- While the Supreme Court Justices seemed skeptical that Donald Trump has total immunity, several conservative justices indicated an openness to kicking the case back down to the lower courts. Marcus Childress and Ankush Khardori join The Weekend to unpack it all.

Of what?
VERY ACTIVE!!!
@@blakethegreatone2058 Insurrection
Criminal...
And that makes her husband, Clarence Thomas, should be recused from this case.
This is INSANE that its even being discussed
And it took more than 3 months to find out it's not worth discussing.😅😅
Anything to satisfy a clown. They owe him another "favor" for their seats.
Come on SCOTUS - A Crime is a Crime, no matter who commits it!!
They are beholden to him, that's why they are helping him. Quite simple.
Quite simply they are interested in the application to all past and current and future presidents. Trump is only the lesser immediate issue. If they judge incorrectly possibly no president will be able to act without fear of reprisal or litigation. Presidents order the death of people every day via military actions.
@@goettling Yes. In addition to their loyalty to Project 2025.
Ketanji Brown Jackson got it 100% correct
this is easy no one is immune from committing a crime ..what he done was not for the safety of the country..
no crimes.

@@maharajjinkb7824
Why is their an option to translate your clearly english comment, to english...
Russian propagandist, maybe?
Thomas is a mockery
If they wanted to "get it right", they should have refused to hear Trump's ridiculous appeal, and simply allowed the lower court's thorough, reasonabke and rational ruling stand. The subject matter of the apoeal could NOT be more absurd ... a sitting US POTUS being afforded absolute immunity to do "anything" and "everything" that he/she wants without any risk of accountability whatever? Really? What a horrible joke!
you are completely wrong the lower courts were wrong and far from reasonable and rational. the scotus even the lefties pointed that out during arguments
Do you not understand that if presidential immunity is removed, then the real treasonous, criminal presidents: Biden, Obama, Clinton and Bush could be tried for their crimes while president?
I call them a bunch of sickies aka horrible human beings who obey the guy who keeps pumping that green into their overseas fraudulent bank accounts. This supreme court the Right has been completely corrupted by the 1% and the games they play with us and on us.
As long as they give total immunity, I hope Biden locks Trump up! No questions, no penalties?
do spellcheck
The question before the Supreme Court is: Do we have Equal Justice for All or Do we have a King or not? It's not that hard, just rule!
Complicating a very simple question in order to delay without looking biased. That sums it up. Shame on them!
But, they have failed. Their bias is evident and their is delay accomplished.
That is exactly right and they underestimating the public’s interest and intelligence.
@@AndreaCuchetto
But no case stalled by this will be processed prior too the election at this point.
This is a delay, who actually believes we shouldn't have all our leaders held accountable?
All of our leaders Have to live under the same laws as the rest of us.
PERIOD
They're trying to help Donald Trump to further delay his trials, and delay justice.
Kangaroo court! WTH!
@sherridoty4000 Right! They know a president can NOT be immune, if they were to rule in his favor ALL future presidents would be immune as well.
This is a delay tactic and we see right through it.
how el stoop can you be any president should have sme form of immunity for official acts period. they have to make decisions that are solely invested in them .. how about they say ok we wll let thugsy make the call and if he is wrong he goes to jail for life. how does that sound to you
@jamesdouthat3999 It sounds like you don't know how to debate.
And what exactly defines an official act?
If a president isn't held accountable for "official acts" that are against the constitution and laws, it gives them cart blanch.
Try again James, come up with a logical point. I support you attempting to make an argument (without lowering yourself to personal insults... you can do this)
They don’t want to get into the details of the case because there is no case.
???????
Really? This is not difficult. No one is above the law.
The justices hide behind closed doors. They need to face questions from the press just like Presidents and Congress.
Yeah, what's up with that? You'd think that in this day and age, there would be ONE who would speak to the press all the time.
😅😂 The Press : what kind of ice cream do you like?
Yes, I am amazed that the Conservatives on SCOTUS want to say the case is not about Trump and talk about everything but Trump when the name of the case is, in fact, Trump v. United States.
