Professor David Driesen Discusses Donald Trump’s Filing to Delay Response to Jack Smith’s Immunity Brief to After the Election

Donald Trump’s legal team has requested that the deadline for responding to special counsel Jack Smith’s recently filed Presidential immunity brief in the January 6 case be delayed until after the election.

In Newsweek, University Professor David Driesen said “Doctrine and precedent used to be the metric that worked best to predict how the Supreme Court would rule on any given issue. But that’s no longer a good guide to say what this court is going to do. Instead, it’s necessary to look at the political beliefs of the justices because that’s what tells you how they’re going to rule.”
