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.

At least five of the Court’s Republicans seemed eager to, at the very least, permit Trump to delay his federal criminal trial for attempting to steal the 2020 election until after this November’s election. And the one GOP appointee who seemed to hedge the most, Chief Justice John Roberts, also seemed to think that Trump enjoys at least some immunity from criminal prosecution.

I like this quote from Roberts.

Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts signaled concern about relying merely on the “good faith” of the prosecutors to prevent abusive prosecutions against presidents if the Supreme Court rejects presidential immunity.

“Now you know,” Roberts told Dreeben, “how easy it is in many cases for a prosecutor to get a grand jury to bring an indictment. And reliance on the good faith of the prosecutor may not be enough in some cases

Well, ain’t that just mighty white of him. “Some” immunity. I hate that guy.

The lawyer laughingly countered by agreeing and saying the protection against a bad case is the jury, lol, like the NY jury on the Trump trial - a jury that would convict Trump of anything.

From the Vox article [The Department of Who Writes this Crap?]

“Justice Samuel Alito, meanwhile, played his traditional role as the Court’s most dyspeptic advocate for whatever position the Republican Party prefers. At one point, Alito even argued that permitting Trump to be prosecuted for attempting to overthrow the 2020 presidential election would “lead us into a cycle that destabilizes ... our democracy,” because future presidents who lose elections would mimic Trump’s criminal behavior in order to remain in office and avoid being prosecuted by their successor”

Alito is a conservative unlike most of the Republican Party.

Which is why the Grand Jury idea needs to be abolished or drastically changed to limit the ambitions of political prosecutors.

Im anxiously awaiting Pelosi, Hillary and Al Gore to all get thrown in jail for 500 years for doing the exact same thing as Trump. When does their trial start?

Good faith? How can anyone bring themselves to mutter that after the Duke lacrosse players rape trial? Long gone.

The Founders didn't intend that there be a prosecutor behind every blade of grass.

I believe this is to protect Obama, et al, as they believe the jig may be up. Trump goes down, so do they.

And the Founders didn’t expect the prosecutors to be criminal lawyers (lawyers that are criminals).

Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the Swamp. Agenda driven prosecutors. Agenda driven media figures. Agenda driven appointees.

This is the Swamp. This is why no one with a political career should be qualified for office the next time he or she runs.

Whoa! Who stole the 2020 election here? As far as I’m concerned we the voters demanded to know what happened in the dark of night while Trump was clearly the winner. Trumps people have explained over and over how the dims stole it. The dims just say it wasn’t stolen with no facts or figures to back it up. I feel disenfranchised that my vote was not counted . Thank you Trump and company for defending and questioning my vote.

ABC did an uneven article on this, including this malapropism: Kavanaugh raises question of 'risk' of 'vague' statues to go after a president

"Vague statues?" Would that thing go after a president?
