Today's oral arguments on presidential immunity are making my blood pressure rise. Appears I'm not the only one either. Elie Mystal and many others are smoking from the ears. So far all I can glean is that SCOTUS conservatives are leaning towards immunity.

Alito just disparaged every reason for laws in this country, to deter crime by discouraging would-be criminals with threat of legal punishment. What in blazes is he doing on the SCOTUS!!???

"Justice Alito suggests that, if former presidents are subject to prosecution after leaving office, they'll be more likely to seek to unlawfully remain in office after they were defeated for re-election/their term has ended.
JFC."

That's why I think of it as trolling.

👩🏼⚖️ WOW: This banger by Sotomayor: "There is no failsafe system of government, meaning, we have a judicial system that has layers and layers of protection for the accused in the hopes that the innocent will go free. We fail. Routinely. But we succeed more often than not.

Chief Justice Roberts, now actively advocating for delay of a straightforward case on the limits of presidential immunity, is nothing more than a partisan hack.
I am so angry at James Comey and the progressives who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for HRC. You threw this country to wolves.

Donald Trump’s lawyer just told the United States Supreme Court that it’d be ok for Trump to have his political opponents assassinated.
I’d strongly recommend Americans do everything they can to prevent Donald Trump from getting back into power.

"The game here is DELAY, to send the case back to the lower court to decide which acts are official and which are not. That way, the immunity questions will take up all the time before the election. SCOTUS would demean itself to further this ploy."

Nat'l Enquirer's former publisher testifies he advised Cohen & Trump to buy Stormy's story, partly because the Enquirer didn't want to lose its place on Walmart newsstands with a porn star story.

I would like the states attorney to put this hypothetical to the court:
A president walks into court and shoots Clarence Thomas. Is he immune from prosecution?

Today SCOTUS will hear 45’s appeal for presidential immunity.
If denied, Don Snorleone gets to face consequences.
If granted, King Brandon can send every Trump and his conservative justices directly to Guantanamo, without passing Go and collecting $200 .
Either result is a win for Biden.

What Does David Pecker Know About Trump?
Trump was out in NY, in front of the cameras this morning. He was asked about David Pecker and replied after some initial evasion: "David's very nice. He's a nice guy."
My money is on rape of a minor(s), and payoff(s) for silence.
