You don’t think the prosecution of a former President during an election season warrants the immediate attention of the Supreme Court?
Or do you assume it is a fait accompli?
Won’t you be surprised if they rule in Trump’s favor.
But they won’t, because Trump doesn’t have a case here. A sitting President cannot be arrested, they can be impeached. When they are no longer a sitting President, they can be charged and brought to trial. This applies to EVERY President, not just Trump. This is the reason Nixon was pardoned.
He was impeached but not removed. That means he was found innocent of the charges brought against him by a Dem☭crat majority in a congressional kangaroo court. Even Little Stevie Wonder could see that, which is why the USSC should send the case back to the lower court where it belongs.
Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Presidents can order military action. If it turns out that, oh i dont know, rhey were working with faulty intelligence and they started a war in error killings 10s of thousands can they be personally liable when they leave office? WHt of yo8, say, illegally allows millions of people into the country. When youre no longer President are you personally liable? Sheesh, the institutions hate Trump so much they are willing to destroy the whole fabric of the Republic.
“A sitting President cannot be arrested, they can be impeached.”
I agree on this point, and Trump was impeached and acquitted. That said, I imagine an argument could be made that the congress, who was supposedly the ‘victim’ (snicker) of the January 6 riot, chose to impeach Trump on the matter and subsequently acquitted him.
How double jeopardy not a legitimate defense, in addition to Trump’s 1st Amendment protections, as well as his Presidential immunity?
They keep Fu@&ing around and meddling in our election cycles and a much larger group will be showing up in DC and they won’t be carrying Trump flags.
Exactly - while I understand the concern by the OP, yours is the most reasonable explanation.
“...because Trump doesn’t have a case here.”
Under the Constitution we used to have, he has an excellent case. In fact, no one in the feral givernment would have ever brought the case back then because Trump was POTUS at the time the fake lawbreaking occurred.
Many said that Pence, including Pence himself, could do nothing except be the master of ceremonies of the electoral vote counting. Once Trump was safely out of the way, Congress passed a law and signed by FJB officially making the VP the master of electroal college ceremonies. Funny that.
In a similar vein, if a real GOP had b@lls, like Trump’s taxes were subject to Congress disclosure because he wouldn’t voluntarily reveal them, GOP would be conducting “birth certificate” hearings as a legitimate part of the process to determine how to enable (pass a law like counting electoral votes) the old constitutional provision of qualification for the POTUS and avoid the controversy of whitey hater bho.
The reality is Trump is an DC outsider - he has no friends there - this will be a one time deal to imprison him to keep him out of DC. No one in DC represewnts us. We are in banana-land my FRiend.
So,Obama ordered the killing of two American citizens with out due process! When is his trial? That is a direct violation of the constitution. Presidents can’t sit and constantly look over their shoulder. I think Smith knows this case is going nowhere so he is asking the Supreme Court for an abortion on a case that won’t thrive in court.
But they won’t, because Trump doesn’t have a case here. A sitting President cannot be arrested, they can be impeached. When they are no longer a sitting President, they can be charged and brought to trial. This applies to EVERY President, not just Trump. This is the reason Nixon was pardoned.
I agree and disagree. They could easily charge Barack Obama with Murder if that were the case. He ordered the elimination of a Saudi National, terrorist, whose son (no terrorism or activities reported and US citizen) was assassinated with him.
However, in the ‘New’ acronym controlled media and government, Justice is only pursued on political enemies of the acronyms.......
You apparently haven't read the two main points of Trump's legal argument for presidential immunity:
1. The President is immune from prosecution for acts taken during the official conduct of his office.
2. The plain language of the U.S. Constitution may grant him immunity under the "double jeopardy" clause written into the provisions on impeachment:
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
President Trump was ACQUITTED in his impeachment trial over the 1/6 fiasco.
