- CNN political commentators Van Jones and Scott Jennings weigh in on the Supreme Court's ruling that Donald Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he took in the waning days of his presidency in a decision that will likely further delay a trial on the federal election subversion charges pending against him. #CNN #News

The corruption in politics today is endemic. America is in an existential crisis. It really is.
This is an ACTUAL crisis
Clear out all the George soros backed Liberal Communists since the democrat party is all communists.
167 Biden LLCs that produced nothing and provided ZERO services -absolutely, we have a crisis.
@@JonnM you do know your local mayor has immunity of offical acts as well, even the dog catcher has immunity for offical acts... why? Or how did you people get so brainwashed and dumb?
@@largerthanlightmedia8162 Aw, widdle commie upset. Obamao had immunity from prosecution over the illegal war he started against Libya
Only kings and dictators are free to ignore the law. In a democracy, no individual should be immune to the law.
Joe Biden committed multiple felonies by having classified docs but Robert Hur said he didn't recommend an indictment because Biden is old and forgetful and too old for a trial. Huh? But he can be in the White House? And the Biden admin just admitted in federal court to altering the transcripts to make Biden look less incompetent. And now they won't release the tapes so they are hiding something very damaging about Biden. Go Trump and FJB and his banana republic regime.
Hillary got away with it, but it's only a problem now?
If the penalty of breaking a law is a fine, it’s only illegal for the poor.
June 1215 Magna Carta. Review your history.
but the MAGA idiots only see this as a win for them instead of a loss for ALL.
You know what, Scott, I think I'll take a pass on your reassurances that Congress can always step in and throw out a criminal president. What we have witnessed with our own eyes is that Congress becomes part of the problem, and constantly finds ways to ignore, marginalize, dismiss, participate in, and/or otherwise capitulate to outrageous behavior on the part of the POTUS.
Impeachment process is partisan. A majority party of Congress will determine the impeachment results. The minority party of Congress will effectively have no bearing on results of impeachment.
And impeachment is not the same as criminal liability.
@@markfenaughty8301 How so?
Lol, sucka...
I agree with you 100%.🖐️
Sorry, enlighten me Scott - when has a president ever needed this protection?
Democrat president Andrew Johnson needed this protection when he was clashing with Congress over reconstruction of the South. Republicans in Congress labeled him a traitor.
Obama when he murdered US citizens in Yemen in drone strikes. The GOP could have easily had hom jailed for that in Trumps time in office but we didn't weaponize the DOJ like the Democrats did
@@kvkv7423 When a sitting president goes after a former president/ political opponent the way they do in 3rd world banana republics.
Scott needs to go.
@@Bubblelover0101that hasn't happened though. Biden had no hand in the prosecution. Should there be no limits on what a president is criminally liable for aside from him literally pulling the trigger himself?
I cannot think of any law a President would need to break in order to perform their duties!
Obama ordered the assassination of a US citizen without a trial or any due process based on his belief the man was a danger to the US. That is the definition of murder, but this Supreme Court ruling gives him immunity.
Murder in war? Obama killing Osama bin laden? Also him killing women and children with drone strikes?
think harder 🤣
President Obama killing an American and a wedding party in a drone strike. President Biden killing a family going for water he thought was terrists.
Obama killed 4 American citizens. Bush tortured. Bill Clinton lied under oath.
Mitch McConnell is responsible for all the mess we're in right now. Let's not forget that.
Don’t forget Harlan Crow
He wanted the Supreme Court majority. He would not have gotten it if trump was held accountable
Biden is going to be responsible for democrats loosing in November. 🤣🤣🤣

