Is Trump above the law? The Supreme Court weighs in.

- The Supreme Court is set to decide to what extent former President Trump could be immune from prosecution for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021, as his lawyers have claimed. Post Opinions columnists Charles Lane, Ruth Marcus and Jason Willick discuss the strategy and timing of these arguments and what we might expect the justices to decide in this showdown about the future boundaries of presidential authority.
Are we talking about Presidential Immunity? Is Biden as well as Trump immune or are we just interested in Donald Trump?
only Trump so he cannot be prez again. Obozo broke numerous laws
The funny part about this is that by trying to convince people that Biden is an inept old man, you are decreasing the chances that he would actually get charged.
They just care about taking Trump down, no matter what lies they tell.
Double Standard. Biden is immune while DJT is indicted 96 violations? for what?
Even if absolute immunity was a thing presidents were entitled to, Biden wouldn’t use it in an immoral way. Thats just not the kind of guy he is, which is 100% why he has my vote, again! 😊
We have no law anymore
Law for You
But not agent orange
True. Laws are made so that they can be selectively applied when needed. By the most part they are cast aside without any intention of enforcement.
That was obvios since the Clintons and now with Biden and his corruption even more.
True. Trump should have never been charged in the first place, in any of these cases.
@@high-_ fail. Try again.
Personally I don't care whether it's a Republican or Democrat and there's evidence of them doing crimes and they need to be prosecuted for the crimes they committed
I’m glad you are in favor of prosecuting Obama and Clinton for the high crimes they committed in their actions in Libya turning a once prosperous nation into a failed state with sex slavery. In hilldawgs admission “we came we saw he died”
Special Counsel just found that Joe mishandled documents, but there were no charges because he was senile and a Democrat
The rules have been superseded by partisan politics. The law only works selectively, usually for the party who controls the media. The government is professionally helpless until they have an individual to attack. They only deal in mobs when they are behind them.
Like Biden who sold out America to the China CCP and other countries.
Who Obama and Biden.. not Trump...
Correct Title: "Should Trump receive the same due process and rights as a normal citizen"
Correct title: Should we open up Pandora’s box to prosecute all former presidents? Obama, Bush, and Biden get in line…
@@jimmyhartmanbassif they committed a crime than yes. You seem a little emotional when it's your candidate. How fragile are you child??
Answer = yes, citizen Trump should be availed all due processes & rights afforded to all citizens facing criminal charges. The same applies to civil however, apparently it’s the incarceration factor that brings this before SCOTUS. IMO
@@rottdog7864 well yes, they clearly have. So every 4-8 years let’s lock up the last guy that was in office so we can be like Russia or Communist China. Real smart. Seems you only want it when it’s the Orange Man because “he’s bad”, as the TV told you.
If Trump doesn't get a fair trial the citizens will be f*****take a look at what they're doing to all of the government that's broke the law broke their constitutional oath look at Secretary of Homeland Big Time liar the border is safe he says, he says we are wrong we're supposed to listen to him, ft
Bush, Clinton's pelosi Obama's Chaney, Ratskin, all J6 committee, News outlets and anyone else had anything to do with high crimes and these past 8 years
Is the Washington post propaganda? Well duh haha
He’s below the law if you hadn’t noticed
The question should be: Are the supreme Court above the law. And, why does the US justice system suck so much?
George soros and other globalists installing puppet da’s, judges and attorneys for their world take over purposes.
Certainly Clarence Thomas decided years ago that he is above the law, the norms, and the ethics of the Supreme Court, possibly due to his ego being bolstered by being appointed to the court in spite of being unfit and unqualified to ever have been nominated to the Supreme Court in the first place, let alone sworn in. Maybe he has a chip on his shoulder because he will never be revered like Thurgood Marshall, and will only be remembered for being bought and for his arrogant refusal to recuse himself when he absolutely should have done so.
EXCATLY.
Not too bright are ya..
i have that answer. it is because the justice system has absolutely nothing to do with justice. it is an industry, it is a prison for profit system. the courts belong to corporate overlords/ lobbyist their only job is to protect our corrupt government while turning a profit by imprisoning millions of nonviolent citizens. if the courts cared anything for justice three quarters of congress would be in prison. when you have biden admitting and bragging on video about his quid pro quo in ukraine with impunity, and trump is proven innocent of the same crime yet he in impeached anyway . there is no justice system. democrats said they would impeach trump before he even took office them spent the next four years with fake litigation. there is no justice system.
He is not above the law you guys are sicko's.
He believes he is above the law and so does his cult.

