- The Supreme Court is weighing Donald Trump’s immunity case after arguments Thursday. Justices will decide not only if Trump can be prosecuted for his actions as president, but how the law should apply to all future presidents. The claim of absolute immunity is one that both liberal and conservative justices seemed poised to reject.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, and that means that if anyone breaks the law they need to be in jail. We all are accountable for our actions.
"no on is above the law"
unless of course you have a D after your name.
Bush said weapons of mass destruction to go to war. He lied. Obama killed American citizens with drones without them being charged with crimes. If the court rules against Trump, then past Presidents can be charged as well. I think their crimes are far worse than Trumps non crimes.

Like who?

But Biden is President now! and as President he could just lock citizen Trump up and no one could go after him for it? interesting?
DO NO WRONG AND YOU DON'T NEED IMMUNITY!!.
Wrong! Because the opposition rather it be Dems or Republicans is always looking for any reason to attack a sitting president.
FACTS!!!
Corrupt Court
"Corrupt" no to turn Presidents into monarchs? The states might as well not have revolted when price of tea was too high then.
Another turning point in American history. This decision to decide if the president has the right to break the rule of law will determine if Americans will live in a Democracy or a Monarchy.
It's a republic. Democracy is a hidden word for socialism
We live in a Republic, not a democracy. If you don’t think previous Presidents haven’t broken the law while executing their office, then you haven’t read a history book.
@@elaknalon23
We live in a democratic republic. Has the Supreme Court ruled a President has complete and total immunity before?
In case you haven’t noticed, we live in monarchy now. They made up bogus charges about trump, and went after him, but they would not have if he decided not to run. If he’s truly a criminal, why wait until now?
@@geraldbaudoin336if dems believe charging a leading presidential candidate with a bunch of crimes to tie him up in court and suing him for record amounts of money isn’t going to make dems looks corrupt, then you sofa king clueless. If the dems were doing a decent job, the most smeared president t in history would not stand a chance. Face it, Democrats are corrupt and Biden is by far the worst president in the history of all national leaders.
scotus, the making of the next dictator.. or saving the contry... no unlimited imunity PERIOD.
The supreme Court is not voting for a dictator if they was it would be Biden.
What about presidential pardons?
And a decision that will affect Bush, Obama, Biden too.
how wil it effect bush or oboma? sorry but, THEYstayd withing teh pres authority. unlike triator don... stop the lies
ABSOLUTLEY.
The fact that they are going to take months deciding if Trump is above this law is shameful. There is no reason they are even hearing this. Just a stall tatic to get Trump off the hook I have no respect whatsoever for this joke of a court.
The question is whether the doj has the ability to prosecute, not if a former president is above the law. Big difference in a minor distinction.
Russia and Saudi Arabia have absolute immunity, do we want to walk that way. No rivals, no Navalny, no Kassogui
No one is above the law! What the hell happened to "LOGIC"? Talk about going backwards third world countries banana Republic I don't think that's the direction this country wants to go in! 🗽⚖️🇺🇸🍌
The 1/06 rioters acted like they were in a banana republic.
We're not heading the right direction when people vote democrat
No president requires immunity, they need to follow and maintain lawful leadership. It’s that simple. All official acts should be lawful to start with.
If Trump is granted absolute immunity, what would be different from Putin, Bin Salman eliminating their opponents as Navalny or Kassogui
If it benefits the United States of America ok ,but not to benefit him self to stay out of trouble
Everything Trump has done benefitted America, unlike Biden where everything he has done benefitted other countries. That's why I'm voting Trump and all red.
The Supreme Court and Trump's attorneys are talking around what to me is a simple question, thereby confusing the issue. The test of Presidential immunity for acts committed while a sitting President should be whether those acts were committed within the scope of his/Presidential duties. I think the only people who would argue that interfering with the results of an election as well as engaging in seditious and treasonous acts would be Trump and his motley crew of shysters. If the Supreme Court does not see this, we are in big trouble!
Correction to previous comment: Next to last sentence should have read: "I think the only people who would argue that interfering with the results of an election as well as engaging in seditious and treasonous acts were part of Trump's official duties would be Trump and his crew of motley shysters." Also, the Supreme needs to take control of this case and recast it as a question of the scope of Presidential duties, which presumably does not include aiding/abetting an insurrection to overthrow our Constitutional government.
The more power the court gives the Executive Branch....the less to their own Judicial Branch. A SEPARATION OF POWERS BETWEEN THREE BRANCHES. A President with full immunity could just eliminate the court if he wanted, or "make them disappear". The court ought to tred lightly.
Legislators can break laws as long as they are on the clock.
Immunity is enshrined in the Constitution itself, though. That's not whats the immunity case is about. It's about whether Trump was acting as President or Candidate in his attempts to overturn the last presidential election, and he was the latter because the Trump campaign paid for it. In an ideal world, Trump would not be immune from prosecution. The fact that the United States is about to be destroyed by a stupid, evil and insane former reality TV show host completely baffles me.
I hope those black justices honor
Our beloved Doctor Martin Luther King
And all our heros who fought with valor
To build the USA on the principles of law not a King
King died in vein. He wanted people to be judged by their character, not the color of their skin. Everything we have seen over the past 10-15 years is people being judged by the color of their skin, and boy do they get some awesome privileges.
The Supreme Court is but one branch of the government, they aren't exclusively in charge or the only rule of law; that is not their job. The other branches must censor them immediately . They purposely did not hear and are not considering the case of Trumps decisions while in office. The case is only did Trump make decisions within the law or not while in office that were lawful to the office of the Presidency for the good of the country. No he did not and neither are the majority of the court fulfilling their duties lawfully.They in fact are looking more and more like partisan hacks!
Asking for community speaks volumes as far as guilt!
Trump always said if you buy the judges, that’s what help makes deals, and he was right!
It should be over by now. Either presidents are or are not. It’s presidents don’t have immunity than the Supreme Court is the president. So just eliminate the position.
hmmm? weird...
There is no presidential immunity in the constitution, period. Should never made it to the Supreme Court. The courts need to leave the decisions to congress as it is congress that will review and impeach a president.
Oh yes they put one in so it should be upheld
If there was immunity, Then why was Nixon pardoned?
Wow this news broadcast is so miss leading in the beginning. The key phase that is being used to miss lead you is ‘above the law’ which isn’t the argument at all. Everyone should listen to the actual arguments made in the SC hearings.
Scotus sent to protect us, but who protect us from them!
😂 TRUMP KNOWS WHAT HE DID WAS NOT RIGHT THANK GOD FOR THE COURT'S BIDEN 2024
Its time to occupy Wallstreet again

