While I don't think the President should be allowed COMPLETE immunity, I don't think he should be allowed to endure the ridiculous charges these DEMOCRAT lawyers and district attorneys have brought against President Donald Trump! And they ALL do seem to be DEMOCRAT which brings to mind "Political Weaponry". We all know that's TRUE!
Prove me wrong!!!
'Surprising' and 'disturbing': Legal experts react to SCOTUS on Trump immunity case 11hrs ago ABC News
But last week, in nearly three hours of oral arguments, several Supreme Court justices seemed open to some limited protection for former presidents from criminal liability for official acts they undertook while in the White House.
It was a shocking turn of events, according to some veteran court observers.
"It was surprising to hear, at least from some of the justices, the possibility that a president could somehow commit criminal misconduct for which they could never be held liable in court," Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional expert at the University of North Carolina, told ABC News. "I think that has struck many people as just, up until now, inconceivable."
"That's exactly the part that I think most of the American public is going to find fairly incredulous," said David Schultz, a professor at the University of Minnesota and national expert in constitutional law. "The idea of saying that the president of the United States is above the law compared to the rest of us."
While the justices seemed poised to reject Trump's more sweeping claim of "absolute" immunity, how they attempt to devise what official acts are and are not exempt from criminal prosecution will set a new standard for presidential power.
"That is a whole new territory for the court that we've never seen before," Schultz said, "and will make major new law in the United States."
