This is not the yet-to-be-issued D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals opinion regarding the Jan 6th criminal case against Donald Trump (although, I plan to read that opinion as soon as it is issued). Rather, it is in response to a claim of immunity made by Donald Trump in response to several civil suits brought against him for actions surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, consolidated as Blassingame v. Trump (Dec 1, 2023). This important circuit court opinion follows last week's reading of Nixon v. Fitzgerald perfectly; it provides a more thorough background on presidential immunity - a topic that is particularly relevant to current events.
As soon as the Circuit Court issues an opinion on Judge Chutkin's ruling in the Jan 6th case, I will begin reading it for you. However, if the Court issues a new SCOTUS opinion in a case argued this term, it will take priority over reading any Circuit Court rulings issued at or around the same time.
