2 part far fetched explanation. trumps going to back out of the debate tomorrow, and then the scotus is going to release, or probably leak, the immunity ruling.

The ruling will be 5-4. The three minority justices joined by Roberts. Roberts has been pushing behind the scenes for a compromise decision but couldn’t move the other conservatives. They will rule something crazy town like if the president sees a top secret document it’s entwined with his being and his memory and the document becomes one in the same and since the govt can’t regulate the presidents access to his memory they can’t deny him access to the documents themselves.

It’ll be that level of bat shit crazy. But I hope this is nuts and could never happen.

The immunity question they are ruling on is not about the documents … it’s the insurrection case