Is a misdemeanor the same thing as a felony? 'Democracy' may not have died but my brain cells might have, listening to Bragg's reasoning.
If you commit a misdemeanor in furtherance of a felony some misdemeanors can be elevated to felonies... for example if you make fraudulent business records to cover up election crimes... the business record crime is a misdemeanor but since it's in furtherance of the felony election crime.... it can be elevated... hopefully that makes sense.
The Law only applies when the Law is after you. That’s what fascism means
Only 'red hats' are above the law: THAT is what FASCISM means...
@@greatboniwanker did trump attempt to jail his political enemies? Seems he should have. The law is supposed to be law for everyone. When you apply it selectively you’re a fascist. You’re welcome
The real estate charge the hush money charge, and the S civil suit were all cases that they literally had to reinterpret the law because no one has ever been charged with any of this before human history, if this was a Democrat, I’d be just as mad you all applaud this kangaroo court nonsense is disgusting
Also here is another question......Is Hillary Clinton above the law?

You didn’t know that coordinating fake electors with falsified documents to change the results of the election is a crime?
You didn’t know that instigating a riot to overturn an election was a crime?
You didn’t know that asking election officials to “find him” the votes he needed was a crime?
Most importantly… You didn’t know that asking for “immunity” is literally an admission of guilt?
When will you Trump cultists snap out of it?
Um,... there's plenty of actual charges. Something like 91 different ones, if I remember correctly. Also, there's no trials going on until charges have been made...unless it's a House impeachment process from the MAGAt faction, of course.
ANYONE CAN BE CHARGED BY ANYONE.WELCOME TO AMERICAN JUSTICE.CAN THEY PROVE IT,THATS THE THING CALLED PROOF.everybody knows bullshit 90 charges? What the f,,,,,,k he ate no one,hurt no one.laws over100 years to find things!TRUMP FOR SANITY.
What are you talking about ? How are you not aware of 88+ actual criminal charges ?
Mississippi v Johnson: "The Congress is the legislative department of the government; the President is the executive department. Neither can be restrained in its action by the judicial department; though the acts of both, when performed, are, in proper cases, subject to its cognizance. The impropriety of such interference will be clearly seen upon consideration of its possible consequences." SCOTUS has already recognized presidential immunity from prosecution for actions taken while in office, even if they're on the fringe of the duties of that office.
Accusations are free to make. Evidence and proof isn't. There is a significant lack of the latter for a reason.
You "journalists" are a joke.
Is Bidon above the law.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
gave statements
to investigators
TRUMP
pled the 5th over
500 times in
1 DEPOSITION
He never said he's above the law, but to invent new laws to prosecute him is wrong.
Who are you talking about. Trump is breaking all current laws. Laws that have been on the trial courts known to Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys for years. Nothing is new.
How obvious does election interference have to be!!!!
Total rubbish ... none of these are new laws. Chump is indicted under multiple existing laws that have been used many times to prosecute numerous other criminals. For example, hundreds of people have been indicted and convicted under the Espionage Act for theft of government and classified documents. Chump is a thief and a traitor and should be convicted just like any other thief of government and classified documents.
Same laws actually, no new ones being created in any of the 94 charges against him for political crimes and his sexual assault and deformation case he lost, and his NY case he also lost a month or so ago. What is happening now is the question of does the constitution give Trump immunity from prostitution, either partial or full, and for official acts or private ones. It appears the SCOTUS is leaning toward determining which acts/potential crimes Trump committed under each category. And most likely he will be charged for personal ones like illegally trying to overturn the election in a huge widespread Republican conspiracy, after the courts determined was free and fair..... because he wanted to stay in power. He illegally tried to overturn the will of the voters (in a democracy for his own personal gain. In summary he broke the laws of how and what a democracy is, the people decide who the president will be through the election process, and no one else. Otherwise why vote. As a matter of fact research shows that since 2012, 89 illegal immigrants tried to vote. But Trump is trying to desperately call the election stolen stated there were thousands and thousands. He even claimed poll workers were throwing votes away and scratching out trump votes. Well trash cans nor pens, or any items other than a beverage were allowed at those sites, as stated by many, both democratic and Republican. People need to pay attention and not make assumptions or put out disinformation like the crazy Taylor Swift ones. If you think about it, there is a reason Trump want to limit or get rid of agencies like the FBI.
Is Biden, Obama, both of the Clintons? Pence?

