Yes they are, otherwise it would be mayhem.

Look for lefties claiming that Klinton and Obama were exempt when they were in office to quickly have a change of heart and forget all of their former defenses.

Liberals are planning on using New York state courts to crush Trump, the logic being that he isn't shielded from state actions.

SCOTUS - unanimously, said different in Clinton v. Jones.
So what is the distinction between that and Pres. Trump ?

Typically such cases get deferred until after they leave office.

I think the Paula Jones vs Clinton changed that.

Another jurist making up laws from their small little corner of the world. Will be denied on appeal, established and settled law on this going way, way back. These judges should all be censured and removed when they do dumb crap like this.

They have to be or else every President is going to go broke defending themselves against civil suits.
