With immunity decision, Supreme Court did not give Trump what he wanted

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Trump, in his immunity-related court filings, characterizes the special counsel's attempts to try the case in a timely manner as an example of political interference and the weaponization of the justice system.
50% : Only after that time-consuming process did Trump envision that motions or petitions would be filed in the Supreme Court.
49% : Specifically, Trump wanted the court of appeals to entertain a motion for re-consideration en banc (before the whole appellate court) and allow that process to play out over weeks or months.
37% : Trump, in his specific request, had sought a delay that would almost certainly have pushed the case past the November election.
37% : With the court's order taking the case and scheduling it for April oral argument, the parties and the public will know by early summer whether Trump's claimed presidential immunity shields him from the special counsel's prosecutions.
36% : It is not what Trump wanted.
29% : While the defense team shouldn't be chastised for doing their jobs, the courts must not allow Trump to play the justice system in such a way to run out the clock.
23% : Both former President Donald Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith are mulling that axiom.