NO president has ever had Total presidential immunity! Dipsh*t
That’s the truth
if you believe the democrats.
The Supreme Court has a keen interest in protecting and persevering the Executive branch of government . You may be in for a surprise.
Only Taco Bill and Hillsie are above the law!!! 🤣
"Is Trump above the law?" should not have to even be asked. Nobody, that's no body is above the law.
Unless you name is Clinton! This is all a sham to stop a political opponent from running for office. At no other time in history has a man been under investigation for over eight years just because he wants to be President. And in eight years the ruling party still cannot make any charges stick including the crimes that they made up.
I agree with that, but, the way it seems, he is. SCOTUS seems to allow him to what ever he wants to do though.
@@tracybuhr9481 the Supreme Court only interprets the law they do not make it, if they are ruling for Trump it's because the laws are already on His side, just because left doesn't like the ruling doesn't mean it's wrong. Heck even the left leaning judges are ruling in his favor most of the time. Stop blaming the judges and blame the corrupt system doing everything they can get away with to keep him from possible office. The only thing they haven't tried is an unfortunate accident, sounds like a dictatorship to me
The title is as stupid as expected from this ridiculous network
How is it ridiculous? Trump is literally fighting on “presidential immunity”. That literally means he claims to be above the law for anything he did while he was president, and is currently claiming immunity. You Trump fans really are in a cult.
Lol - truthful headline "does Trump have the same rights as every single president before him" Washington trash
If President are above the law. As soon as they do Joe needs to call the seal team.
The headline is a sham. The question is President Trump allowed a unbiased report on what is being thrown at him. Just to be a regular snark I can't stand this women's voice. Yuk
Trump cultists thinking they are anything, but human excrement is a shame
🗣HE AIN'T PRESIDENT!!
🗣HE AIN'T PRESIDENT!!!!
Unbiased report? Trump is literally claiming he deserves immunity. This is literally an admission of guilt of a crime.
He’s not saying “I didn’t commit a crime”. He’s saying “I know I did something wrong but i should not be prosecuted because I was president”.
Do you not understand that?
Your comment is of no value. You're just parroting the far right party line.
BOTH parties are plagued with corruption - but the far right is subverting democracy and the American way of life in ways that you clearly do not understand.
These nutjobs want to force THEIR narrow, extreme ideology onto all of America. They want to take control over every aspect of American life and our finanacial system, and eliminate all differences and dissent.
Christian Nationalist leaders (including Trump, MTG, religious megastars, etc.) are openly promoting Nazism, fascism, and authoritarianism. They're reusing WORD FOR WORD the talking points of old fringe lunatics from the John Birch Society, American Bund and the Ku Klux Klan!!! Singing the virtues of Hitler as a "very effective leader" and "what if a good guy had all that power?"
I'm no fan of Biden or Clinton, but MAGA fanatics have swallowed an evil lie - hook, line and sinker. It's tragic for them, but what's worse, it's an existential threat to American democracy itself.
No one is above the law and Trump is not
You serious bro?
*Democrats are*
Just the democrats and their families I see.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!! Not even the Supreme Court!!
What Law If We Had Any It Would Be EQUAL We Are At A Total Imbalance
Yes and he is going to be the next president
This is the quality of reporting at what once was a great newspaper. Not even a rudimentary understanding of the constitutional issue and transparently biased commentary.
Golly. In today’s WaPo edition of “We Will Tell You What To think…”
Why are Congressmen, judges, prosecutors and even police granted immunity but not the President?
The president has immunity when doing official acts, just like others you mentioned. Preventing the certification of the election wasn't part of his job as president.
Nobody should be granted immunity, especially not a prez. When a prez has immunity you have a dictator not a prez.
Absolute immunity for farting in court.
This does not take into account the whole picture. Your question especially
Any rich and wealthy person is 100% above the law in greedy America.
.ANY!
He's not above the law guys, it's just that no one found him guilty of anything.
At this point, the question is will the presumptive laws be equally applied to both sides? GOD NO!
The question is "Does the President of the US have executive priviledge?". I think he does. Not just Trump, but all. This is why no President has ever been charged.
It's not "Above the Law". There are positions of trust in society that require elements of power.
The President has a pardon power to be able to intercept injustice. He is the position of the implementation of the Executive Power as specified by the Constitution, and delegates that power to those in his administration, and some of those positions of trust require Advise and Consent of the Senate. To operate he must have Qualified Immunity for the same reason why Police have that, he must be able to make decisions without those decisions to be met with Civil and Criminal charges, and that is the crux of this. The founders made it clear that the Judiciary was the weakest of the branches because it requires the Executive to implement it's decisions. Is there anybody who has any logic left to figure out the ramifications of all of these CONSTITUTIONAL FACTS?
A position of ultimate power requires a counterbalance to that power, and that counterbalance is the imposition of Impeachment and Conviction by the Senate.
The balance that the Founders put in place was very specific, and we have balled that balance up by making the Senate political representatives of The People instead of the State Legislatures by the gigantic mistake of the 17th Amendment. That was an imbalance em-placed by those who consider Democracy to be a be-all and End-all. It is actually two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. That is why as Franklin said "A Republic, if you can keep it." We now have redundant houses of congress where un-diluted politics causes a major imbalance in the implementation of the Republic.
As usual, there is no complicated issue that cannot be over-simplified by low IQ journalists into propaganda clauses. As is here. It's almost as if the two wolves consider themselves entitled to lamb stew...
Trump is a former president not current. So he cannot claim immunity.
I like the built in bias with this title 🤡
Is the law above the law.

