Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed an unusual request - asking the Supreme Court to swiftly take up the issue of Donald Trump's claim that he can't be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while president. Smith wants to leapfrog the case over the DC federal circuit court of appeals and have the Supreme Court resolve the issue quickly so the case can proceed to trial on schedule by March 4th. (This is assuming the court rejects Trump's claim that he is above the law). Glenn takes on the legal and the common sense implications of Trump's assertion that a president has absolute immunity while in office and can't be prosecuted for his crimes.
