The US Supreme Court’s decision to take up Donald Trump’s claim that, as president, any actions he might take, from undermining elections to potentially killing a political rival, are protected acts subject to presidential immunity, demonstrate that the court no longer is interested in upholding the US Constitution. What little respect the court maintained has now been squandered. Instead of accepting the lower-court decision that a former president who committed serious crimes is not immune from prosecution, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up the matter on a slow timeline that all but guarantees that, even if Trump goes to trial on the criminal charges, it will not be until just before the end of the campaign season. Some voters may be casting ballots before a verdict is reached.
