If Trump-installed Amy Coney Barrett starts to side with the less conservative Justices based on her stand on women's rights or even more youth-oriented concerns, the GOP may want to be careful what they wish for when choosing candidate qualifications for SCOTUS positions.
I take it, David, that you are hoping for the best but planning for the worst from the Supremes on convicted felon tRump's plea for immunity - *absolute* immunity, actually. My sense is they will split on so-called "official acts" vs "unofficial acts", and that it will be down to the trial judge's interpretation of which is which...all decisions subject to - yes, further appeal.
The decision, IMHO, will not negate the overall indictment of tRump, but create *some* distinctions between overt criminal acts as "candidate" tRump and those *protected* acts as "president" tRump, regardless of being deemed criminal in the indictment. It will be messy, and guarantees a messy trial, which after all is tRump's key objective, and one cannot gainsay that he and his lawyers hit their numbers.
Some good news for Rhode Islanders. Our Democrat Attorney General, Peter Neronha, assured us that RI ban on bump stocks will continue.

SCOTUS: See what the Prez & Congress made us do? Obviously, history shows us that to decide otherwise leads to chaos.

If SCOTUS grants immunity in
any form, Cannon will
attempt to dismiss the
documents case.
Canning is a great way to
preserve some vegetables
and fruits. They do have an
expiration date though and
200+ years is well beyond
that. But, just wow! 200+ yrs!
