hu. if you know you know. thank you for jojoining me t to. i i ll see youou next satuturda 8:00 a.m. smerconish is up next. there s an election coming, but you ll never hear jack smith say so. the supreme court is about to have more influence on the outcome of a presidential election than at any time since is the 2000 decision in bush verv. gore. jack smith asked the court to bypass the appellate level and make a decision about whether donald trump is entitled to immunity. and separately, this week they agreed to hear a challenge to a law used to prosecute hundreds of january 6th defendants for obstructing or impeding an official proceedingsing, which could impact smith s prosecution against trump on those charges. here s what s interesting to me. nowhere in the government s petition is there any specific reference to the 2024 presidential election, but that s clear ly what is driving smith s request. in making his case, here s what he told the court. quote, this case prese
