    Trump has until Feb. 12 to appeal ruling to Supreme Court

      Will they though? It’s a dangerous precedent to set and would let Biden make use of the same immunity (not that he’s likely to use the opportunity…)

        If they rule that the President is immune to all criminal proceedings and Biden doesn’t immediately execute McConnell I will be disappointed.
