Hey friends, I’m a teacher of theology and catechist for a Catholic parish.
Since there are hundreds of new friends on here, I thought I would re-introduce myself to you.
I am obsessed with theology and I write about it every day.
I want to become a better theologian and I want to help you do the same.
If we haven’t already connected, I’d love to chat with you to help you on your journey of learning Catholic theology.
I wish Substack had a Pay What You Can option so I could pay a few dollars when I read an article I appreciate instead of only having the option for a $70 year’s subscription. I cannot afford to subscribe to all the writers I appreciate and would like to support in affordable ways. are you listening?

CHUTKAN UNSEALS JACK SMITH’S 165-PAGE “IMMUNITY MOTION” IN JANUARY 6 CASE
"Judge Tanya Chutkan has unsealed Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page 'immunity motion' arguing that Trump is subjected to presidential immunity following the Supreme Court’s ruling. It appears Chutkan unsealed the 165-page document to do the maximum damage to Trump before the election."
Two points that not only the judge but Trump's detractors constantly overlook:
Trump's challenging of election results - no matter what the venue - is political free speech in its redress of government. This is protected by the First Amendment, which applies to all citizens. Even his lawsuits are protected because he is afforded the opportunity for those allegations/claims to be adjudicated. Mere words without physical coercion or illegal attempts at blackmail are just that word. Further, if simply stating that an election was stolen constitutes election interference, then there are a litany of Democrats - including Hillary Clinton who should be under indictment.
Jack Smith does not have standing to bring this indictment because he was illegally seated in his role. The Senate must ratify special prosecutors. Smith did not go through that approval process and, therefore, has no standing to bring the indictment.
This case must be dismissed constitutionally (as if that matters to Judge Chutkan).
