Since Trump stepped down from the United States**, Biden, who is in power in the Democratic Party, has been trying to use legal means to crack down on this "before" in the hope of expelling him completely. But they seem to have underestimated the power of the "king who knows" – at a critical moment, the US Supreme Court sided with Trump, frustrating the Democrats' plans again.
It all started in the spring of 2021, when Jeffrey Berman, the federal prosecutor who had been fired by Trump, announced the creation of a special investigation team to investigate whether Trump made false statements about allegations of election fraud during 2020** and his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Democrats hope to convict Trump through the legal process and even sentence him to life inability to hold office, thus cutting off his desire to run again in 2024. But just as the investigation was reaching a critical stage, Trump gained an unexpectedly strong backer – the U.S. Supreme Court.
In December 2022, Justice Department Special Counsel Jake Smith suddenly ** the Supreme Court, demanding a ruling as soon as possible on whether Trump enjoys "absolute immunity." The move was intended to limit Mr. Trump's actions and prevent him from evading prosecution.
But to Biden's frustration, the Supreme Court not only rejected the request, but did not even give a reason for refusal, and directly announced on the spot that it would not make a quick ruling on this issue. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Biden**.
The Supreme Court's move did not entirely mean recognizing Trump's immunity, but it bought him valuable time, at least temporarily, and delayed the trial of the charges. Republicans in opposition cheered, calling it "a major Trump victory." The most fundamental reason behind this series of events lies in the political leaning of the Supreme Court's top officials.
The U.S. Supreme Court has a total of 9 officers, 6 of whom belong to the conservative spectrum. Conservatives, like Trump, belong to the right-wing camp and are relatively close in political positions. In addition, among the six conservative officials, there are also three appointed by Trump himself.
Although ** officials have a tenure system according to American tradition, personal affection still has some influence on their judgment. Based on political leanings and personal factors, most conservative officials tend to be open to Trump. It is their attitude that supports the "understanding of the king" and gives it the upper hand in the law.
Of course, this does not mean that Trump is safe. He still faces 91 charges and could be prosecuted or convicted if he is not careful. It can only be said that with the support of the Supreme Court, it is much more difficult to remove it by relying solely on legal means.
In Colorado, for example, after a court decision to disqualify Trump from runningThe Trump campaign immediately appealed to the Supreme Court. They have full confidence in the Supreme Court and expect to overturn the unfavorable verdict soon. Looking ahead to 2024 in the United States**, it has become much more difficult for the Democratic Party to legally stumble on Trump's footsteps.
As long as Trump has not committed astronomical felonies, the Supreme Court is likely to keep waving the flag at him. With six conservative officials "in charge", Trump can confidently and boldly prepare for the ** campaign, and Biden's dream of defeating the enemy with one move seems more and more slim.