Why the position you are not immune for telling a lie immunity only has a back if there is a cure this new disease without a cure
Does the president of the United States have presidential immunity? Yes, every president does. He can’t do his job without that benefit. It doesn’t mean he’s “above the law”
No one in the history of the USA has EVER claimed that a president needs to commit crimes as part of their job, except Trump.
How can you even claim that breaking the law is part of a president’s job, with a straight face?
"Nixon completely understood that presidents could in fact be prosecuted for official acts during their time in office." This is wrong. Nixon famously said: "Well, when the president does it … that means that it is not illegal.." Beyond that, this isn't an argument about being above the law it is about proper procedure. Proper procedure for a president (and other high officials like SCOTUS, Senators etc) is IMPEACHMENT. Impeachment with conviction removes title, seat and all immunity. If not for that process, we will see what is happening to Trump happen to all political enemies of the establishment. Trials based on anything and everything to harm the person politically and financially. This isn't the American way, this is the way of fascist countries where the state holds the power and not the people.

And you think Joe Biden is not guilty of this same thing?
Yes he is immune, how else was he supposed to run the country???
No crime was committed. One can ask for an investigation into whether an election was done properly or not. The very fact that they are responding to this in this manner says much to the general knowledge of YES IT WAS INTERFERED WITH. IT WAS TAMPERED WITH. The fact that not one Democrat has raised a question to 2020's validity states much to the unionization of that party. Or maybe there was just one, either way, an investigation should be mandatory in instances such as these. I don't see how just ONE party, primarily, is in control of the process. This whole situation is designed to be a disaster. Let us simplify our code and decriminalize classifications.
A columnist and jr columnist. Wth am I even listening to a show about baking powder in a cake?
WaPo being the voice of the CIA is one of the most enduring American traditions.
Once Trump left office at twelve o'clock noon,he became a private citizen with no immunity. In this case he committed a felony by taking classified documents at his departure and claiming immunity which won't hold water.
Same thing for Joe! Docs in Garage after VP.
@@kathylong2513it was actually the retention of documents that got Trump. Had he done like Pence and Biden and searched and returned what was found Trump wouldn't have been in trouble. He refused for over a year to return documents, some that needed to be in a SCIF.
@@kathylong2513 but that has been dismissed, nothing to implicate him in a prosecution. As being president,he is immune to prosecution whether civil or Federal,but Donald J. Trump,since he left office he took boxes of classification documents which rightfully belongs to the American people.
So Biden gets prosecuted then too when he leaves office, right? RIGHT??
@@hopenavajo1391 "but Donald J. Trump,since he left office he took boxes of classification documents which rightfully belongs to the American people." Bulls*t lies. How could Trump have taken any documents AFTER he left office?? He literally took documents like EVERY other President has done, including your Holy Sainted Obama. He also officially declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents, so those would NOT be part of this in any case.
The better question, is Joe Biden above the law?😮
Yes, being demented gets him a pass on the documents he knowingly stole & improperly stored/shared

@@babymuffin3233 make America great again!
@@robertgraves580 yes agreed! Without trump! 🇺🇸
I think that there will be problems if they discriminate against you that blatantly!
What I really like about this podcast is hearing two different rational perspectives that are not extreme polarizations. Often it is hearing just one side, or the polarization arguments are two different realities where nothing intersects.
America needs Trump back immediately to secure our borders.
KkKennedyyy said he will close the borders immediately! He will also turn around our chronic disease epidemic. He also verbalized "I will NOT take your guns". He's the real deal folks. Please vote for the man🙏❤

😊Is an adult who throws tantrums like a baby's immune from adult crimes he commits (crimes that are crimes for all other adults under the law)?
Please rewrite, this makes no sense ^^^
What?
Presidential immunity is part of law. Now, "official duties", meaning acts in pursuance of government duties, should be immune from criminal prosecutions. First, because anyone with some intelligence must know that Presidents do things that are immoral, if not illegal, should they be done by ordinary citizens. Those are up to Congress to deal with through impeachment. If they don't impeach or impeachment fails. The majority in Congress agrees with the action even if illegal. Outside of "official duties" it's fair game. The decision of "official duties" will fall to the trial judge. And, as mentioned in this podcast, it would end up being appealed up the line. And I'm leaving out the issue of whether the administration believed it was engaged in "official duties" which goes to mens rhea.
