Contributing sentiments towards policy:
46% : While the case is a landmark ruling on the powers of the American presidency, it will have immediate effects for Trump, the first former President in history to be indicted.44% : Trump faces sentencing in that case on July 11, and he has already vowed to appeal.
38% : Sending these questions back to a lower court all but guarantees that the trial in this case will be delayed until after voters decide in November whether to return Trump to the White House.
37% : U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, is yet to rule on that claim, but the special counsel's team is likely to argue that the conduct in the indictment -- illegally retaining classified information -- occurred after Trump left office and therefore is not entitled to immunity, Finkelstein says.
30% : And if Trump wins the election and returns to the White House, he could order the Justice Department to drop its case against him.
30% : Read More: What Happens Next Now That Trump Has Been Convicted?
30% : Trump has argued that the charges in this case should also be thrown out on the grounds that he is entitled to sweeping presidential immunity.
27% : The indictment claims that Trump pressured state officials to tamper with vote counts and organized a fake slate of pro-Trump electors.
26% : Your Questions, AnsweredThe high court's ruling could impact Trump's state election-interference trial in Georgia led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who charged Trump and 14 of his allies in a sprawling racketeering indictment for allegedly attempting to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.
22% : The indictment in that case holds that Trump had conversations with people outside the federal government, including Raffensperger -- alleged conduct also in Smith's indictment.
21% : But the Supreme Court didn't offer answers on other conduct alleged in Smith's indictment, writing that further proceedings at the lower court level are needed to determine whether Trump can be prosecuted for his alleged attempt to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject the Electoral College vote, and his interactions with state officials, private people, and voters about election fraud and the violence on Jan. 6.U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing that case and was appointed by former President Barack Obama, will be tasked with sifting through the allegations in the indictment to separate Trump's official acts as President from private ones, when he was acting as a presidential candidate.
15% : Those acts include conversations Trump had with people outside the federal government, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who famously rejected Trump's pressure to "find" enough votes to flip the state's 2020 vote.
13% : Roberts wrote for the conservative majority that Trump is "absolutely immune" from prosecution for his alleged conduct relating to conversations with Justice Department officials about launching investigations into election fraud and potential fraudulent slates of electors.
12% : Trump has claimed that the Supreme Court's ruling should put an end to all four of his criminal cases, and his lawyers will likely use the ruling to argue that the cases should be dismissed because they involved official conduct Trump undertook as President.
