#SupremeCourt #Trump #Immunity
If this takes more than five minutes then something is seriously wrong with the Supreme Court.
There are 9 judges, each with deeply profound questions to ask, so I’ll give it 9 minutes and then 8 months to deliberate at which time it will be Christmas break.
The fact they took this on didn’t tell you that?
We already know there's a lot wrong with the current SCOTUS. Clarence and Samuel are outright political arms of the GOP crime family.

There IS something wrong with this Court. It is corrupt.

SCOTUS had better do the right thing. I'm not very confident. NO ONE should have absolute immunity -- ESPECIALLY a President!!!

The Immunity clause is Not "Absolute", you need to read it and educate yourself.

Just like the Biden's and their shady "Business" deals. Still dont know what the business is that they made MILLIONS from.

This is such BS, how the Supreme Court could even listen to this immunity crap.

@@speakeasy911 5 of them definitely are
They should have thrown the case. No discussion.
The question is why are they even taking this case.. period! Please show the people of U.S. just how corupt this court can be.
Democrats have made the system corrupt and weaponized it against the People and their political rivals.
It’s evident they’re corrupt, the bigger question is what can be done about it
Because it shows the principals of the presidency! 😂
They are taking it because they took the Fourteenth Amendment disqualification case. They decided that case in Trump's favor, and they will decide against him in this case. They believe they will therefore demonstrate how evenhanded and impartial they are.
You stole an election in 2020. Corruption is everywhere

I’ve learned that Democrats are secretly guilty of what they are accusing their opposition!!!
Nothing that comes out of the left is the truth…
The members of the Supreme Court whom chose to delay this case to benefit Trump should be criminally charged as coconspirators. Justice Cannon down in Florida too.
Because they owe him for putting on the court I told they not they are poeple are brought and paid for at the highest price they don't know nothing about law and order in this country because they are for Rich people because they are Rich people they are in the same club I'm 67 years old and I so tried these judges break there own law that country made my opinion
THEIR IS NO IMMUNITY FOR TREASON
Still no conviction of Treason, or proof.
He's a criminal lock him up
Democrats have developed an involuntary response mechanism, sort of like breathing while sleeping.
They tend to blurt out some of their 8 or so "key" words when triggered. They just sort of roll the dice in their head and whatever they land get blurted out sub-consciously.
What Trump did and is still doing is treason
Biden the one should be charged with Treason!
In ANY other court the answer would be a no brainer BUT this court i am not to sure

@@user-dc5hf6em2s No.
The justice department policy of not bringing charges against a sitting president is about as clear as "above the law" gets.
But that's justice department policy. Not part of the constitution, or any law to the best of my knowledge (if I'm mistaken, kindly correct me.)
I'm still scratching my head as to why the Supreme Court is treating that policy as if it's law.

