Donald Trump had a fantastic day in the Supreme Court today (Liberals are now panicking)

Thursday’s argument in Trump v. United States was a disaster for Special Counsel Jack Smith, and for anyone who believes that the president of the United States should be subject to prosecution if they commit a crime.

I'd start with charging Obama and Eric Holder as accessories to murder for running guns illegally to the Mexican drug cartels that were eventually used to kill Border Patrol agents (Operation Fast and Furious).

There are no statute of limitations on murder.

By that same logic, everyone who tried to get a "faithless" Elector to change their vote in 2000 and 2016 was guilty of trying to overthrow an election.

The President should not be immune from murder, for example.

Let's be clear about something...

No Congress would protect a President who was credibly accused of murder from impeachment and conviction. Not even Schumer would block a conviction in the Senate if Biden actually murdered someone while in office.

There is no reason to bypass the impeachment process with such extreme outlier cases as murder, coup d'etat, etc. If something like that were to actually happen, then impeach, convict, and then indict and try. We don't need a debate on the boundaries of immunity in such outlandish cases when the Constitutional remedy is already in place.

The only reason to entertain such fantasy is if they believe that Congress is so rabidly partisan that they would excuse even murder to maintain power. The solution to such a wild proposition is to elect a better Congress, not to invent new categories of separation of powers like "official duties" and "private duties."

"Passage of time" is the dispute.

Given the wildly extreme hypotheticals discussed this morning, one would think that impeachment and conviction would be practically automatic if credible evidence of murder or selling nuclear weapons to enemies was produced.

I don't believe the "passage of time" departure from the Presidency opens up the President to be charged for anything he did in office that the opposition didn't like. I believe the "impeach, convict, indict, and prosecute" model implies the opposite too, that is, absent impeachment and conviction, a former President cannot be indicted and prosecuted for acts undertaken while President.

It’s so vague that perhaps nobody will understand that it’s supposed to be biden. But that is likely for vague art.

Yes, but it shows the despair of the Leftists even there.

SCOTUS knows this is, all of it, just bullshit.

“The President should not be immune from murder, for example.”

Definitely true.

Of course he wouldn’t be immune in that hyperbolic situation. [SMH]

If the SCOTUS allows this to go forward, all living past presidents heads are on the chopping block.
