President Donald Trump claimed, “absolute immunity” in court against Jan 6th civil suits.

His legal team says “this question has already been answered by the Supreme Court, which held that the immunity is rooted in constitutional separation of powers.”

From Fox News:

Former President Donald Trump is claiming “absolute immunity” in all civil suits pertaining to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Trump’s preliminary statement to the court has been released, in which the former president’s legal team dismisses the possibility of civil suits against Trump entirely, citing presidential immunity.

“This appeal requires the adjudication of a simple but important constitutional issue regarding the separation of powers: whether the scope of the presidential absolute immunity continues to reach the outer perimeters of presidential responsibilities or whether the immunity can be undercut if the presidential act in question is unpopular among the judiciary,” the statement read.

Trump’s legal team continued, “This question has already been answered by the Supreme Court, which held that the immunity is rooted in constitutional separation of powers, and it is especially important to the President because he deals with matters that are controversial and arouse intense feelings.”

We will update this as we learn more… ot;

• "Pass legislation strengthening qualified immunity and other protections for police officers."
• Give back police "surplus military equipment; it must go back to them."
• "Dismantle every street gang, cartel, and violent criminal organization."
• Investigate "racist prosecutors" for "violations of federal civil rights laws."
• Stop the "weaponized" justice, Trump said, as the Biden administration and blue-state Democrats continue to go after conservatives instead of the criminals in their crime-infested locals.
• Stop going after law-abiding gun owners, and stop the criminals of gun violence.
• "End the travesty on the southern border," and go back to the Trump administration doctrine of enforcing immigration law already on the books.
• Return to the deportation of "criminal aliens and non-citizens."
• "Congress must fund a major increase of ICE officers."

"These are just a few of the reforms that can restore law and order in America, and really very quickly, but remember none of this will happen if we do not get America First Republicans elected to office," Trump said, turning his address to the endorsement of crime-fighting Republicans in the state of Nevada, including GOP gubernatorial nominee Joe Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff and head of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, and GOP Sen.-nominee Adam Laxalt.

Trump is right, but he’s talking as if we are still a country of laws and rules. We are not.
