- The Supreme Court on Thursday heard three hours of arguments over whether former President Donald Trump should be immune from criminal prosecution for official acts he took while in office. A decision, which is not expected until June, will have ramifications on the federal case that accuses Trump of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Jan Crawford has details.

I am Republican.
"No one is above the law"
It's within our Founding Fathers notary.
Same here
Independent here- remove the protections for them all - it will begin with Trump
Only thing is we need to look beyond our own bias - accountability needs to make a comeback - trump is Key if they do the right thing!
We are a nation of laws. If you break the law, you have your day in court and face the consequences. President included🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
In that case we have a lot of catching up to do
@@swankellythst is the Lesson behind the lesson here except many want to see Their guy camouflaged
It must All come out
Wow, bots out hard in these comments.
Not a "bot" buddy! Just a responsible citizen asking for equality. I pay my taxes and NEVER get on the wrong side of the law for any reason whatsoever! How about you?
@@margaretcortes9809so. You are a good citizen. Thank you.
How does that make Donald Trump a good citizen?
Wow, you still think that people who disagree with you (whatever MSM talking point) is a bot?
Go out and touch grass big guy.
A President should be held accountable
Why would america allow any president to commit whatever crimes they want while in office. That is absurd
I think they're afraid that if a president ok'd a bomb be dropped on an enemy and it accidentally killed a civilian, some one like MTG could accuse the president of a crime and have him tried. MTG would to bring charges about everything. I think the immunity would only apply to limited decision making on decisions only presidents can make.
Yes it would be absurd. Good thing it’s not really like that and you simply have no understanding of what presidential immunity means and it’s purpose.
I agree. They should hold Joe Biden accountable
@@naby214Please tell us what presidential immunity REALLY means and its purpose.
Your premise is flawed. The voters could always vote him out. The congress can impeach him. A derainged prosecuter at the behest of his political opponents can't throw him in jail. That's what happens in 3rd world countries.
We need leaders who (regardless of party affiliation) have qualities like unquestioned loyalty, of selflessness, of a well-trained mind, of recognized ability & mature experience.
What happened to no man is above the law?
Idk ask Biden
immunity such as qualified immunity is a part of the law. You can’t have cops go into violent and life or death situations where they can be prosecuted for acting properly in their official capacity, if a cop is acting improperly in their official capacity they lose qualified immunity. So to your point no man is above the law, but there are extenuating circumstances such as immunity that function within the law where every man resides.
Even if he gets absolute immunity, Trump would still be accountable via impeachment and removal from office. His party would be accountable via elections. These cases against him are just election interference.
@@JRico831So did Trump act "properly" when he orchestrated trying to send fake electors?
No one is above the law.
How hard is that to understand?
Everyone in the world should have 100 immunity, and we all will do whatever we want to do.
"This has nothing to do with me." Har, har! 😅
This had gotten ridiculous! What the hell is wrong with the democrats!
How can you defend a criminal? Reflect on yourself
Right? Why haven't they thrown him in prison yet!!!???
@@Niaaal He hasn't been convicted of anything and at this point, with all of the sham trials, even if he was convicted no one would believe it.
@@JenkinsStevenDHow do know they’re a sham. We haven’t seen the evidence so how do you they’re a sham.
YO fake news!
Why should he have immunity for everything? He isn't a god, and he has thumbed his nose at the normal law processes. Who, if not the president, can we look to but exemplify the norm in American politics? Do we now throw the law under the bus for one individual?
Joe would never do that he doesn't even know where he is.
Must be hard knowing your candidate is worse than joe Biden, huh
This case, as all of them are bogus. It's why the cases are collapsing daily. None have substance or validity.
@MrBsir390 they're both old.. get over it
We threw the law under the bus for Pelosi, and Biden, and Bidens son…
Americans should quit telling other countries how to handle their problems while at the same time we can’t handle our own and trump is proof of that with the way he’s pimping our court system 🇺🇸🤔
I don’t know how the DOJ is allowing Clarence Thomas to even sit in on this subject
Please God! Guide these people & protect us from Bullies in positions of power.
Meaning Joementia?
@@TriciaDeBaryyou think that's funny, don't you....not!
