It’s June and it just dawned on me that the current session of the Supreme Court ends this month. And if that’s the case wouldn’t that mean they would have to give their decision if they think a president has full immunity this month?
I’m thinking if the Framers wanted or felt a president should have full immunity for their actions as president they would not have included the ability to impeach a President.
Normally I would think the Supreme Court would “get that” and rule against trump on this. But with this court who knows. Some seem almost as corrupt as trump.
I do know that if the Court rules in favor of trump we are both screwed and doomed.

I cannot imagine that even this lunatic right-wing Supreme Court will hand total immunity to any current or former president. BUT I have full faith in them putting off publishing a decision in time to affect the election in Trump’s favor. Oh so long ago lucyg was so right, DOOMED! Whenever I see a notification that I’ve been tagged in a (political) thread I haven’t posted in, I know what it’s going to say.  |

Why would someone who had done no wrong NEED full immunity?

I think there are times when immunity is appropriate. This ain’t one.

Nobody should be able to enact rules or laws under which he won't have to live.

I think that, in normal times (like "the before times," before TFG ruined everything upon which he gazed) that's true, because a normal President would always be putting the country first, and the Congress would removed one who wasn't. This time, TFG's Congressional cronies are fully enraptured by him. |

If they grant him immunity, Biden needs to take full advantage and do whatever he can to keep trump out of office. Then, after he is sworn in, he can resign and let Kamala give him a full pardon for any action taken during his presidency. That way the republicans can't change their minds LOL.
I'm not really serious about this, but it would serve them right. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I'm not really serious about this, but it would serve them right. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. THIS!!! 100% this! Granting full immunity for a president would be a double edged sword, because the current president could utilize it immediately. For that singular reason, I don’t think that SCOTUS would rule that way. |

Whenever I see a notification that I’ve been tagged in a (political) thread I haven’t posted in, I know what it’s going to say. I’ll admit, back in 2016 when you first started saying we were doomed I did think it was maybe a tad ‘chicken little’ ish. I mean checks & balances right? Weren’t we taught our whole lives there are checks & balances? Turns out no, checks & balances are a myth. Turns out, you were absolutely right. The sky was falling. Rights have disappeared. We are doomed. |

Excellent article; thanks for the link. IMHO, TFG already got the main thing that he wanted from SCOTUS on this, which was a delay in his DC-based trial/s until after the election. |

Guilty and planning to do more illegal things is my thought. If not guilty no reason to want immunity unless planning to do illegal things.
I agree though there is a reason why there is the impeachment option because they wanted to have a way to remove someone that isn’t following the law therefore immunity wasn’t intended.

Those eight people up there! Shame.
Somehow the GOP has gone from the self-named "party of law and order" to the party of "a president should be able to do whatever he wants as long as he hurts those I hate."
