Now #JohnRoberts’ opinion is the key doc in a #legal drama playing out this autumn, as the judge presiding over the long-delayed trial, Tanya S. #Chutkan, parses what the court meant and how to move forward. Legal scholars say her job won’t be easy. Despite the #ChiefJustice’s reputation as a methodical craftsman, many experts, both conservative & liberal, say he produced a disjointed, tough-to-interpret opinion.

Kyle Cheney:

#JackSmith is urging Judge #Chutkan to streamline Trump's efforts to dismiss his D.C. prosecution by linking the immunity fight with his other efforts to scrap the case.

Trump (right) envisions a process that stretches deep into 2025.