@Precious-ex5er it was very funny!!!! I wonder who ties sleepy Joe's shoes.
TRUMP 2024
Like Biden's DOJ.
What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?
A DEMOCRACY, if we can keep it.....Ben Franklin.
Lock him up 🎉🎉🎉
He will win. And restore sanity
Make sure to wipe your mouth when you're done.
Him winning would be proof there's no sanity left.
😂 got em
That's what you said in 2020 😂
The thing about it is every president has been in office who did dirt we American people know that so it's all messy just a pick on that one man
Obama clinton and bush be quaking in their boots ....
Now you can prosecute a former potus 😏
💩 bout to get real 🍿
Exactly
@@SerenityRNclinton was already prosecuted by trump's justice dept. The case was lost by trump but i bet you wont stop bullshting either way republican.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@slowbro-Obama killed an American citizen in a country we weren't at war with who had also committed no crimes.
I'm sure you'll hold Obama to the same standard, right??
@@slowbro- Comey? What a joke, and she doesn't have the same immunity that Trump does have. Get bent.
They should go after real criminals not this crazy government and it's insane.
Overturning the results of an election is a real crime
the truth , sadly our media cant tell the truth, hope we still have some judges on the sup court who have some common sense
Why should we even vote anymore then? If the president can do whatever our vote doesn’t matter anyway…. Election Day is cancelled
The supreme court is asking what an official act is....LOL we are in trouble! The president speech that day was not an official act I am not even in law to know to say it was dangerous and reckless what he did.
Did you watch his speech? I did. There was nothing about it that prompted what happened later that day.
It was a mostly peaceful protest
“I know that you will all soon be making your way down to the capital building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
~ Donald J. Trump
@@naby214 "peacefully and patriotically" I guess he meant to say "or"
To the point where he should be prosecuted?
Do you even know the time-line of when Trump was speaking compared to when people started acting like morons and fighting Capitol police?
I'm betting no.
NO immunity. If a president breaks the law, be it official or private, he should be held to account. In as much as we still have a country that is free it's because we are a country of laws. No one is above the law.
Correct including Joe Biden, he should be praying the Supreme Court rules in Trumps favor because they will come for him next.
@@Cle4n7he5w4mp Biden is a nothingburger compared to trump
@@Cle4n7he5w4mp For what? Brainwashed much? You don't understand the concept of evidence do you? You don't impeach / or take someone to trial when you have NO evidence.
Diplomatic immunity is a real thing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump hates windmills
He ain't the only one
I believe that the Supreme Court Justices should have a term limit. Additionally, I propose that the Supreme Court Justices should be elected by the people, rather than being appointed by the President. This would allow for greater accountability and transparency in the selection process. Furthermore, if there are any Justices who are found to be corrupt, they can be voted out of office. In this way, we can ensure that the Supreme Court remains an impartial and just institution.
Clarence Thomas is the dirtiest one of all of them. You don’t have to look real hard to see who’s very dirty in this. It’s plan as day. ✌️❤️😃
How is he “dirty”?
Anita Hill
@@ryanthibeaux and then theres the free house.. and the vocations..
Low-key racist...well done.
Very sad that folks think this is a joke. He's a crook!
Trump: Et tu, Brute? We all know how dictators end. 😆
44 US Presidents over 234 years and NOT a single insurrection attack on the US Govt Capitol, he's crying for Immunity, that's scary. Have you watched Civil War 😢😢😢
There was no insurrection under Trump, either. Really, who coordinates an insurrection & shows up UNARMED? The DOD presented EVIDENCE that exonerates Trump from planning January 6th. The same evidence INCRIMINATES Nancy Pelosi. She chaired the farcical J6 Committee that DESTROYED the evidence that would have exonerated Trump much sooner. The entire J6 Committee will be indicted for OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!!!!
How did the second US civil war start daddy? ........Oh some clowns granted an ex-president immunity from prosecution son.
Evil in high places
BIDEN YUP
Some egos!
What about clinton and his affair.
He stopped being a president because of it.
Cause and effect.. if you have a consciousness or a pulse.
Except he didn’t falsely business records and defraud a state to cover it up.
