Supreme Court weighs Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case

The Supreme Court is weighing Donald Trump’s immunity case after arguments Thursday. Justices will decide not only if Trump can be prosecuted for his actions as president, but how the law should apply to all future presidents. The claim of absolute immunity is one that both liberal and conservative justices seemed poised to reject.

    Bush said weapons of mass destruction to go to war. He lied. Obama killed American citizens with drones without them being charged with crimes. If the court rules against Trump, then past Presidents can be charged as well. I think their crimes are far worse than Trumps non crimes.

    The Supreme Court and Trump's attorneys are talking around what to me is a simple question, thereby confusing the issue. The test of Presidential immunity for acts committed while a sitting President should be whether those acts were committed within the scope of his/Presidential duties. I think the only people who would argue that interfering with the results of an election as well as engaging in seditious and treasonous acts would be Trump and his motley crew of shysters. If the Supreme Court does not see this, we are in big trouble!

  • @JohnDougherty-zk3dk
    @JohnDougherty-zk3dk16 күн бұрын

    Correction to previous comment: Next to last sentence should have read: "I think the only people who would argue that interfering with the results of an election as well as engaging in seditious and treasonous acts were part of Trump's official duties would be Trump and his crew of motley shysters." Also, the Supreme needs to take control of this case and recast it as a question of the scope of Presidential duties, which presumably does not include aiding/abetting an insurrection to overthrow our Constitutional government.

    The more power the court gives the Executive Branch....the less to their own Judicial Branch. A SEPARATION OF POWERS BETWEEN THREE BRANCHES. A President with full immunity could just eliminate the court if he wanted, or "make them disappear". The court ought to tred lightly.

    Immunity is enshrined in the Constitution itself, though. That's not whats the immunity case is about. It's about whether Trump was acting as President or Candidate in his attempts to overturn the last presidential election, and he was the latter because the Trump campaign paid for it. In an ideal world, Trump would not be immune from prosecution. The fact that the United States is about to be destroyed by a stupid, evil and insane former reality TV show host completely baffles me.

    The Supreme Court is but one branch of the government, they aren't exclusively in charge or the only rule of law; that is not their job. The other branches must censor them immediately . They purposely did not hear and are not considering the case of Trumps decisions while in office. The case is only did Trump make decisions within the law or not while in office that were lawful to the office of the Presidency for the good of the country. No he did not and neither are the majority of the court fulfilling their duties lawfully.They in fact are looking more and more like partisan hacks!