Scott does not understand that a judge is supposed to do his job without being partisan. People cannot vote these idiots out
I think Scott understands full well what he is saying, but is just acting in bad faith.
"WASH WASH".
Democrats must not only accept but respect the outcome/verdict of the highest court of the land. Follow and abide the rules of the law, you are not above the law. The U.S. Court of Justice main function is to interpret the law.
So its just by chance that 6 repulican judges vote the same and 3 democrats vote the same they are all just puppets put there by presidents.. Its decisions is just made by who dies at what time so the sitting president can put his own people in so basiclly the supreme court is a lottery of who of them dies when
Just because the decision didn't agree with you doesn't mean it was partisan.
Congress has already proven what a joke impeachment is. It's always one side vs. the other.
Exactly! Impeachment process is a waste of time and money. The way I see it it’s like me committing a crime and the prosecution allowing my family members as the jury. What the chances of my family convicting me? NONE! So, in Congress whoever is in the majority will convict the other side or protect the members of their side without true evaluation. 🤷🏽♀
@@KaribeCuebasdamn
The 2 hoax impeachments by piglosi? Yeah. She should be behind bars for jan 6th.
Yep, impeachment has zero consequences to the impeached. It's just a shitshow created by Congress to achieve...nothing.

*So under this new ruling, does this mean, current President Biden can choose not to concede, be the last President, & appoint his successor, rather than another election, & we can say good bye to Trump forever!!!*
@@sandyleewhite it doesn’t mean that at all you nut.
Nope.
Biden cannot put Trump in jail and Trump cannot put Biden in Jail.
It does, but Biden won't. He's still acting like the Constitution is in effect, when it no longer is. He should at least delay the election until things are sorted out, and he should use his powers to restore the Constitution.
You read my mind
You need a megaphone because no one is talking about this but I wager the Trump camp is hoping no one realizes SCOTUS actually handed immunity to the sitting president!!!
No previous President has had to worry about having immunity in the 245 years our country has existed.
erm, Nixon?
No previous president was part of a witch hunt the way Trump is .
Because none of those past presidents where not autocratic criminals
@@davej1425That was an act of congress. That is always on the table.
Because no president ever had his opponent going after him.
How can a broken, gridlock Congress punish a president who has half the congress in his pocket...
but I thought "bidens really with it" campaign had him as the "top tier winner" 🙄
Trump doesn’t have half the country. His zombie supporters want voters to think they do, but voter intimidation wouldn’t be necessary if they did.
One-third of the country, my friend. I am part of the other third. And then we have the 1/3 that could vote, but apparently could care less. They will be the loudest whiners, but they will be salved by their "cultural superiority" on the wasteland of MAGA.

And half the CONGRESS in his pocket…

No PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE INSANE!!
So many citizens don't have any clue what the implications of this are and its scary.
Wait… sharp and lucid Joe was bragging about defying the same courts order about him not being able to cancel student debt
Same outrage?
Unfortunately most people only think and act upon their tribalistic natures, i.e. my group is better than yours and if there would be no law in place people would be in constant conflict over every little thing.
You say most people don't have a clue. I don't like the idea of the president having such broad immunity. But the only ones complaining are democrats. And Trump has not in any way tried to use such immunity - yet. But a past president has, and in the most lethal way... he claimed the right to kill any American citizen who he thought was a threat to the country. Without review. With total immunity. Who was that president? *DO YOU HAVE A CLUE?*
Date Nov. 8,2010: WASHINGTON - The Obama administration today argued before a federal court that it should have unreviewable authority to kill Americans the executive branch has unilaterally determined to pose a threat. Government lawyers made that claim in response to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) charging that the administration’s asserted targeted killing authority violates the Constitution and international law. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia heard arguments from both sides today.
“Not only does the administration claim to have sweeping power to target and kill U.S. citizens anywhere in the world, but it makes the extraordinary claim that the court has no role in reviewing that power or the legal standards that apply,” said CCR Staff Attorney Pardiss Kebriaei, who presented arguments in the case.
WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE THEN?
America is about to vote for their new monarcy.
It's funny how this was never needed until Trump came to office.
The Trump royal family is about to be seated and Americans deserve what they are about to get.
It makes me sick to my stomach that 6 people are ruling America
Amazing comment... we certainly know who ISN'T running the country...
Haha 2 bad so sad MAGA 2024
Sex People...
6 appointed judges are interpreting the law. You should be happy. Biden and Obama have immunity.
Take an Alka-Seltzer.
The same court has said biden cant forgive student loans and then turns around and says trump can do whatever he wants ?
That's not what happened.

