Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity to be announced

It could have been a major topic of discussion for the debate. We'll have to wait. Fox News chief legal correspondent, anchor of Fox News Sunday, Shannon Bream, with the latest on the decisions coming out of the US Supreme Court. Good evening, Shannon, good evening, Brett. So the court is making headlines tonight for the cases it didn't decide in the hours leading up to that big showdown, critical cases, a couple of them to President Trump's legal fights and to his run for the White House. And apparently, it's so contentious and tough to wrap these up. The court made it official today. They will not wrap a schedule this week. This goes into overtime next week. We still do not know where the court will land on the issue of presidential immunity behind closed doors. The justices are working on this question. Whether, and if so, to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office? Special Counsel Jack Smith alleges Trump tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election and directed his supporters to the Capitol on January 6th. Trump argues he has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts taken within the outer perimeter of his official responsibilities. The events of January 6th also figure in another decision we're awaiting, whether the Justice Department wrongfully applied an obstruction statute passed in the wake of the Enron scandal against hundreds of January 6th defendants, including President Trump. Today, the court did release its official opinion in an abortion case after a document which appeared to be a draft of that decision was inadvertently and temporarily posted to the court's website Wednesday. The court ultimately decided not to address the merits of a conflict between Idaho's restrictive state abortion law and a federal law the Biden administration is using to press for wider abortion access, sending it back to a lower court instead. Both sides say the fight is not over. So the emergency room is there to provide health care. Abortion is not health care. We will not rest until reproductive freedom is the law of the land for every single woman in the United States of America. It's entirely possible that case ultimately ends up back here at the Supreme Court in some matter of time. Today, the justices also blocked a massive bankruptcy settlement related to the opioid epidemic. It's a deal that would have shielded the family behind pharma Purdue, Purdue Pharma, the makers of Oxycontin, from a big deal of liability. Well, we know this. The justices will give us decisions again, 10:00 AM Eastern on Friday. And Brett, as I said, they made it official. Expect them on Monday too. Yeah, first time that that's happened in in a long time. Shannon, really quickly, everybody's focused on this immunity case, but that's Chevron case, the so-called Chevron case. That's a really big deal. Big picture. It is for federal regulations. Up until now, there's a lot of deference given to federal agencies that they get to decide how to interpret the laws that Congress passes when there's an ambiguity. A lot of folks worry about that, say it's an unelected branch. They're not accountable directly to the people. Nobody votes for them. We'll see if the court reigns in that agency power. OK. Shannon Breen outside the court. Shannon, thanks.
