% : Additionally, Trump is also charged in state court in Georgia with alleged attempts to subvert the state's 2020 election and in New York in connection to hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