Scott Jennings is so good at gas-lighting he probably doesn't require any domestic source of electricity. Or is he just auditioning for a spot on Newsmax or OAS?
he's a WEASEL!
He tells the truth. Unlike Jones and ahole licker cooper
100%, I really wish they'd get rid of him. The left-leaning commentators actually have some nuance and ability to call actions from people "on their side" wrong when they are wrong. Scott Jennings is just a right wing lackey that has absolutely no ability to actually think about anything beyond "right good, left bad." I don't watch CNN much anymore, and Jennings is the biggest example of why.
Jennings knows damn well this Supreme Court HATES Congress. Roberts told the Senate to F OFF when they wanted him to come in and speak about all the bribes the Right Wing Justices are taking.
It’s suppose to be opinions from both sides of the isle. Sounds like you just want to hear from one side. Is that real journalism?
Absolute power corrupts absolutely and this Extreme Court has proven that over and over again.
Spare me the drama. The Supremes "granted" Trump (and all following Presidents) nothing more than what virtually every public official in the U.S. already enjoys. You are apparently unaware that the Presidency was the sole public position for which this was not clearly established. Trust me the Badger had practiced law for more than 40 years.
What is the oath of office for? ...TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion
Yeah' we need protection from those Evil Ass Democrats !
Trump himself is the DOMESTIC enemy of our Constitution! Proceed with the Georgia case, The Florida case and the DC insurrection case!!!
Yeah that all does not matter to these ring wing wackos anymore. They want a dictatorship. They want us like Russia. They are against democracy. This is why you never hear MAGA talk about democracy ever.
That is exactly why he needs to be charged with treason immediately!

Supreme Court hurt itself? As if they care about constitution
What is absolutely asinine about Scott Jenning's position is if the ultimate check of power is with the voters, then the voters did reject Trump, and what he did next is what got us here in the first place.
Scott has orange all over his face
Then you can reject him again. Doesn't mean he can't be on the ballot. Just vote for who you want, you shouldn't be bothered by someone you don't plan on voting for.
There was so much cheating it was pitiful
@@Acidfox86, criminal actions should be prosecuted, obviously a popularity contest would have nothing to do with the issue.
If no immunity then biden Obama Clinton's can all face dozens of charges. They all commited worse crimes than Trump. Educate yourself.
And this is why I don’t watch CNN anymore because Scott Jennings should not be on this segment or any segment in my opinion. He’s not even a lawyer!!!!!!
I know, you want your CNN propaganda pure and undiluted. You want to be comfortable in ignorance and divorced from reason or thinking.
You can always scream at the sky!
But ur watching this video lol
So like what, you just want everyone in the room to agree with each other and offer no dissenting viewpoints? The lack of curiosity and intellectualism in liberals is astounding
Okay so you just want everyone to agree LOL
Awwwww 😂🤣😂🤣
Didn't McConnell say after the Senate refused to impeach Trump that the legal system should be the remedy? And now there is no legal remedy.
Exactly!
Guttless Moscow Mitch! A vote to impeach. Could have saved us from all this shit.à
The legal system was there in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Democrats dragged the Jan. 6th protestors into court during that time. The reason they didn't bring it until August of 2023 is because that was when it became clear that Trump would run again. They kept it in their pocket as a political tool, and it backfired. That's what happened.
Congress was the remedy set in place by the Constitution. It isn't the role of common courts to sue the president for their perceived slights/crimes, etc. and to do so over and over in order to bankrupt, silence or jail him is ridiculous.
Mitch was also the sole reason Trump was able to stack the court, that is not a coincidence.
Van said it and moved passed it too quickly. The whole point of the founders was to “constrain” the office of the President. The three branches work to constrain one another. It wasn’t meant to be the job of voters to constrain the President.
Exactly.Do people realize how much damage can be done between election cycles.And then because of so much misinformation out there the voting electorate is not as informed as it should be.We delegate that responsibility as voters to the three branches of govt to maintain checks on one another.Sad to say.The only thing left with any integrity is our military.Once that goes,and it will,we are done
It's the job of the voters to constrain their representatives. Of course, when the system was changed to the "universal franchise" - meaning illiterate morons who can't get a job flipping burgers have just as much say in our governance as responsible, intelligent, and educated citizens, what can be expected other than the mess we have today?
No. The Founders wanted to restrain the government. The whole purpose of the government is to protect our inaliable rights. It was meant to be small. The Executive branch is supposed to see that the laws are carried out. Legislative branch crates the laws and Judicial sees that pre existing laws are interpreted correctly as per the Constitution. Judicial is the weakest of the 3 branches.
@@loladaise6432 The founders, after fighting a king, did want to avoid having (another) king, above all other aims. Restraining the government includes restraining the president, does it not? Is it OK to have a renegade president who goes overboard with a revenge tour against (perceived) enemies? What president is promising such a tour? There is no reliable way to say which branch is the strongest, but surely a lifetime appointment is at least supposed to convey some independence which is more important for those who hold the final review of a president's actions.
@@loladaise6432 Very nice! Thanks! A small government is something the left will never understand. 🥹
But Scott Jennings, what if there are corrupt people in Congress and the Senate🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
That is exactly the case in front of us-corrupt Republicans who FAILED to impeach and remove Donald Trump!
And what if the courts become corrupt. That's a silly circular argument, as many are beginning to suspect. At least the senate is open for scrutiny.