SMH
Well, when making a ruling that affects the future Presidents, you must consider more the political opponents. Next prsty in charge may go after Obama for his assassinations with drones over seas.
Immunity will include Biden! can you imagine what he could do?
Obfuscation
The hearing is about presidential immunity, NOT Trump immunity. Why can't you people understand this? Don't forget, Obama knowingly did drone strikes on kids, you sure you want to go this route? I'm here for it 😃
@@ekay9783
Can you imagine what the next president will do?
Or the one after?
There is a reason this is bad.
9 unelected people making decisions for 350m people, expand scotus and end the filibuster
If the government is corrupt, then how would more government fix anything? Smaller government is greater freedom.
@@meat-hook our governments problem comes from how undemocratic it is, how a small % can endlessly roadblock the vast minority.
" Smaller government is greater freedom" laughably untrue, it just transfers all power to corporations vs elected officials. Your just advocating for feudalism
150% agreed!!! Eliminate the imbecilic filibuster for it is of literally no use. However, instead of expanding scotus, we need to seriously limit the time anyone is allowed to serve, along with GREATLY increasing the bare minimum qualifications in order to even be nominated for the position. Mandatory 12 grades of completed education along with a minimum of 10 full years of active service as a judge just to begin with.
The only ones who would "suffer" from such new rules would be those unqualified for the position in the first place.
@@meat-hookif part of the government you can't change is corrupt then at least rebalancing it seem pretty reasonable. Going from 9 to say 12 judges don't exactly expand the government.
Funny that Republicans have made a u turn on this though, now they're all for massive government. Guess they anticipate ruling people who hate their decisions and oppose what they do will be troublesome..
Let's expand the SC to 99, and have them vote by mail.
Dems need to start acting on expanding the SC as soon as they can.
They had a chance already And CHOSE to protect the filibuster over protecting the legitimacy of the court and now WE ARE PAYING THE PRICE
The SC lost ALL credibility in just hearing this case. If a middle school debate team put this forward they would be laughed out of the school. It’s PATHETIC and EMBARRASSING beyond belief.
They lost all credibility when they overturned Roe versus Wade after lying about it when they were interviewed for the job
This gets added to the list of atrocious decisions:
1. Decimating Voting Rights
2. Decimating women's Rights
3. Not protecting children or innocents via draconian pro-gun "rights"
4. Not honoring Amendment 14, section 3 of the constitution (via the case brought by Colorado on protecting the nation by not putting Trump on the 2024 ballot)
5. Citizens United = giving Big Money the legal right to purchase lawmakers
6. Earlier court--with some of the same dimwitted players: giving the 2000 Presidency to Bush, Jr
Lying about Roe V Wade when the last three were under oath and sworn in.
how did they lose all credibility
It's painful how immature you are buddy rofl
@@jamesdouthat3999 they didn't - the left are just babies
They already got it wrong by delaying this trial so much.
no they havnt .. the trial can wait

This whole case against him was dead and buried years ago. Bragg brought it back and purposely turned misdemeanors into felonies, he ignored the statute of limitations just to get Trump and keep him off the campaign trail. Trump will win this either way. It's a CLOWN show
@@jamesdouthat3999 no it cannot.
Trump by the constitution shouldnt even be allowed to run again, he should be in a cell. They are covering for him for the election and literally no other reason.
@@jamesdouthat3999 Until after he wins the election and can simply disband the DoJ and make the charges go away, right? Newsflash - he won't win the election and he will end up in prison. Eventually
They already got it wrong by even entertaining the idea of immunity.
Term limits should be implemented for the Supreme Court
Imagine trying to give Trump presidential immunity without thinking the same would apply to Biden… 🙄
I don't have to imagine
Very very good point, Biden would have immunity as well right?
Hopefully Biden saves democracy and gives the order to Seal Team Six or whichever special forces Biden prefers
@@nicolemarois5900 Yep Seal Team 6 time for the right wing HACKS on this SCOTUS.
@@nicolemarois5900 yup, but he kinda already does.
Getting it right would have been to decline the case and let the other cases against him proceed.
Absolutely!
I agree. They should just say no immunity and let the trials begin again. I don't have faith in the male justices to do that after hearing them talk.
