If our founders wanted a pres to have immunity, they would have put it in the Constitution. They didn't, they did say a pres could be impeached, and charged for a crime. No immunity's for a pres, regardless of what party they are.

I suspect that scotus will once again 'give' more power to .gov via judicial fiat. That has been the trend for decades, continue giving power to our overlords.

The argument is the impeachment clause is the basis for the immunity argument. Sovereign immunity certainly exists for bettor or worse. Congressmen & Senators have immunity on the floor. The president has to have immunity or else he's subject to the whims of every partisan prosecutor in the union.

For those who attack the idea, there's a remedy specified in the constitution but Trump wasn't impeached & removed and fighting for accurate elections is hardly a threat to democracy, insurrection, etc. John Roberts didn't even preside over the 2nd impeachment. What's that tell you?

J6 was no insurrection. It was a riot and likely an optics trap by the Left.

Keep Trump off the ballot for "insurrection" is something SCOTUS has to shut down if it aims to protect the nation.