Blame the wealthy
Quotes from other presidents and precedent from beforehand.
This Trumped-Up Supreme Court has the worst lineup since the 2013 Houston Astros (51-111, .315 winning percentage).
How on earth can a democracy have a leader with ‘absolute immunity’? It wouldn’t be a democracy,it would be an autocracy just like Putin’s Russia, it’s as simple as that.
Asking for immunity clearly shows that he knows he committed crimes so obvious. He just told on himself, why are you asking for immunity if you know you are innocent!

But its not just him. Biden can throw citizen Trump in jail and they could not do anything about it, presidental immunity! Bwahahahah? Biden is President!
If no one is above the law; how is the IRS collecting income tax?
dont be ridiculous
@vertigo2894 our federal government takes income tax out of our pockets and gives it away all over the world. That's ridiculous.
Is this about Biden or Trump?
Your mom
Presidental immunity, Biden is President, He could throw Trump in jail and be immune to any charges?
Trump. You are the only one who can save the country
Look at the people who spread the news .😂
Time goes by...🤮
Met him in a dream, nice guy, but the ruling will be used centuries after I’m gone
Kings have divine right we are going back to that time?
Yes the president should have ammunity
Immunity yes a president should have immunity
President should not have any immunity as nobody is above the law.👍👍🇼🇸🇼🇸

No.
Never again! Dems attacking fellow Americans because Hillary told them to was horrible and I’ll never vote blue again. Dems are intolerant of others with a different political opinion. We have laws protecting people by race, color, gender, religion, age….. and we need to add political affiliation so we can jail anyone that thinks it’s a good idea to verbally or physically attack someone with a different political option.
Never again after the way dems treat anyone with a different option. Y’all lost me a while ago.
Making Trump face Justice is like dropping the Devil in Holy Water. Very satisfying and entertaining to watch.
Your TDS is showing
Help Buy a lawyer a yacht .More than $50 million. That’s how much Save America-the main PAC paying Trump’s legal bills-has spent on legal fees since Trump was indicted in Manhattan on March 30, 2023.
Well, when they are revenge indictments, they need to step up and help their candidate. Trump is going to win the next election, and hopefully he can get it change to where his 8 years starts all over in 2025. Would be nice to have a real president for a while to stabilize the country and dismantled the deep state.
Nothing turns my stomach like a crooked judge. Judges in this scenario. Vote Democratic.
Yes woke up and crooked democrats
