Being above the law is the power of a king or other type of dictator, and should not belong to a president. Anyone who wants to be above the law wants to be a king or dictator, and that should disqualify them for the presidency (or for any government office). That's just how it would be if I had my way.
If the supreme court wants to discuss, I think they should be asking for a serious list of crimes he thinks he should need to commit. If they are going to consider allowing him to commit murder as was his prior example, then we the people need to go make an opening statement I guess.

2:29 the purpose of checks and balances is to put either branch of the united states government in check when the executive branch violates the construction or statute, or congress as well as the supreme court, then the responsibility of one of the other branches is to hold the offending branch liable for its actions

I’m so sick of him and his BS. The SCOTUS should make this decision and do it correctly. A criminal should NEVER be on the ballot.
Too late for that. They have already cuddled up to Trump's immunity claim. They are his enablers.
Let me give you my answer that's short and sweet, "'No One is Above the Law,' and if they are, then that should change ASAP!"
What an absurd idea!
People must vote blue. 💙
Thank you! This is marvelous!
Being above the law is the power of a king or other type of dictator, and should not belong to a president. Anyone who wants to be above the law wants to be a king or dictator, and that should disqualify them for the presidency (or for any government office). That's just how it would be if I had my way.
Out with the Supreme court! Cant trust them!!!!! 😪 very sad
YALL BETTER GET OUT AND VOTE 🗳️
Thank You !
No one is above the law!
You're right......Lock Her Up....!!!!!!
Hunter. Joe. Nancy. Gavin. Bob Menendez. There’s plenty more.
@@KevinThomas-ok2evdeflecting again I see
No deflection, just naming some well-known criminals currently on the loose. Suck it up. You voted for this fool.
Everything is possible to a corrupt court.
If the supreme court wants to discuss, I think they should be asking for a serious list of crimes he thinks he should need to commit. If they are going to consider allowing him to commit murder as was his prior example, then we the people need to go make an opening statement I guess.
Because the supreme court with the corrupt, the bigot, the rapist rules over real jurists and innovate by saying that women's body is the property of the government... Real republicans...
The Supreme Court has already ruled that the president is above civil law (they did it under Nixon)
What?
Great opener for the next maga rally. Thanks for all you do Mr. Reich!
{Sarcasm Warning} That would be Logical and reasonable.
Very important and thank you for hosting!
Having a criminal president for a criminal country seems appropriate.
I guess we’re in luck, we have one right now.
@@KevinThomas-ok2evyet u can't list anything to back up your claim
@@jtmindc Unauthorized taking and possession of classified documents, both as a senator and VP, blatant influence peddling, corruption via the use of his brother and son, and outright bribery if that connection can be made, which I suspect it eventually will. Whether he’s actually convicted of these crimes or not, I can assure you, history will be unmercifully brutal to him.
2:29 the purpose of checks and balances is to put either branch of the united states government in check when the executive branch violates the construction or statute, or congress as well as the supreme court, then the responsibility of one of the other branches is to hold the offending branch liable for its actions
Just gonna keep saying this: if presidents have full immunity, even to do the thing shown on screen at 0:18, Biden could really save us all a lot of trouble...
Spot On
If SCOTOS finds in favor of Presidential immunity , we are screwed.
That there is a question beyond belief !
ABSOLUTELY NOT
King, he thinks he is a king. Will he ever pay a serious price?
Lemming king. Phu king moron
Hail king Trump 😂
Yes. Millions. And he'll pay millions more too while he keeps losing case after case.
@@yourdaddy-mq4km Now you're just making a fool of yourself Zachoff.
If convicted he must be precluded from running or holding office. Convict first.
Correction: Trump doesn't think "Presidents" are immune, he thinks "Trump" is immune.
It similar to a court case in Malaysia, when we put a corrupted Prime minister after the Election and he used all the loophole to get out jail card
Wake up Donnie, you're going to prison!! 😱🤣
Excellent.
If you want the job of president, you must abide by the rules. Welcome to America!
Joe doesn't seem to care about the rules, where is his indictment?
@@yourdaddy-mq4kmwhining again?
@@yourdaddy-mq4km Cry baby Zachoff. wawawa
Supreme Court needs to act now
if the government does not work for the people then we need a new government, and who do they work for? (rhetorical question)
If needed let's convict him now and punish him don't fool around anymore 😢😮
"If the President does something, it is not illegal"
Guess history really does repeat itself.
It didn't take 30 years with Nixon dead before half of the US voters didn't remember how bad that goes, and how fast...
That sounds very much like a dictatorship to me.
Trump doesn't like living in a place called reality, and his denial of reality is slowly consuming his mind into an oblivion of madness
Noooooo!!
Putin is his idol. Send Don the Con to Jail 2024!!!
Putin and Trump are your boogie man 😂

@@WestShoreMan 😂 you've literally bought into the military industrial complex narrative.
oh man, if the supreme court rules trump is with total immunity, Joe Biden should just GO TO TOWN on this new totally immunity thing!😎
They are going to wait till Biden is out of office to do that though. So when they do rule in Trump's favor, Biden won't be able to take advantage of it even if he wants to.
Why is it that any judge at any level should be allowed to rule on cases involving him. That just reeks of conflicted interests
well our corrupt court system proves he is above the law
No
