It’s just the opinion of a lawyer.
Whats the first thing a lawyer tells a potential client?
You have a very strong case here.
Whats the second thing?
How will you pay me fees?
My question is if no immunity, what specific criteria will they put forward to justify immunity or not? (other than Democrats - immunity, Republicans - no immunity)
Presidential immunity applies to all presidents. Except Trump.
How does he know?
I agree with his assessment. If SCOTUS rules this way it would basically follow the concept of qualified sovereign (employee) immunity. The question is whether Trump’s actions were in the normal course and scope of his position/employment .
Wrong.
Why is Jan 6 outside his immunity? Will Obama be charged for murdering two American citizens with a drone?
How can SCOTUS carve out J6 from the immunity that judges and Congress have? It would be prejudging the case that Trump was not acting within his official on J6.
I think he’s wrong.
Everyone knows this is 100% election interference - even the dumbest Democrats know it.
I don’t think the Supreme Court will want to be seen as complicit in election interference - and that’s the way everyone will see it - they would be flushing their credibility right down the toilet.
In a sane world Trump should not even need to deal with immunity. Immunity for what?
Legal opinions are what counts in this case. Let’s see what other lawyers think. I suspect a mixed bag and a split SC decision.
I think they will say if you have a problem with the President, use the impeachment process which is why it was created, to prevent using DOJ as a political tool to go after Presidents.
America, land where Demonrats start some shit and the Republican who called for peaceful action is guilty of insurrection with out being convicted of the same.
Deep State’s SCOTUS will decide whatever Deep State tells it to decide.
Cernovich will have a different take tomorrow
So some pundit puts out an opinion, big deal, his guess is as good as anyone’s. When a POTUS can’t protest an election in the country, we have a big problem and a President’s power will be 0.
Jay Sekulow, who is a constitutional lawyer and was Trump’s legal counsel in his Impeachments, believes Trump will win at the SC and get immunity. There is no authority to determine which actions are within or outside a president’s duties.
I think that if SCOTUS was going to rule unfavorably they would have just not taken the case and let the lower court stand.
He doesn’t know what SCOTUS will do anymore than we do.
Cernovich is wrong.
SCOTUS is about to define presidential immunity to include speech making.
Trump did not instigate an insurrection, nor was he convicted of such because such a charge is just is not supported by fact.
That could be the tipping point needed.
He may be right. It should all get thrown out at the lower court level because on its face, it’s all lies, but there have to be allegations that are beyond privilege.
For instance, President Biden can’t just shoot every Republican he sees, and have that only be an Impeachment possibility.