Yup
Paying off someone’s silence isn’t a crime. It wasn’t campaign funds. The judge’s family in the case actually funded Biden… I thought that was a conflict of interest… Trying to indict your political opponent is election interference also… there’s a major reason Trump will be the 2024 President elect…

Thanks to democrats.
When the Supreme Court has the ultimate say on anything - the talking points about a fail safe in congress doesn’t mean a thing.
Jennings talking about how the voters can reign in a President when this was about the attempt to manipulate and delegitimize an election is pretty rich.
To be fair, Biden's "questionable" victory has only increased in doubt as his Presidency marched on. I didn't think much about "the big lie" having any credence early on...But as I watched Joe more and more? I began to have my doubts the majority of the people put him in the WH.

the election was not fair. Way too much smoke for no fire.
LOL CNN should give trump and his traitor group more air time, like a debate. keep normalizing trump!! 🤣😂😅
Fake electors tried to rob me of my vote.
"The Constitution gave Congress a way to reign in any president, it's called impeachment." Sure, assuming that the president--having full immunity from prosecution--doesn't kill or imprison the rivals trying to impeach him, or doesn't just ignore the impeachment altogether.
Right. And the Dems knew they could not do that so they lied. They are liars.
The House votes to impeach but the Senate decides if there is reason to act, like remove them from.office. The dumocrats impeached Trump after he was president the idiots! 😅
what if Biden does it first?
You people are SOOOOOOO dumb.
That would be illegal and outside of official acts, he would not be allowed to do it, unless he gets the police and military on his side, which makes it a coup at that point.

