Trump Drags Country Club Drama To Supreme Court

The SCOTUSblog reports:

While Black voters fight for basic voting rights under a hostile judiciary, Donald Trump treats the Supreme Court like his personal legal concierge service for country club squabbles. Must be nice having the highest court in the land on speed dial for resort drama.

Former President Donald Trump filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court on Tuesday, seeking to overturn a lower court ruling that restricted his ability to assert executive privilege over documents and disputes originating from his Mar-a-Lago property, including contested events held in the estate’s grand ballroom. The legal filing marks yet another effort by Trump to leverage the conservative-leaning high court to intervene in ongoing federal and state litigation. Legal analysts note that the emergency docket request asks the justices to bypass standard appellate procedures to shield the former president from regulatory oversight and potential civil liabilities.
