'You got to be kidding me': Legal experts outraged over latest SCOTUS announcement

Two months after the US Supreme Court heard Donald Trump lawyers argue for the former president's immunity against federal prosecution, the high court has yet to issue a ruling — and won't until at least next week.

Politico's Josh Gerstein reported Wednesday via X (formerly Twitter), "#SCOTUS announces Wednesday June 26 as expected day for release of additional opinion(s). (Tomorrow aka Friday June 21 was already announced.)"

Several legal experts immediately slammed the majority conservative court's move.

Constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis said, "You have GOT to be kidding me. July here we come? Or bury us in everything that it’s hard to digest?"

Max Burns wrote, "The Supreme Court works two days a week for 30 minutes per day, and they feel zero accountability to the American people to deliver timely opinions on major questions of law."

The Nation's Elie Mystal lamented, "Oh, so they're gonna release immunity the day *before* the debate. Cool... cool... (walks into the ocean)."

Democracy Docket founder Mark Elias wrote via X (formerly Twitter), "Through delay, the Supreme Court has effectively conveyed immunity on Donald Trump. He has gotten what he wanted—to push off his federal criminal trial until after the election."

The legal expert also spoke with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, saying, "Let's be clear, there is nothing in the Constitution that gives presidents immunity. In fact, quite to the contrary, the text of the Constitution suggests that presidents don't have immunity, since the legislative branch does explicitly have immunity that is not shared with the executive branch."

Elias emphasized, "But at least some members of the Supreme Court, by manipulating the calendar, by simply deciding to hear a case they didn't have to, and then sitting on how case that quickly that case got decided, they have granted Donald Trump the relief he sought, which is that there will be no trial before the November election. And that is a tragedy for democracy. It is a thumb on the scale, and frankly, it does nothing other than undermine peoples' confidence in the US Supreme Court as neutral arbiters."