Totally out to lunch. Criminals do not have immunity!!!!
There is something very wrong indeed if a president actually NEEDS immunity from commiting crimes. No one ever is above the law.
No one should need to be absolutely above the Law.
Why didn't the Supreme Court argue this in December? Because tRump wanted to delay the trial.
The president should spend more time not breaking the law or not trying to break the law or not looking for loopholes in the law. It’s ridiculous that the supreme courts took this case in the first place.
They want to delay for Trump hope he's reelected, THAT'S IT. They will push it back to Chutkan to do more outer Official Duties to delay.
Not sure why SCOTUS is listening to this BS other than helping trump out. SMGDH
A central point in the Declaration of Independence is rulers derive their authority from the people and not from God, and governments “derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” This bold statement was an explicit, and clearly understood, rejection of Divine Right and the right of the King of Great Britain to rule over the colonies. This was also one of the reasons why God is not mentioned in the Constitution and we were never to have a king (and his attendant Divine Right) under the laws of our new government.
Reminder: This was never even a problem to be considered before Trump came along.
I can't even beleive this is even a freaking thing. But on the other side, if they do the right thing it's over. Hearing done forever. No going back no redoing.
Do you think we can keep all of these indictments on hold until November?
If he is imune than hit squad can lock n load right?
This is ridiculously stupid!!!
This is insane! That this is even happening! What a sad joke!
*Give a president absolute immunity, and you won't have a president but a dictator.*
If Presidents don't have immunity they can't do their job.
Like every other president?😂😂
Does Trump think he'll survive 2024 election if there is absolute immunity?
We had this for years.............
Trump’s term was much much much better than Biden’s. Trump 2024, because we’ve had enough of Dementia Joe.
Do we expect the Supreme Court to make the right decision? I'm not holding my breath!
No One Should Ever Be Above the Law, especially in America the so called’ land of the free’
If the SCOTUS finds a president is immune from prosecution i hope Biden takes full advantage of it😂😂
The incorrect assumption is that ALL the “conservative” justices don’t want authoritarian rule.
Heard snippets this morning: very difficult to listen to the Trump shyster lawyer : hes crapping on the Constitution
These justices are completely wiggy & vile at best.
Let us see whether the judges will render their judgment in accordance with the laws of the land or the expediency of politics.
The fact that this even needs to be debated by the highest court in the land is ridiculous, and an embarrassment. Ffs. It's either 'NO,' no one is above the law... or 'yes,' and set the precedent that one man in one position can violate laws and can even rig elections, remove political rivals, and set themselves up to become a dictator. Where would it end?!! Idiocy.
If SCOTUS comes out with total immunity for Trump, we the people can elect congressman in Senate and the House that would be able to expell these same Supreme Court justices. Vote Blue down ballot.
SCOTUS better do the right thing.
No criminal is above the law.
I listened to a good bit of it. I thought the best question to counsel came from Justice Jackson to Trump's lawyer. To paraphrase
'There has been a lot of discussion about the need for some kind of immunity for official presidential acts as opposed to private acts. Wouldn't immunity against prosecution of presidential conduct, even for official acts, potentially turn the most powerful office in the world into' a seat of criminal activity'?
She discussed how the president consults with the best lawyers on every decision and how EVERYONE ELSE in government is subject to criminal prosecution for their official acts, I thought her comments and questions were solid and to the point.
What a joke this Supreme Court justices are
It's time we the people hold the Supreme Court accountable for their ethics violations and their betrayal to the American people
As an IT professionnal, I had my share of useless meetings. I can't grasp, how on earth, someone could make happen a meeting where people with the highest payroll to meet and discuss IF a president is above the law and has immunity. To say that that it is stupid, is beyond words. How on earth is the US supreme court could take only a second to deal with this nonsense ?
The judicial branch applies to everyone equally. Civil cases are better than criminal cases.
Let's be crystal clear about this case. This is not to determine if presidents do or do not have immunity. It's enshrined in the Constitution. This case is simply to determine if the cases against Trump were in his capacity as candidate or president. That's it. And based on the evidence, all the cases brought against Trump were about when he was a candidate. None of his crimes fall under presidential duties so there's really no case. It should've been thrown out by now but of course, since it's the highly partisan SC that's not the case.
it`s another delay tactic
The duties of the presidency do not include ignoring everybody who tells you that you lost an election.
Donald Trump‘s stacked Supreme Court? Great! They should recuse themselves immediately!
Why is Thomas being allowed to sit-in on this case boggles the mind.
There is no outside immunity its à crazy thought.
Let's see what disgusting move SCOTUS pulls this time...
No one is above the law .you break it and get caught no matter who you are You hope when you elect someoon to lead the country you hope they live according to the laws of the country They do take a oath If broken they era relpronsable for thier action just like the rest of us
SAME
The Supreme Court should have rejected tRump's request to consider this.
If Don gets his way, Has anybody asked Joe what he is going to do with his immunity? He's got a few months to get seal team 6 together.
"Justice delayed is justice denied".
JAIL for TRUMP
You get a fine at best
Are they SURE they don't need a couple more months to get ready?
Conflating civil and criminal law in the main question read by the hosts. Not debunked by guests.

