Don’t hold your breath waiting for the presidential immunity decision. If you’re wondering whether the MAGA majority on the Court will let Trump off the hook, they already have.
By doing so, they have already interfered in the 2024 elections.

They’ve forced a historic crisis—an irreconcilable showdown between the normal operation of the criminal justice system (which should find Trump in pretrial and trial proceedings for his January 6th crimes over the next five months) and the normal functioning of presidential elections.
Imagine you were told that in another country, a president who had been defeated in a free and fair election attempted a coup, for which he was indicted—but four years later, the very judges he had appointed have helped protect him from standing trial so he could return to office.
Since Bush v. Gore, the GOP-appointed justices have consistently acted to benefit Republicans electorally.
Here are some of the biggest acts of election interference we’ve seen from MAGA/FedSoc judges:
1. SCOTUS shielding Trump from pre-election accountability for January 6th and the criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. If the MAGA justices really thought this case was worth hearing, they would have said so when Jack Smith first asked them about it in December.
3. SCOTUS handing MAGA the House in 2022. Democrats would have held their majority, or Republicans would have won by at most one seat (218 to 217), if midterms had been conducted using 2020 maps or the maps federal courts ordered states to use before the Federalist Society justices overturned them.