Vote Blue until every last MAGA/election denier is out of office.
Exactly. The appeals court got it right. They refused the case and demanded the appeals court write an opinion, then they took the case anyway and slow walked it. Now they are proclaiming that they will write “rules” for the ages regarding hypotheticals and not this specific case. Seriously. These men are really revolting. Hey Gorsuch: stuff your “rules”. I don’t obey you. I follow the constitution. The actual spirit of the constitution as a living document whose writers INTENDED it to respond to the majority and changing times. You are not my king.
no getting it right would be to say some form of immunity and send it back down to lower courts and make them do their job
💯
They should have asked, “If the president disapproves a judges ruling, does he have the power to remove them from the bench?”
Getting it right would be accepting the DC Appeals court decision and letting the trial proceed instead of giving oxygen to nonsense and dangerous arguments.
Judges that don't want to legislate from the bench wouldn't have had to look at this case. We have a conservative-activist Billionaire's court that is carrying water for one man.
The problem is that the corrupt Washington political establishment and its allies in the media are getting embarrassed for lying to the American people that Trump committed crimes without any evidence. Now they have no option but to smear the justices as an attempt to keep their base in tact especially those that don't think for themselves.
That man and as a man I use that term man lightly, and that man isn't trump it's Leonard Leo the architect of this corruption of the supreme court. Trump is just the ignorant front man set in place to take the fall but all conspirators and co-conspirators are subject to the same crimes and punishments equally. What has and is still befalling us is a grand conspiracy to overthrow The United States Constitution and The United States of America and it must be brought to a justly firm end or this will lead us to another civil war bloodier than the first where no one will escape horrible suffering.
He's not the president! He's just running from the law! Candidate jailbird😊
lol wow do you got it backwards.. its only the lefties that try to write law from the bench...
They are arguing Obama and Bush also. It's about immunity not 1 man. You should go listen. They stated if Trump's guilty, Bush and Obama would be guilty of killing civilians with drone strikes
Getting it right was never take it up in the first place.
Then Trump has immunity.
Amen!
Very true.
Yes. Supreme Court restructure!! ⚖️
The Supreme Court is hoping it gets it 'right'.........for Trump that is.
What does your constitutional expertise hope for?
What if they were to say that he is immune, would President Biden take advantage of the situation and decide to stay in power as long as he want?
That would be in line with democrat democracy
@blakethegreatone2058 And yet it was a bunch of hillbillies decked in MAGA gear there on Jan 6th dead set on keeping their mango in power..😏

The Seal Team Six option for Biden should be a serious consideration, not just for Chump but also for a few SC justices as well.
They shouldn’t have touched this with a barge pole. It’s insane that they’re even hearing it.
Why should there be anxiety, it's a clear denial, a president should not expect immunity from anything, especially crimes
This REALLY shouldn't be hard. Immunity should be laughed out of court with a hard NO.
Easily!
Wouldn’t it be amazing if the Supreme Court decision was simply one sentence: No one is above the law in the United States of America. That’s it that’s all they need to write.Make it simple.
The men all act as though king trump will assassinate THEM when they aren't leaned over like little boys playing GI Joes with different war outcomes. Thank God, the women have more common sense!@@slaughteredwolf
Biden will be in prison asap then
no it sho7ldnt , you dmb fcks hatred of trump for some reason would honestly say who cares if it was wrong we got trump
Justice delayed is Justice Denied to we the people!!! We need this settled before the election.
That is fine nuts, this is an argument for supreme court to waste time on. This nation is teetering on the edge.all this b.s. needs to stop.
Just listening to Sauer's voice is reason enough to make a decision or send it back ASAP. How many packs a day does he smoke anyway?
Ginnie Thomas a victim? Say what!
Ginni Thomas was the leader of the domestic terrorists attack on our capital building!!
🐂💩
You cannot decide this case in Trump's favor without overthrowing the American constitutional order. It's as simple as that.
Indeed, there is absolutely nothing to 'discuss' about this. This is making a case out of nothing and is completely wrong.
They vote for immunity and we are basically Russia 2.0.