I listened to some of the proceedings today and it sure appears to me that the conservative justices aka rightwing trump supporters are going to grant him full immunity. Sickening and frightening.
alito is trying real hard to save trump’s skin in the hearing… … …. recognizing that it is more important to let a former fill his time the way he wants (campaign) than to seek an answer to his pasr conduct’s legality…. .. jeez … he does not hide his toughts
Show MAGA the door in 2024.
Keep democracy alive in 2025. 🌊🌊💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
Is anyone else feeling that the SC is becoming like scabs
They see he can lose in Ga, so the ones he put as a judge, he will be calling in a favor
The GA case is very close to being thrown out..in it's entirety including *ALL INVOLVED*. When this happens..The GA BOARD OF PROVESSIONAL REVEIW , will be starting a *FULL INVESTIGATION*
Hadn't msLSD mentioned..🍿🇺🇸
Only a criminal would ask for immunity, so will the Maga Supreme Court give the criminal immunity?
What a hard decision 😢😢
I am sorry, Americans, but your legal system sucks.
How many times did he ask and receive legal advice from his Attorney General?? That testimony needs to heard!!
What was the advice that William Barr gave to President Trump? Did he take any notes or recordings? Were there witnesses during their discussions/meetings??
The supreme Court better to do the right thing, no one is above the law in our country,, Especially leadership that represent the American people,, and the United States,,🇺🇸
Immunity for crimes committed shouldn't be given to anyone.
No one is above the law.
*"CRIMES"* 🍿😂😅😂😅🤣
Thomas and Alito will be the only ones that will say he is
Cases are beginning to over lap a little... bummer captain clementine isnt forced to attend all cases without consequence.
Your organization, and the whole political system is one big circus of fools
No not Supreme Court, purched court!
Only dictatorial/communist/socialist states have total immunity for the presidency. Lock him up!!!
SCOTFS - Supreme Court of the federalist society. Follow the money.
Does America know it doesn't have a royal system?
We already know what's going to happen. Why even bother....
The way Trump is allowed to play the system is truly sickening. This nonsense shouldn't even be considered by SCOTUS. Instead we're actually wondering what that bunch of clowns will decide.
President Gerald Ford also famously pardoned former President Richard Nixon for Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate scandal. Neither Ford’s decision to issue such a pardon, nor Nixon’s decision to accept it, would make any sense if Nixon were immune from prosecution.
Exactly.
Presidential immunity only apply to matters of the state and not his own self interests. Especially one with an intent to commit crimes. Trump should not be shielded by immunity from prosecution. As simple as that. Don't complicate matters. Get him good.
It’s like we the people have to wait all day outside the principal’s office, wondering how bad our punishment will be.
Great photos of the Dump in court. By the look of him, he’s really enjoying the experience, but this is what he wanted. Enjoy Donnie!
Self interest would preclude privilege from voting against privilege
The executive branch is only one of three branches of our govt- this immunity madness is exactly why the Fathers made the branches equitable
The obvious issue is not whether one party can acuse another and place opposing candidates in jail...! The issue before the court ahould be solely on laws being broken. Did someone do nothing for over three hours while the capitol was being attacted resulting in death and distruction? Did that someone suggest that metal detecters be removed because they were not threating himself? The SCOTUS should rightfully decide in a case by case situation, not whether one party is attacing another party - but whether a person or parties has conspired, directed and was complicent in a violent action. In the future SCOTUS may again decide on an issue. This is a slam dunk conspiracy to subvert, as 62 lawsuits agreed, was a fair election. This obviousness of the former president accusing the rigging of elections goes back to 2012. This recent history lesson has eluded the Supreme Court...
they will decide if the earliest settlers and nations founders were right or wrong regarding their disdain for kings
RIDICULOUS --- SHAME on them for even taking up this case/running out the clock. SHAMEFUL. INVEstigate Thomas Kavabeer et al. DISGUSTING and shameful.
I feel sick.
Write your Senator and ask for action on increasing the Supreme Court to redress the imbalance imposed by Mitch McConnell.
I want a president who doesn’t have to paint his face
If the Supreme Court sides with Trump on the subject of immunity then they have to also rule on who's responsible for the damage done to the victim(s) of his crimes..Who does the victim(s) hold responsible, the President , the Government or the Supreme Court?
