The Supreme Court heard arguments over Donald Trump’s claim that presidents should be immune to criminal charges. While conservative justices appear skeptical presidents don’t need some protections, they seem unpersuaded that Trump should be completely immune. NBC’s Laura Jarrett reports for TODAY.

No human could wield unlimited power coupled with total impunity without producing disastrous results. It's just the way we are.

Trump just needs to go away and it only takes common sense to know that he cares not about America or the American people he only cares about himself and trying to be some kind of king and destroying America and we as Americans cannot allow a criminal demon like him in the White House ever again, Vote Blue across the entire board 💙💙

@@Caine-vb8pk Yes of course. I mean no disrespect when I say this though but all I want to say is don't get distracted. We are discussing giving Presidents even more power. Hopefully the less partisan Republican-appointed justices join the Democrat ones in ruling against increasing Presidential immunity. Coney-Barret actually asked some of the best questions. If just one other justices like Roberts joins then we will have 5 and should be good. No one who loves liberty should be happy with even LESS oversight to the executive branch.

If the delineation of what makes a president immune is an official act vs. a private act, it seems that the delineation is simple to figure out. If the act benefits the president, it's a private act, if it benefits others without benefitting the president, it's an official act. So taking home classified documents benefits the president and is a private act. Trying to overturn the election benefits the president and is a private act. Falsifying business records benefits the president and is a private act, etc. Trumps acts were all private acts which means he is not immune. Pretty simple isn't it?