HAHAHAHAHHA
you are completely wrong. and it isnt about trump
@@jamesdouthat3999it’s not just about Trump, but if he gets in office again this could have horrible implications for our country. To be honest, if they give immunity this could have horriblye consequences no matter who is in office, but very scary if it’s Trump.
Ford shouldve let Nixon face his punishment according to the law . If he had we wouldnt be even discussing this case
I was one who was angry that Ford pardoned Nixon, then as time went by, I became resigned that maybe it was a good idea. Now, I am angry again as much of all this could have been resolved and done with.
President Biden are you ready for your FULL IMMUNITY from these clowns judges of the Supreme Court .
Only for me official duty.
Example if he has voter rolls checked cause Georgia has a lot of no existence residences vote would be an official act.
Stay in school. Just saying..

If we are talking pendantly Ya know besides the me that ended up in there for some reason.
@@Just-saying4trying to overturn a free and fair election is an official act? I thought it was more like treason..
I really appreciated Marcus's analysis. I love knowing Roberts is uncomfortable and understands the weigh of this case. Ankush, I agree with you on Biden's lack of urgency to move on SC reform. I also think the DOJ moved to slowly on the insurrectionist case. It should have been a top priority. I also think the Media and comedians made light of this issue. This should have been taken more seriously but too many assumed justice would prevail. Does not appear to be happening.
Criminals supreme court
Corrupt.
Supreme Court should be investigated no credibility!!!!!
Because they rule against democrats?
No harm no foul game over. TRUMP 2024!! Mr Magoo is going home November 5th. Checkmate!
The corrupt cannot defeat Trump without capturing the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is so strong that the corrupt cannot get their way. Looking at what the corrupt are trying to do to Trump is an absurdity. Those justices can't give the corrupt what they want. You need a corrupt media like Supreme Court for the Corrupt Washington political establishment to get its way through the Supreme Court. Unfortunately the corrupt don't have that.
TERM LIMITS...
SCOTUS is above the law and Biden is too weak to work towards fixing it.
Supreme JOKE
Nothing even vaguely humerous or ironic just sad and critically dangerous.
But, the main point of contention here is trump immunity v. Presidential immunity.
I hate to be a conspiracy buff but can't free myself from the thought that the trump team knew they could count on some sort of help from the supreme court. I listened to the whole proceeding and it was, at times, almost shameful. 'No-one is above the law" has been a bedrock of american law for almost 250 years, until suddenly it wasn't. Particularly the questions from Alito, but also from Gorsuch, were outrageous and cringeworthy.

They should have let the appeals court ruling stand!
Those conservative justices opened the door on this. They would have been far better off leaving this alone.

The Supreme Court has to tell Trump NO.!
Time to reform the supreme court. I have always had faith that they would do the right thing. This court is corrupt and never votes for the people. I can't even express just how ANGRY I am about this court.
They are up there trying to legislate. They are judges,not congress people!
Make sure you vote democratic at every election from now on!
how are they corrupt . they arent except for maybe kagen, stotty and jackson
@@jamesdouthat3999 Free vacations??? Gifts??? Those trump judges do whatever the 1%ers want.
I agree - and I'm embarrassed for the justices who aren't corrupt as having to work alongside the ones who very much are. I'm not only ANGRY as you put it, but dismally disheartened as well. It's a depressing state of affairs. .
They already got it wrong
What's the delay it's plain and simple put him in prison
The leader of my country should not need immunity because he did something criminal
Is Donald Trump calling them all five times a day to remind them of the kompromat he has on them, or what????
As a young woman I was glued to the TV during the watergate hearings understanding this would be a once in a lifetime event. Here we are not just again because what trump’s path is it not only overshadows it what I see is a dangerous step towards the end of our democracy, rule of law and our country as we know it.
Yes, and that was for a hotel break in. Trump tried to overturn an election in plain sight.
I watched them as well. It is almost impossible to remember that there existed GOP Senators like Lowell Weicker and Howard Baker who were appalled by what Nixon has done. And let us remember that it was no less than Barry Goldwater who told Nixon to his face the day before he resigned that resignation was his only choice.
