I’m not sure I even understand the argument about rogue cops. Clearly they CAN and ARE prosecuted (although not nearly enough). Doesn’t this immediately undermine his thesis? But then, so does the fact that not a single other president has ever been indicted before. I guess when you’re playing to an audience of idiots you can say anything

I think it’s the audience thing.
Anyway, this somewhat clarifies things for me. In short, it will be up to the SC whether or not to play along with the delay bs.

CAN THE PRESIDENT MURDER POLITICAL OPPONENTS WITH IMPUNITY? STAY TUNED FOR A NAIL BITER

This is the Jan 6th trial right? I get confused.
How long can SC delay before ruling?
They usually like to wrap up their business in June and take the summer off, so June is the latest they’ll drag this imo.
Is he admitting there that HE is a bad apple?

So four years after 1/6 the courts have determined that it’s theoretically possible to charge Donald Trump with crimes, which no normal, non-lawrbo person ever seriously disputed in the first place. Maybe a decade or two and we’ll actually hold him accountable if he doesn’t win and overhaul the entire judicial system first. The system works, bro, no one is above the law.
Defending Obama ldo
Yes, Jan 6 trial being tried in DC District Court in front of Tanya Chutkan. See Iron’s response on decision timing. Iirc Chutkan indicated she would set aside her vacation for an August trial. Things seem to be lining up that way but fingers crossed for something earlier in case lawyers/defendant get COVID or whatever.
I get confused too. I doubt Trump can keep it all straight.
The monkey’s paw issue here is that if the courts ultimately determine that former presidents don’t have unlimited immunity, it opens the door for Obama to be prosecuted for the Central Park rape case.

Incorrect, they have not yet held that. Only 2 rounds of appeals and 4+ months left to possibly get there though!
With that said, it’s unlikely SCOTUS will hear this case. The Circuit Court is required to consider stupid cases, the SCOTUS is not.
The occasional bad apple cop (probably a gay woman of color hired under a socialist DEI initiative) is something that just has to be accepted so that white male cops with Punisher symbol tattoos are free to to murder Urban Thugs for the greater good.

Not a single rational person sincerely thinks that the president should be 100% above the law, small children grasp this immediately, our whole national mythology is based on this idea, still somehow takes Harvard Law years of deliberation to crack the mystery. You have to have your brain pounded flat by years of Ivy league sophistry for any of this to make sense.

I doubt that the Supreme Court takes up the appeal.
I think you guys are being overly dramatic. Yes, it seems obvious. It IS obvious. And sure, EVERYONE including little kids knows it. Nevertheless, presidential immunity has never been tested in the court of law before. There are procedures people! lol. You have to go through the motions (pun not intended, or maybe it is)

But. He wasn’t the president when he committed the crimes.
Biden should just tweet out:
UNDER MY PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY I HEREBY DECLARE THAT TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON. HE IS TO BE HUNG IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE TOMORROW AT NOON. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
