Maybe not.  The SC threw out just about everything Trump lawyers brought up to the on this issue besides a very specific point they will hear oral arguments on which is can a former president claim immunity for things he did as president in office compared to if a President in office can be prosecuted for things he is doing while serving in office.  They also are specific in while doing his duty which means if a president does not outside of his actually legal duty as president that is up for discussion as well.  Either way, this actually does need clarification.  All the other BS stuff Trump lawyers were trying to claim the SC are not going to hear arguments on.

Oh, I don't think they'll be crazy enough to actually rule in Trump's favor in the end, but taking up this ridiculous farce in the first place, let alone going out of their way to stretch out the process as long as possible when they had ample opportunity not to, really tips their hand as to what a partisan sham the court has been turned into.

I believe we are still good to get this put to trial before the election as long as this oral arguments part does not drag but we will see.  I will say my faith in this SC is not strong but lets see how far the GOP majority is willing to give Trump a pass.
