“Given the importance of the trial schedule, the key practical question is whether the court focuses solely on Trump’s case or endorses immunity in other instances. Smith’s gambit is a fallback that would let the court order the trial to proceed even if its opinion extends to broader principles of immunity.”

          If they were russian their english would be better. Only republicans and very small children are that bad at spelling.

              But you have the ability to proofread and choose to omit words you’re unsure about, or look up their spelling if you want to use them. People who use misspelled words display not only poor spelling, but also a complete lack of self-reflection and will to improve. These qualities are quintessential in a republican (bad spelling is not, necessarily), and when someone criticises a misspelling, it is actually these qualities that draw their ire.

      Spoken (barely) like someone who has no idea what he’s talking about. Before you respond, get a spell checker and brush up on your grammar.

        Look, that guy has a lot of lies to post on a lot of social media. The people who are going to fall for it are too stupid to catch the bad spelling and grammar, so there’s no point in wasting time trying to look like his IQ is in the upper half of the curve.

          No, it isn’t. The DOJ is not involved at any point in an impeachment, and it is entirely a political process, not a fact finding or justice seeking one. If, say, a senate full of Republicans wants to look away from matters and not vote to have him punished, he won’t be. Like he wasn’t. And the consequences they can impart don’t include imprisonment or fines, just removal from office and a ban from holding office.
