‘The constitution doesn’t even mention immunity’: Judge Luttig reacts to Trump Immunity claim 

The United States government has turned MAGA we are doomed 😮

Their positions are theirs only for good behavior. Read Article III.

please indicate where he was charged for 'insurrection' and proven guilty? I've seen more damage at a frat party. Speaking of which, what's going on at the universities at the moment? Building walls and such. Interesting times!

@@paramaniacwolverine843 YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY A LIAR.

It's all a part of the slow motion coup. All of that from 2020 is still underway.

he's the og of anti-abortion judges.

@@nonya.bizness All I can say to that is nobody’s perfect. I would feel better all the same if his assessment of Trump’s claim was the Court’s final decision in this case.

If enough vote blue he may be put in after next election.Three dem. judges need to be installed so that scotus works again.Or two and impeach Thomas.

@@normthompson923 He's 70 years old now - any new appointments need to be much younger, or the SC could end up with another Republican stooge.

listen also to george conway's take, he has somewhat a different take.. after listening to the hearing i understand now why there is a need for this.. 3 equal branches of government.. i realized the scotus is actually following due process..

why

Agreed she is staying the straight up obviousness of how stupid their argument is

But she doesn't call her colleagues out on their BS. She is just as bad..

@@mvp1116 Unfortunately, she can't be at war with her peers whom she may have to work with for 20+ years barring the unforeseen. There is a way to engage in intellectual warfare with calling people out directly. She did that.

@@mvp1116 You really don't think that her questions qualify as calling them out by pointing out the obvious that they all should already have in mind?? Interesting... I thought she did exactly that without being blunt about it.

Common sense which many (some on SCOTUS) lack.

Not quite, but keep saying this because it's cute!

And also claiming that the current president who trump claims is crooked, would get off scott free.

There is no inconsistency in that. Immunity is a defense to prosecution. It is in no way an admission of guilt.

Thank you to Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg

but trump wants to

President Truman didn't shirk from his responsibility as President. He had a motto on his desk that said 'the buck stops here'.

Unless you are a cop

Excellent point!

"The law" as you refer to it, is created by Congress, which means that under this theory, they could revoke every single authority and duty of the President regardless of what the Constitution says. The next time the president and Congress are controlled by the same party, at the end of his term, the next president can be castrated and made to serve solely at the discretion of the party in control of Congress. You _really_ want to be careful what you wish for. Since Biden has ordered those who exercise his authority to ignore and wilfully violate the law, and dismantled the tools that proved successful at enforcing the law, there is a whole lot of room to prosecute him for his absolute disregard for enforcing immigration laws among others. You can not simultaneously argue that Mayorkas is just following orders, so shouldn't face any penalties _and_ that the man who gave those orders can't be, either. You can not simultaneously argue that Trump has no immunity, but Biden does. You have no right to complain if the principles you try to put in place for your enemy are used against your ally. If the government is weaponized against Trump, it will most assuredly be weaponized against "your guy" in the not too distant future. The Democrats in congress have pulled the "nuclear option" and had it used against them the next term enough times to prove that once you pull a weapon, the same becomes available to your opponent.

Fool

The problem with this is that you're going by the media's propaganda version of what immunity means in this case, not what is actually going on.

Yeah but here's the thing, you've never won a thing in your life. We see you

Imagine he is making a joke point. It is a good one. Point is this is all BS. There is no immunity.

@@tlee4218 If there isn't, then dont be angry when pretty much all living former presidents are jailed.

Something to think about....

Quid pro quo, imo. Ford was a reliable GOP hack throughout his career. But your point is well taken. Sans pardon, Nixon was certain to be prosecuted.

The same reason Nixon accepted that pardon (which is an admission of guilt). Nixon KNEW he'd be charged AND convicted.

@@eatmorenachos which according to Trump's legal team isn't possible , coz Nixon also wasn't impeached .

Great question

We didn’t ask. They took it up. After the 3rd Circuit decision. Which is solid. Shame shame shame on this Court!

@Avalon, O, yes. And the SC judges will personally carry Trump into the White House, and make sure that the freezers are crammed with the most unhealthy food. As per Emperor's decree.

yep 🙄🤦

@@Nothingbutlovehere369 and now it's likely to go back to the lower court for clarification. This is liek bringing your mother a dead bird and she has no idea what it is, so she tells you to go show your grade school teacher in the morning- maybe she knows. Ridiculous!

@@eclipsehorse8693 But it may be that the lower courts in this case have more sense. In these days of uncertainty who knows? To those of us claiming common sense, this case should have never been heard . Have a great day.

Assassinating a US citizen is an unlawful act. But Obama did exactly that using a drone strike. When will he be prosecuted?

I guess police officers are committing the crime of kidnapping when arresting someone.

Oh, you're using logic and textual meaning! That's not how this court works.

You are right. The insanity of this argument is glaring at us.

