I am not a legal Eagle so can someone brake this down for me?
In the scheme of things, this is a victory, but not a HUGE one.
Smith wanted to move his case along, so he asked the court to give an expedited ruling on Trump's immunity issue. The Court refuse to do so.
But they didn't rule in favor of the immunity issue, that is still being litigated.
It would be HUGE, BOMBSHELL, blah blah if the court ruled on the immunity issue - and ruled in Trump's favor.
But that did not happen.
From my understanding...
Jack wanted something done now. Court said no. It will be done later as scheduled.
Jack didn’t get what he wanted. Now.
I don’t want to hear explanations. The state of Alabama has its procedure. And that procedure at this point in time is to have an arraignment. Are we clear on this?”
Just to add to what others have said, this is a partial victory for the Trump team in that it halts the expedited schedule Jack Smith was seeking. This makes it very unlikely that the case will be heard by the original March 2024 date. The decision on presidential immunity will now have to go through the normal appeals process which will take time and will likely push any trial date past next year’s election.
