LIVE AT 9:50! Oral arguments in SCOTUS immunity case
If Trump doesn’t have immunity then NO politician has immunity so SUE them for the disaster they’ve created
she certain thinks he is bent on acting criminally.
Oh come on! We all know the same rules would not apply to a Democrat.
It also shows where the mind of the left is when they equate holding public office to being a personal benefit. That would apply to every person who seeks office, thus making running for office itself an illegal act.
justices are getting irritated w/Dreeben. CJ, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh ain’t buying. not sure about Alito or Thomas yet.
Dreeben is wishy washy, not convincing.
well...........he’s gay, so there’s that
he Dreeben speaks to justices like they are students in Con Law 101 which is not a winning approach and a time-waster.
Your take on Barrett as sotomayor is clearly leading him and using her interpretation to be supportive of criminal
I’m not impressed at all with Dreeben’s arguments, too open ended, way too much latitude to prosecute a President. Open to political prosecutions
Jackson sounds desperate and nervous if Trump is elected president again.
Seems to me, that the left is attempting to establish a wider avenue through which, the left can find a judge to review the intent of almost any steps made by the President.
And thereby, the left would practically exercise executive authority via
Government by Judiciary
- Raoul BergerA big problem.
once in a while theres an eclipse too - Alito - Drebeen ‘s confidence in DOJ - uh, no!
*there’s
Jackson sounds like a left-wing campus commissar whose ambition is prosecutor.
Unsure how this turns out. Will read transcript.
Here’s the thing. A President can be impeached for just about ANYTHING he does while in office that rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. ANYTHING.
And he acts he performed / committed PREVIOUSLY. As in a first term.
There’s no prohibition that I am aware of to stop that.
It’s like the pardon power. Impeachment has very few requirements.
Mr. Dreeben (for The Swamp) believes that, with the exception of a narrow list of Constitutionally authorized activities, ALL OTHER ACTIONS BY THE PRESIDENT are subject to judicial examination for criminal intent.
Justice Alito just made a very good case for how upholding the appellate court decision could lead to presidents refusing to leave office or being imprisoned by their successor if they do.
It’s not sounding good for Trump’s immunity claim.
I cannot imagine this being worse than 6-3. there’s no way the ‘conservatives’ on the court vote to allow immunity to not exist.
