Then you’ll see a whole lot of presidents prosecuted over political B/S after they leave office and a whole lot of government officials prying open presidential communications.
Yes Sir, I agree that's certainly possible. Many glass ceilings have been broken the last 20 years, and the pieces can't be put back together on most of them. But I believe the answer is to always follow the Constitution, and our conservative principles, to the best of our ability.
And in this case, unlimited Presidential power to potentially break the law, with impunity, is the core issue at stake. The President is already the most powerful person on the planet, by far. There are very few restraints on this power, as it has grown year by year over the history of this country.
Many powers, such as the ability to unilaterally and essentially declare war on another nation, without consulting Congress, is in violation of the Constitution, but now accepted as the modern norm. Presidents are routinely negotiating treaties with other nations, again against the Constitution, which grants that authority solely to the Senate. These are just a few obvious examples, there are of course many more.
Therefore, I am more concerned about the growing and unbridled power of the President, than I am of a President being unfairly accused of abusing those powers. Trump and Clinton both proved a President can even govern while being impeached, and that the American people are often sympathetic to their Presidents being persecuted as well. Bottom line I believe a government should be balanced, fair, follow the rule of law at all times, and hold those accountable who break the law.
I realize that you and others may feel differently, especially as it is Trump putting forth this argument, but I would ask you consider from a conservative viewpoint, of limited government and personally accountability, to understand my position as well. Thank you again, very much.
Just to be clear, when I say “In this case” and further throughout my post #73, I am strictly referring to the appeal to the US Supreme Court by Trump regarding “Presidential Immunity” and not the originating case in lower Federal court regarding the electoral college vote on J6. Sorry if that wasn’t clear, and thanks again.
