The Supreme Court Spurns Jack Smith

The Supreme Court Spurns Jack Smith


Updated Dec. 22, 2023 6:47 pm ET

The Supreme Court made the right call on Friday when it declined to expedite a ruling on Donald Trump’s presidential immunity defense against special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 prosecution.

The Justices declined Mr. Smith’s petition for quick review in a single sentence without dissents. It takes four votes for the Court to accept a case, so this means none of the six conservative Justices voted to do so even if the three liberals did.
