With the presidential immunity case the SCOTUS was given an iron-clad ruling from the DC circuit court. It did not need to hear this case at all.
If it believed that, for reasons of legitimacy, it needed to weigh in, the Court could have granted cert to this appeal on the narrow question of whether or not Donald Trump, in this particular case, could claim immunity.
Instead, the Court granted cert on the widest grounds possible, giving itself the scope to define presidential immunity for all time.
Kim Wehle talked about this choice last night and it is striking how the conservatives on this Court were eager for the chance to create precedent.
“We’re writing a rule for the ages,” Justice Neil Gorsuch said during arguments.
But no one asked Gorsuch to write a rule for the ages.
The Court was given a narrow question to decide and the Court’s conservatives chose to widen the aperture as much as possible so that they could make right some cosmic wrongs they see in American law.
Which is exactly what conservatives used to complain that liberal judges did.