We get the "special" Court.

Outstanding comment.

Except for Justice Jackson

In effect the Court's "conservatives" (they're actually right-wing radicals) are saying the POTUS can just ignore the courts.

Yup, if he is re-elected by some dark miracle then SCOTUS will be the first to go.

Good point. If SC gives Trump immunity, Biden should replace the entire Supreme Court

he's the og anti-abortion judge.

Can't be worse than the Trump appointees

@@jimreily7538 we deserve scotus justices that are excellent, not people that are least worse.

They are there to protect Republicans from the constitution

Real "originalists" want to write the constitution as if it never existed (hypothetically speaking, that is).

isnt asking for it

Yes but like so many his faith in the system has kept him and many others from seeing what was happening not just in the dark but in broad daylight for decades. Finally I saw something about trying to impeach 1 of the justices. Talk about a group of people who have been treated like they are above the law. There were red flags on many of the justices that got appointed. If we loose our democracy it has been a group effort. And one of the key reasons is GOP appointed judges

It is over! This court is corrupt. Most appointed by McConnell who as the senate leader also refused to impeach Trump twice!!

@alandonly, "SCOTUS, tame this man or he will DEVOUR you!" Jabba the Orange Hut already did.

SCOTUS tames this man? How would that be possible? 6 of them are puppets and he's their puppeteer!

Yup, a dictator has zero use for a Supreme Court.

I sure as 💩didn’t!! My republican mother in law and husband both voted for Hillary so they didn’t….

If they give Trump immunity, they give Biden immunity. They can wait until after the election, but Trump can't win.

Well Donald Trump or Damian Thorn whichever you prefer to call him it's not a coincidence same initials and number of letters because they are one and the same so yeah it's over

No, we can elect a congress that will impeach each of the Supreme Court justices that vote that Trump has immunity.

Drama queen much?

Right. Maybe 2 years, maybe 20, but it’d be over. Other countries would lose faith, our stabilising force would evaporate, we’d lose the confidence of our allies, and sorry kids, history repeats on a grander scale. End of the world as we know it (and I don’t feel fine).

When will the senate act?

TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY.. LOVE YOUR COMMENT ❤

FANTASTIC, and TRUE comment. EXACTLY

waiting for the cultist to jump on this and talk about how bad JB is running everything. If you don't want trump remember how to vote, because he will get all his cultist to vote for him.

You Nailed it!!! Too!!!

Really , they need to keep up ! Thanks .

Depends on the vacation packages, they got.

This question is a rhetoric oxymoron.

God help us if democracy doesn't prevail

they better or they should be charged with failing to do their job because of their biased actions because trump chose them to be on the bench for his benefit, which trump even said is why he put them there, they owe him BS

A few on the S. Ct. are corruption themselves. Corruption always protects corruption.

They are so full of themselves. They think, not only are they above the law, they ARE the law.

This is not a Supreme Court. It is McConnell's court of subordinates.

That and corruption seem to be the goals of SCOTUS.

Insurrections are armed and very carefully planned. Read instead of watching TV / pedowood movies

Maddening but not funny.

Good point! It shows what a sham this process is - it's certainly not about the law.

During Trump's second impeachment, his own impeachment lawyer Bruce Castor argued the DOJ could prosecute Trump after he left office. He has no immunity - and he, his lawyers, and SCOTUS knows it. Innocent people don't claim absolute immunity from prosecution.

They don't care. They are corrupt.

@@jameswheeler349 I believe you are correct sir.

I think America does. We celebrate the 4 of july every year why doesn't that include a little civics like reading the declaration and the constitution. Our nation's documents are not that long.

Sadly, it was rendered meaningless once Donald Trump was elected to office ... but your point is well made!

of the none, she felt like she was the only one vested in the argument on that day, and the other 8 were gioing thru the motions for appeanace sake. man if I were on that bench, I'd want to know why i was trying to give a preseident immunity for the acts he committed, and want to hear how they pertain to the case. The other 7-8 justices just didn't seem they were all that into hearing about 'little Donny's fight on the playground'

This time around the FBI, DOJ and law enforcement all over will be keeping an eye out for violent chatter on-line. They'll know to take it seriously and be prepared. Last time we were caught off guard because that had never happened in America before. Trump purposefully had only a handful of police around and Jan. 6th. Plus, some of his insurrectionists are still in jail. Maybe new ones won't be so willing to go to jail for him. Vote Biden/blue save our democracy.

The Constitution doesn't mention badminton either.

Nor, surprisingly enough, does it mention television, nuclear weapons, electricity, Islam, political parties, women, etc., etc., etc. And yet it has been applied to disputes involving all these things. It's funny that way.

it doesn't need to be, at the time of the writing it was legal and women had the right and it was well known to be an issue between the woman and her doctor. Regardless, we amend the constitution to meet our times so Dems know what they now have to do when they have the house and senate back.
