Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University, said Friday it’s clear that the Supreme Court, which has operated with a comfortable conservative majority since Trump’s presidency, is...

The coming SCOTUS decision on Presidential immunity is “truly unprecedented,” says Elie Honig. But “I do not think we’re going to see a categorical win or loss either way. And “the million-dollar question” is if the court will rule on whether Trump was acting on January 6 within the scope of his official duties.
