HEAR HISTORY: Supreme Court hears Donald Trump’s Jan. 6th immunity claim | MSNBC
The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Donald Trump’s broad presidential immunity claim. The arguments focus on Trump's criminal charges over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results and whether they should be dismissed based on that broad claim of immunity. The decision could impact Trump’s criminal trial in Washington, D.C., the criminal classified documents case in Florida and the election interference criminal trial in Georgia.

Alito himself Is an abusive power
Sotomayor seems to get it....personal gain vs official acts...trumpadump charges were for personal gain.
It's interesting to see when Thomas and Kavanaugh chose to speak. Definitely know where they seem to stand. No one should be above the law. The nerve that he's actually asking the Supreme Court to give him immunity is insane.
it's hard to believe the supreme court is entertaining immunity for anyone who didn't negotiate it in court thru a guilty plea. We live in strange times
Sauer’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard.😮
If the Supreme Court gives Trump a pass, letting him get away with these crimes. Couldn't Joe Biden dismiss Supreme Court members who let Trump get away. Maybe we should have a twelve member Supreme Court.

Yes. The only real check/balance that the executive has on the courts is to either ignore them (dangerous, possibly impeachable) OR to "pack the court" by appointing more Justices. That is a very slippery slope but yes that is Biden's last tool available

Here's a thought. If defendant Trump is given absolute immunity, then President Biden would automatically have absolute immunity. And SEAL team 6 now comes into play, and further trials, as well as the election in Nov, other than lower offices, is now moot.

@@daveharvey5764that is how things work in a democracy. Candidates who lost have the right to contest the results in courts. If they lose in court, then it is clear that they didn't have the votes to win. Trump lost in courts. He should have accepted the results of the election. He did not and tried to stay in power by breaking the law.
If the courts are honest and true to the EVIDENCE and the LAW and duly and honestly executed at every level, then why should ANY president need special immunity since an honest and just outcome could be expected should ANY president be charges with a crime?

Those who created this system of prevention didnt fathem a crime with such depth of destruction to our whole democratic process.
So, the argument is that because other criminals got away with serious felonies in the past that criminals should continue to get away with serious felonies in the future. That seems like an exceptionally poor argument.