Dude, this has been this way for 243 years. That's why it hasn't been an issue. This isn't a Trump thing this was the Democrats getting too big for their britches.
Biden will require immunity, so he should be grateful for today's ruling.
obama drone strikes on american civilians? people said he had immunity
There's a precedent for civil immunity but not criminal immunty. Nixon v. Fitzgerald (1982): The Supreme Court held that the President is entitled to absolute immunity from civil damages liability for acts within the "outer perimeter" of his official responsibilities. This means the President cannot be sued for damages for official acts taken while in office.
What''s to stop a President, acting in his official capacity, from declaring martial law and suspending an election?
You've got to be joking
At this point nothing more than the generals telling him to piss off
checks and balances and the population who wouldnt stand for it...if trump was gonna do that, why not do that in his first 4 years?
Uhhhh the constitution? Which contains 2A
The senate can strip the president of power. It's in the constitution
"If the President does it, it's not a crime." How does this ruling affect Congress's ability to impeach a president for "high crimes and misdemeanors?"
If the president commits a crime that isn’t in his official capacity then they can still impeach him. They can pretty much impeach him for anything if they have the votes. Police officers have qualified immunity. It’s their duty to enforce the law. The president is the head of the executive branch which’s duty is to enforce the law. So why tf would a random police officer have immunity but not the president? The president dictates policy to the atf, fbi, cia,NSA, and all the other agencies. If he orders one of those agencies to do something thinking it’s going to save American lives but he ends up being wrong then he shouldn’t go to jail. If he had the potential to go to jail then you would compromise the ability of the federal government to enforce the law and protect Americans. Obviously there’s a line that can be crossed between acting in an official capacity and being a tyrant or abusing your power. In that case house impeaches senate finds guilty and removes. Once that happens then he’s fair game for criminal prosecution by the appropriate courts.
Your initial sentence is wrong.
IF? God help those who don’t have money or power to buy favor.
it actually makes impeachment and removal pointless. That power only makes sense if the president has the absolute immunity that Trump argued for. This ruling actually limits the immunity of a president but makes impeachment pointless, as I stated.
The American Emperor is above the law now. No repercussions, no liability, no restrictions.
I read these comments by Trumpers and I've decided a couple of things. 1. I understand why America is falling apart. 2. I don't argue with crazy, so I'm not arguing with Trumpers. I didn't realize how common simple minded people are in America.

