#Trump #Crime #2024Election
The supreme Court is supposed to be working for the American people not for one man!
Same for elected party members in our Congress.
Tell that to Obiden who is putting Ukraine and Israel before America.
tRump is above the law. The current right wing SCOTUS has no legitimacy and is simply a right wing hack filled joke.
They're being paid thru your taxes. But some of them get way more money via illegal bribes from billionaires.
@@Inferno45 you really en joy projecting your lack of education don't you!!!
SCOTUS should not be a lifetime appointment.period.
Clearly the Supreme Court considers themselves above the law. Isn't that ironic? Sadly it's the truth though, that the justices have arrogantly put themselves high above the law.
Although, it wouldn't solve the problem right now.
It needs to be abolished entirely. Its function is purely to give the ruling class who decides their appointments, the final say of laws in the land, that is nearly impossible to remove from office, and is appointed for life. Same with the electoral college. Ostensibly it is to protect states without many people from being ruled by those who had most of the people, which is a funny way of saying the people don't *really* get to have the final say over how the country is run- a handful of land owning white people or corporations running the majority of those states get an unreasonable amount of power over the outcome of elections.
All politicians need a 2 term limit. Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsome have done enough damage.
Impeach Clarence Thomas
Sick and tired of being in suspense about whether trump will get away with everything or not. Now the supreme court is actually debating if he should be above the law. He should have been prosecuted for sedition 3 years ago and imprisoned. This is absurd.
He's probably going to because our leaders are cowards
Obscenely absurd!
No crimes. There is nothing to 'get away with'.

Neither. Constitutional Republic.
@@michaelschwader7944 betting you don't even know what that is. Regardless, OUR constitution does not give the president these powers. It was intended on a basis of checks and balances, which 45 would love to dismantle.
The left so wishes it could get rid of the Constitution.
Agreed ,whether we like it or not we need our international partners as much as they need U.S.
The three branches of government are co-equal and none of them are exempt from following the law. One branch cannot have immunity if they are to be equal. The Supreme Court better get this one right. They've done enough damage already.
They are getting it right. The left is upset because they don't have control of WH, Senate, and SCOTUS.
But they DO have immunity from certain things. I’m not saying they should all have immunity from criminal prosecution (except when national security is at stake, or the ability to uphold their oaths) but all 3 branches enjoy some level of immunity.
The question isn’t whether or not government officials should have immunity. It’s WHAT SPECIFICALLY should they be granted immunity for?
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Yes they are equal in POWER. But the Presidency is 1 person. He has Tobe able to make an executive decision without worrying " Will I be prosecuted for this?"And be to scared to act.
@@78.BANDIT Gee, what a terrible worry that must be. I'm amazed at how all 44 of the US Presidents, before Trump came along, ever managed to do their jobs!!!

That's one definition, if you're a brainless twit who understands nothing of the legal system, sure.
If anyone appears to be a risk to the US then one person stands out.
Yes
As long as Clarence Thomas is still on the court, after all his wife had been involved in, the court always will be compromised!

Why would Trump attorneys get to decide what acts are presidential and if this is true I guess Biden can just take out Trump because he’s corrupt correct please know this is no threat. Don’t kick me off of you. I am just asking literally if Trump gets immunity like he is asking for Biden‘s currently the president he would be the one with the current immunity and that should scare Trump. I would think, ridiculous. This Supreme Court is ridiculous.
In 45's little pea brain,the immunity is only for him,not anyone else. He doesn't have the capacity to think farther than me,myself and I!
i think Roberts is going to pull the plug on the BS line of thinking bc he knows the Dems will be extra motivated and win both seats of power back with super majorities, and Biden would add 3 or more new and younger Justices swinging the balance back to the Liberals for decades. The Repugs have probably already lost their majorities, they just don't know it yet. Dems can't stay home...
I got kicked off for quoting Trump. So Trump can say it on CZcams but l can't. I just don't get CZcams

You are not bright.
@maharajjinkb7824, You already know.
Scary stuff. I have lost all confidence in the American justice system.
Why confusion over official vs. unofficial duties? Assassinations aren't official duties.
You can't have a Theocracy without dismantling the Justice department. Just ask the Taliban. Do they have a Justice Department? No, they have clergy and religious leaders guide innocent and guilty verdicts. Very streamlined, just not very fair.
The Taliban had an advantage. They made a deal with Trump when he was in office. That's how they were able to simply walk in to Afghanistan and just took over.
Last I heard treason is still illegal.
Someone should tell that to joe and hunter.
Trump's Supreme Court wants that gone.
So lets hold hillary biden obama and myorkas responsible for it
WHY IS THAT ELDERLY OLD MAN WITH A BAD MEMORY STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE? EVERYONE KNOWS SENATORS AREN'T ALLOWED ANY TYPE OF DOCUMENTS. TREASON WOULD BE GENTLE
But not charged depending on who does it.
SCOTUS isn't supposed to be dealing in hypotheticals, they're supposed to be dealing with the facts and circumstances before them, all of which they are studiously avoiding
Correct. They are supposed to be dealing in settled law, not legislating from the bench.
Bro, this is literally how every Supreme Court case is argued. They have to go over all the possibilities and ramifications of both possible outcomes, for and against.

So what happened since? Feel fooled somewhat? America is better now? No. It’s incredibly much worse now. Too crazy for most.
Wrong. Our country has fallen apart since. Things that have happened since Biden made his followers completely stupid. With incredibly more self entitlement attitudes. No thought to rationality and no sense of spiritual purpose. No sense of reality. Most crave selfish needs with zero regard as to why or how we enjoy freedom . There’s none now. We have rulers that persuade false deception. Nothing came for freedom for free. We are wide open now to be taken over with such ease. Because we became that stupid. It only supports….

Presidents do not have absolute immunity,
So Biden can take him out. Period. And also the justices as well if he deemed them corrupt, which they are.

@@cristinealvero8660 No it doesn't, and even Trump's lawyers were arguing in his impeachment that the place for him to be held accountable was criminal court not impeachment
How stupid was the justices' idea of determining immunity based on separating official actions from unofficial actions. A president could color any action as official, as demonstrated by some hypotheticals that were asked by Justice Sotomayor. Also, this would mean that everyone who was involved in a criminal conspiracy could be criminally convicted, except the president. Another crazy idea was that a law would only apply to the president if congress made the law explicitly state that it would also apply to the president.
I don’t think you quite understand what they were talking about.

What are you even talking about? The framers of our country put immunity for the president in the constitution, if they didn't, we would have lost WW1 and WW2 because the president would have been hamstrung by worrying about what choices would be prosecuted after his term in office.

The Supreme Court is now a political branch of government and may as well change with every new administration at this point. We're supposed to have 3 equal branches of government but 2 of them change every 2 to 4 years and only one is for life. How is that equal? We vote for Presidents and members of Congress and they are political.... Supreme Court justices are appointed by those same Presidents and confirmed by Congress.. When those Presidents and members of Congress leave, those appointments remain. In essence, the majority party in the Supreme Court remains in a branch of government that literally controls the law with the power to overturn the President and Congress, both during and after they leave. Again, how is that equal? Yes, the SCOTUS isn't supposed to be political, but it clearly is and we have no solution to change that.
Thank you for the concise and verified info. Without specific citations and references, this sounds implausible.
