There is simply no doubt that the Court’s fast-tracking of the disqualification case way back in February combined with the slow-walking of the immunity case and its eventual holding (the last case of the term) had the purpose and effect of making sure Donald Trump would be on the ballot in November and that the pending criminal case against him brought by Jack Smith would not be concluded by the election but, even if it were, the case would be much, much harder to win. Those events demonstrably help the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump.