Impeachment is not justice. Being kicked out is not prosecution
O.K.l let's take this one step at a time. Impeachment was solely intended to remove an official from office. Period. Impeachment is distinct from and has nothing to do with either a civil lawsuit or a criminal prosecution.
The Supremes "granted" Trump (and all following Presidents) nothing more than what virtually every public official in the U.S. already enjoys: governors, mayors, etc. You are apparently unaware that the Presidency was the sole public position for which this was not clearly established. Trust me the Badger has practiced law for more than 40 years.
impeachment has nothing AT ALL to do with being kicked out of anything LOL
@@mysticx0 well, OK-impeachment AND conviction … is that better? 😯
But it's a start.
@@vinista256 Much.
The question is: how do you draw the line between official acts and personal acts？
It's quite simple: Anything that requires the powers of the office is an official act.
If you could do something as a non-officeholder, it's a private act. E.g. you can hold a speech and tell people to invade the Capitol. You don't need to hold an office to do that.
But it's clear that you can do worse things with official acts, than with personal ones.
@@Keimzelle
Who told people to invade the Capital?
Overthrowing an election is on no way a part of a president’s official duties! It is treason and a crime!
With insane people, like most of them are…they can call ‘anything’ an official act, these people are ‘ cutting off their nose to spite their face’ , also fulfilling Bible prophecy. Satan & his demons are using these people to the full!
@@michaelwilliamson4759 Trump.
How can Biden take advantage of this ruling?
He already has.
Biden can't even speak intelligently
Its bad because the Walking Dead King Joe can't beat Trump fare and square.
Having Scott’s voice on CNN normalised dangerous far right ideas. That hire was strategic and CNN is shifting the discourse to where you don’t want it to be
💯% AGREE!
🤦🏽♂️Scott is definitely not far right… Just because he told you the truth and you don’t agree with his statement… You must like getting pacified… Your statement definitely defines you as a very misinformed person
He is far right in The Magat camp ,I've watched him for 8 years sniveling and groveling for their Orange Menace, he just the official propagandaist for him .
The debate was a disaster partly because CNN did not require trump to answer their questions, he diverted all of them and lied all the time. I’m sick of hearing how Biden is old, so what! We are safe with him and he will not be a dictator!
ONLY TOOK 8 MONTHS to decide on nothing and send it back to the lower courts. It was just a stragedy to stall all his trials before the election.
Stole some tactics from Democrats
@ericinla65 It's a tragedy that the case was brought at all. It's clear Dems brought these partisan cases at a particular time.
Why?? Because you know Trump is a popular President and is going to win in November? The last 3 and 1/2 years of Biden have been painful for America. TRUMP 2024❤
Actually, look closer. They have given Trump absolute immunity.
"decide on nothing"? Seriously? They ruled official acts are immune.....TRUMP 2024!!!
I have no faith in our politicians or our Supreme Court anymore.
Well when an Administration turns loose the power of the Legal System to Jail their Political Opponents that is pretty good evidence that something is F**KED UP!!!!!!
Why? Just because you don't want Trump to be President? Grow up. The Supreme Court is perfectly competent.
Never did
@@Inconvenient_NPCcompetent at what? Being idiots?
@@johnmshaw49 - You are basically repeating what Heller6395 said. Trump didn't do anything wrong. Why the hell would you vote for Biden? Look at the state of America. Doesn't it concern you?
This interview is NOT informing people. It only helps create more uncertainty.
The Founders were working on the pretense that representatives were going to be loyal to the Constitution and its processes. With the number of traitors in the government that we have and had, it's not a good prognosis.
Their master's voice..and payola.. Read G Washington re. foreign entanglements and pol.parties..
Exactly. The system has become corrupted into everything that the founders were trying to avoid. Even the 2 party system was meant to prevent the power play nonsense. Now everything is centered around grown adults playing "king of the sandcastle" & "I know you are but what am I? Na-nuh-na-nuh boo boo!"
It's go time for seal team six President Biden !!..........................no greater example of threat to country could even be imagined that would have made it this far , while some rule of law still exists
/\ Secret Service… please investigate/\
The founding fathers were operating under the assumption that leaders will be virtuous. I'd be surprised if 2% of politicians are virtuous.
Scott Jennings: There’s always impeachment. Mitch McConnell: There’s always the justice system.
U got it. All the Supreme Court had to say is was we already know-- no one is above the law.
Then send the prosecutor back to the lower courts to prove their case against Trump just like any other defendant.
Case closed.
The 6 judges are bought and paid for. Amy Barrett trying to sneak in her weak comment after going along with this craziness is absurd.
The other 3 judges are right. We don't change or waiver on the principles of the foundation of the constitution to protect DT. When u read their dissects that's the take home message.
The majority 6 did not make the right decision. I am convinced that they are political operatives.
I hope Biden or whomever runs against Trump echo this until November. Trump is the only president in history that ran to the SC for cover. If u are innocent why beg others to protect u.
The problem is that congress had the opportunity to get him out of office, and they didn't. TWICE!😳
They Impeachments were unconstitutional and did not reach felonies or misdemeanors
Because he had the senate in his pocket
@@mvallejr1 somebody forgot private email use for official office use?

There was no 'attempted coup". Nancy Pelosi is responsible for what happened on J6. She even admitted it on video. Blame her!
The Supreme Court taking away women’s rights while simultaneously giving trump unequal rights, seems about right! Right in all senses of the word, as in total bias. We are in serious trouble as a nation.
As far as I know the Abortion Rights issue went back to the States! Did you not know that ? And in this day and age it took away men’s rights as from what I’m hearing Pregnant people is the new term not Pregnant Women 😂

The foundation of the 2025 plan is now laid and ready. The owners have waited and now is their time to assert total control. Carlin was right, it was not a joke, and we all laughed….
Presidents have always had immunity covering them while conducting official duties. And I assume, based on your hyperbole, that you think Obama should be arrested for murder since he targeted his own American citizens overseas with airstrikes, right? I guess their rights as Americans went away when they got out of US airspace, huh? Look it up before you sound ignorant, again.
The supreme court essentially agreed with Nixon's viewpoint (that he restated even after his resigned) that "well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."
how far we have fallen
We are headed the way of Russia and Putin if we let this madman back into office.

