So there seems to be general feeling of gloom in the media about Trump’s immunity case in the SCOTUS. Specifically a lot of people are saying that, while SCOTUS is unlikely to find for Trump outright and find he is immune, they will return it to the lower court in a way that will ensure that the lower court must then spend a long time dealing with the immunity claim, ruling out a trial in 2024. Which would obviously be SCOTUS handing Trump a win, seeing as his MO with this and all his trials is to delay and delay, until he gets elected again and can kill all the federal cases. So, other than the well deserved poor reputation of the current SCOTUS with party political issues (not to mention the fact they are hearing this, clearly ridiculous, immunity case at all), what is it that has led so many commentators to decide this is where this is heading? What would the logistics even be of the SCOTUS doing this? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-the-doom-about-trumps-immunity-case-at-scotus-keep-this-one-narrow-focused/1000972)._