So what?? It came out in public, and they did their best to oust him, but Clinton certainly didn't have autocracy in mind! He was sufficiently shamed in his actions, and that was punishing for sure. He suffered because he had the morality to know that the jig was up. Our economy was great, and he was a comparatively good president. I never realized that our country was a bunch of two-faced nitpicking!
let's get the biden Tara Reade trial started Now.
I DID NOT appreciate this headline on your website
“In Trump immunity case, Supreme Court seems open to some protection!”
YOU MAKE IT SOUND OK FOR HIS BEHAVIOR. It's not OK. presidents are not above the law period. The American people want justice if we don’t get it it will be very bad, you haven’t seen bad behavior from the Democrats yet, but this could push them over the edge.
Ruby has something to show you
“Yo fake news!” At the end sums it up so well 🤣🤣
Rectal fed national treasury did he cause covid and gulf stream to 99% collapse also
She literally wrote a letter saying she never had sex with him and it’s ridiculous
Let’s go Trump!
Put him in jail period
Biden too
Yes put biden in jail
It won't happen.. Period
@@notspacedarlingsOn what crime? 😅
Huh
Everyone remembers what a Trump presidency looks like and knows we'll never survive another 4 years of affordable gas and groceries but hey , what were those crimes again .. ?
OPEC and record corporate profits are to blame for the gas and groceries
No one is above the law
Except God.
Too bad GOP cannot get rid of trump and run someone else for president. Biden needs to go.
Not looking good for you, CBS, is it?
YES SUPREME COURT SHOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED A WHILE AGO THE CONSTITUTION IS THE CONSTITUTION SHOULD NOT TAKE LONG
I mean the patriot act and its clones have been effect for how long now? 4th amendment anyone?
They are going around in circles on purpose. They are not going to endite him. They won't admit that he Is a criminal and just want a get out of jail fee pass. What a let down. Wow
Official act is pretty easy to figure out. You use your brain and the facts.
CBS crap talking for a living!
And you talking crap for free!
Your ignorance is showing trump supporters... you've been conned.😮

Only in Democrat America, has there ever been political witch hunts like this simply due to them being terrified of Trump 😂
Jack Smith is going to go sit down in a corner in defeat
All the Supreme court justice should have been at the Capitol on Jan 6.
I wonder on how that may had a huge significant & obviously verdict today to American people😮
He didn’t involve a riot so 😂
After all blm was riots and burning down building work places etc none of them were charged
Trump 2024!
LETS GOOOOOO
TRUMP 2024!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Omg! I’m so surprised at the conservative justices responses! I thought that they would immediately be for this. I hope they understand the severity of this case and don’t allow our country to become a dictatorship.
All right wingers want to live in a fascist dictatorship.
Makes a dictator

Not just against Trump. But against every president.
No affairs the stormy said ,nothing happened
Trump or war
He is already my president
The insurrection charge is laughable.
💯
Trump stating that it doesn't apply to him? Then why is he asking for immunity? Answer is: because he is worried about going to jail. He belongs in jail, we can't do what he gets away with.
Spot on !
Oh please get a clue. You can claim the 5th, have immunity, plead not guilty. All within anyone's rights!
Let's all get along!!! Grrrrrr!
Someone needs to step in and remove trump from our world So AMERICA can regain it's sanity , Then remove the political members of the court
As joe continued seling out our country..
Trump sold our oil fields to other countries! Way to go sell out
"CHYNA"
Sleepy Don.
Dude would run circles around you
I was in NYC today when Trump arrived and I couldn't believe how many construction workers started shouting We Love Trump. I'm absolutely horrified at what I'm witnessing. Lock him up before he causes anymore damage.
You are the oppressor and the odd man out.
You're going to be fine 😂
I used to be terrified of him but now I’ve seen worse. Trump doesn’t scare me anymore.
Thank God!!! I pray Trump wins again!! You fear Trump?? That is what they want!! What are you afraid of?? A better economy?? lol Wake up!
So you prefer the lawlessness of criminals being arrested and released, and open borders with no vetting of those entering?

Poor baby Fwump.
No one is ABOVE the law. If Trump supporters don't think he should be charged, then they don't have Americas best interests at heart.
Trump is America's giant "OOPS!", and that's all he should be remembered as, imo.
