Whether former President Donald Trump is ever truly held accountable for his crimes depends entirely upon the outcome of the November election. And as The Atlantic’s Quinta Jurecic writes, he largely has the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to thank for that.

In her Wednesday essay, Jurecic — a senior editor at Lawfare — laid out how SCOTUS’ 6-3 conservative supermajority has consistently been the former president’s strongest ally in his efforts to stay out of prison. She posited that Trump may already be behind bars after being found guilty of 34 felonies in New York earlier this year were it not for SCOTUS’ assistance in his stalling tactics.

According to Jurecic, the Court signaled that it would be playing a significant role in the former president’s efforts to delay criminal accountability when it granted a writ of certiorari to hear Trump’s argument for absolute broad criminal immunity. The Court’s decision to hear the case despite both U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals agreeing that the president was not above the law meant that the final decision in Trump v. United States wouldn’t be announced until just a few months before the election.