Because previously, in the history of our Country the constitution was followed, giving all those Presidents immunity. The constitution and We The People deserve a President who can act without threat of prosecution for his Presidential decisions. This is a win for the American People!
Because Trump has done so many bad things and gets away with everything when he gets in and I fear he will Because of all thr help putin is giving him ,I hate to see the USA GO DO DOWN THIS WAY,TRUMP GETS IN HE WILL BE A DICTATER AND ALL THE REPUBLICANS AFTER HIM TOO.😮
Dictatorship
Two reasons:
Because along came one guy who is unlike anyone in history who actually has caused a mental illness for some people who go crazed and their brains stop working. Then they act on their crazy brain thoughts. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s very real.
Also, the power and money has become too big for mortals. Every one of them in government and media are clawing and lying. Now they think they can make us believe anything. - Take the jab. Joe Biden is fine. Trump caused an insurrection. We must drive electric vehicles. Inflation is getting better. You don’t see that. You didn’t hear that. You don’t know differently. If you ask questions you’re ________ (racist, sexist, communist, perverse, stupid, etc.)
Now we’ve figured some things out. And MORE stuff is coming out every day. (I’m not sure why, but it’s The Age of Exposure.) And these yahoos need a rule for everything because they cannot behave and live with common sense anymore.
That’s why. You and I don’t need a million rules or a dress code or enforced healthcare. That’s why it’s so annoying.

OH, so only people who are against Trump have any sense?
Your pissed off because they hate Biden and the left..CRY BABY CRY😂😂😂😂😂😂 TRUMP 2025 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow, remember the good old days, y'know, earlier today, when we could actually say "no one is above the law." Good times.
this doesn't help trump with any of his current legal problems because none of them fall under "official acts".
We could say it but it has never been true. If it were then Bill and Hillary would both have gone to jail. Bill for perjury and Hillary for multiple violations of security laws and the Federal records Act.
🤣 Enjoy your disappointment
We couldnt say that, Hillary still isnt in jail
VERY disappointed that CNN would interview the opinion of Scott Jennings on the very day that the courts released their decision.... his understanding of the law is no more thorough than my own.... interview him later if you like.... but today?
I agree. We only want CNN 's perspective on this decision .
What does Van actually do?
The phrase "nobody is above the law" has been shown to have always been aspirational, and was never a statement of fact.
Yeah, just like that other one..."I can't breathe"
Every illegal alien is above the law
No, it isn't factual. We just saw Steve Bannon go to prison as a political prisoner of the Biden administration, while Merrick Garland walks free for the EXACT same violation. Bannon and Garland BOTH claimed presidential immunity as employees of the president. Additionally, Hunter Biden and Eric Holder were "Above the law" in their commissions of contempt of congress and never charged.
A POTUS SHOULD NOT BE COMMITTING CRIMES, AT ALL. PERIOD!!!
Will you say that when Trumps DOJ goes after the Biden family?
So if a President sends your Son to WAR nd he is killed, you should be able to sue the President for Wrongful Death?
Not just Trump, but any future presidents.
Or how about the current President? I think they may have lit a firecracker with an extremely short fuse.
Republican future Presidents
Yep, even if it’s not trump, all it takes is one person in the future to think “I can abuse that” and the country is cooked
@@shanelbcvinyl *Any* future presidents. Obama killed 67,000 Syrian innocents with drone strikes while chasing Al-Qaeda and you didn't see them taking away his presidency.
and current. BIDEN could abuse these powers right now. But GOP isn't worried about that. Almost like they don't actually believe Biden is a piece of shit. If Dems were actually corrupt they would be celebrating this law, they can soooo easily illegally but now legally stop Trump from becoming POTUS if he wins again.
"If we don't have faith in the voters and the people they send, then I am not sure what we're fighting about today." YEAH CAUSE TRUMP HAS LOADS OF FAITH IN THE VOTERS AND WHO THEY ELECT. What a load of BS.
