The DOJ is arguing that a President should have immunity if his/her AG tells him/her that an action is legal. Alito asked why wouldn’t a POTUS just choose an AG who would allow them to do anything.

Heard that, the lawyer said that the Senate confirmation process would police that, yep, sure.

I can’t believe that anybody would be willing to confirm somebody if they knew that person was going to have legal license to approve ANYTHING he wanted the POTUS to do.

If this is how it would be, there would never be another US Attorney General.

In order to hold the POTUS accountable they argue to have an untouchable AG. Unbelievable. And it would be an untouchable AG because that AG could have the POTUS order the Deep State to literally murder anybody who tried to prosecute the AG.

Also, the Senate that they claim can’t be trusted to do the impeachment trial necessary to hold a POTUS accountable for crimes.... is supposed to be trusted to keep a lawless AG from being confirmed? If the legislative branch is supposed to hold the executive accountable then what’s their gripe against the Constitutional means to hold a President accountable - namely through impeachment?
