Will John Robert’s become a Kangaroo Court?

Today was the Supreme Court’s hearing Donald Trump’s claim that the federal charges accusing him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election must be thrown out because he is immune from being prosecuted for any official act he took as president.

I listened to part of it, and after reading the first opinions from various pundits, I can sense plenty of sympathy for Trump on the part of some conservative Supreme Court Justices. While we have no idea as to how and when this claim will be adjudicated, I fear that our top Judges will kick the can down the road as much as possible and make it difficult for the case to be done before the November election. 

Why do I think that way? Deep inside, the conservative majority doesn’t want their decision on abortion be annulled following a Biden and Democrat victory in both Chambers, that might suggest that the 9 current judges could be diluted to 13 to permit such a turnaround. 

So, theses Judges might secretly hope Trump stays in power to prove them right and maintain their feeble credibility among the Nation. If I’m right, we might be as I fear it, faced with a Kangaroo Court, for lack of a better qualifier...
