Here's a redder flag: We can't have 3 coequal branches of government if the president is above the law! If the justices just focus on that undeniable fact, this whole thing could be done in 1 minute.
-
It shouldn't just be Justice Jackson being highly concerned with a President having total immunity, it should be the entire Supreme Court 😮
-
How crazy is it that the Supreme Court is even having to discuss this!
-
Friggin nuts that the other SCOTUS judges are actually debating this. Absolutely mind blowing.
-
The fact that this topic is actually being debated in the highest court in the land is an affront to the constitution and to the people of the United States.
-
He's not arguing, "I didn't do it." He's arguing, "I should have permission to do it."
-
if this were a normal SCOTUS court, this court would not even be heard, it's too ridiculous! But again, this is not a normal court, nor are these normal times.
-
ALL AMERICANS WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING HERE. THE FACT THAT SCOTUS IS EVEN HEARING THIS CASE IS A LEVEL OF CHICANERY THAT THE JUDICIAL BRANCH HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
-
The President of "Law and Order" doesn't want the law to apply to him. Interesting.
-
Judge Jackson was basically saying: "Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
-
As a European, I can only shake my head at what is being said here. Donald wants to preserve the rights of Putler, Kim and Xi - but if possible only Donald and no other person... Lock him up - Sauer and Co too.
-
Again, I am a 70 year old white woman...and I am SO proud of the black folks who are thinking and speaking up for honesty...
-
How is Clarence Thomas even still a judge? That sleaze has been clouded in controversy since my high school days and I'm pushing 50.
-
Hey, Trump campaigned hard in 2016, shouting "Nobody is above the law, NOBODY!" Why aren't all the videos of this being played to SCOTUS?
-
I love thinking how Justice Jackson's opinion will be read in the Supreme Court Reporter by young people in the future. She got it all in there.
-
How can a court be split over immunity? He's not immune!! Video doesn't lie!!!
-
It is a pathetic waste of time and intelligence that we are even having such a ridiculous conversation. This whole mess makes me ashamed and embarrassed to be an American.
-
If you don't commit any crimes why do you need immunity?
-
Thank You JUSTICE JACKSON.. YOU ARE SO , SO CORRECT !!!!
-
She is spot on!! No one else has presented it that way or said that. What she said is the bottom line..period! That should be a yes or no answer…not all the long drawn out exceptions Sauer talks about.
