The D.C. Circuit Rejects Trump's Presidential Immunity Claim

On February 6, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected former President Donald Trump's appeal of his presidential immunity defense in the federal government's Jan. 6 case against him. Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare Senior Editors Quinta Jurecic, Scott R. Anderson, and Roger Parloff, and Lawfare Executive Editor Natalie Orpett, in front of a live audience on RUclips and Riverside for a deep dive into the ruling, its meaning, and the court’s unanimity. They also discussed what comes next and what the Supreme Court might do in response.

It's like you don't understand "unanimous".

[@margil9368]

Because it was unanimous. All of them agreed.

The one thing I loved is that the DC Circuit only gave Donnie until Monday to file his appeal. They are NOT allowing him to use his favorite tactic of delay. They are making him jump through hoops.