So you realize that Nixon was ousted by the CIA then, correct?
Remember Sam Ervin, that colorful Senator who led the impeachment trial of President Nixon? Nixon decided to resign, rather than face a conviction. But Nixon didn't order the Watergate break-in. His crime was that he tried to cover it up.
Immunity... nobody is above the law.... not rocket science...but here we are...
This is a no-brainer. NO ONE IS IMMUNE.
The irony is that if the supreme court gives Trump what he wants, they are also giving Bidem the authority to do exacy what Trump wamted to do 🤔
That's why they'll wait until after the election to make a ruling.
@@billwalsh388
Biden remains president until January...long after election.
He'll probably win anyway....ha ha
They know this, of course. So they will wain until after the election and then rule against the con man.
You actually think Biden isn’t already planning on murdering trump ?
Hopefully if the Supreme Court gives him the authority he he has the backbone to use it to rid us of MAGA politicians and the criminals on the Supreme court. Then a new Supreme Court can reverse the decision.
Biden needs to give the order. Trump supports it.
It would be interesting if those two were on a debate stage & Biden could say in a jokey way, So would it be an official act if I had you killed?

Oh and the Rumpster reads them better? Uuuuuhhh Gettysburg was beautiful…..
@@kenc7120 At least Biden can read the teleprompter. Trump can't because he's ignorant of most words adults use. He sounds like a petulant 4th grader when he talks.
If a court is taking on a case, it behooves them that they MUST address that case. They aren't there to debate hypotheticals, except as consequences of a decision ON the case. They are there to determine the right or wrong of that specific case.
The things in that Supreme Court should not even think of what was mentioned in that court. Ever.
It's insane what the Conservative Supreme Court is contemplating.
The Biden administration cross dressers are insane but you libs that, so who’s insane? You wack job libs of course 😂
This affects more than the POTUS. EVERY member of Congress has the same immunity and SCOTUS too. Do you understand that? Obama got away with illegally killing US citizens in a drone strike. I'm sure you don't know that, and now that you do, you don't care. That's how your moral compass works.
And the “liberal” swamp metastasizing Supreme Court??
They aren't Conservative. They are Republican.
The president of our country is supposed to be someone the country looks up to.
Who wants their child to grow up to be like him.
Well Trump proves anyone can become president.
Of course you are talking about trump.
A disturbing amount of people, unfortunately.
NOBODY SANE!!!!
and who was the last president who fit this description? Certainly not Biden or Obama. Not either of the Bush's or Clinton. Maybe Reagan? Not Carter or Nixon or LBJ. Even with what we now know about the behind the scenes of the Kennedy's, you would probably have to go back to JFK to have a President who fits your description. They are all power hungry, greed hungry politicians. Doesnt matter what side of the aisle you are on. If you cant see this I dont know what to tell you. They dont care about us, they want more control and power.
And you forgot that they have erased 3 sections of the last Voting Rights bill.
Mr Ankush Khardori's comments are especially illuminating and I am enjoying the fresh perspectives from every panelist here.
It's distinctly chilling to consider that Mr Khardori may be right about President Biden needing to have begun a restructuring of the Supreme Court; that not to have done so will imperil our democracy, that we are losing the "guardrails" to our nation's ethos ala the other speaker Mr Marcus Childress.
🇺🇸
IMMUNITY? .... What ever happened to NOONE IS ABOVE THE LAW? 🤔
Gimmick regurgitated by an incompetent and weak Attorney General
I guess now we know what happened to Ancient Rome
Expand the Supreme Court to restore a non-political balance that represents the Nation.
Twenty-Four elders.
Criminal acts are not sanctioned by anyone under US laws or under International, treaties, or under the Heavens.
Extradition issues are debatable for tribunals for human right violations and alleged war crimes that must be acknowledged and adjudicated even if it is done in absentia. Yeah, and congress could make up some more voter's protections against criminal politicians/profiteers, presidential or not, later.
As it stands the defense has no standing, and the Supreme Court is not a legislative body, facts not fanciful ideological personal whims or hypothesis will excuse criminal behavior of someone they are indebted to, that does not appear to be bias attempts to aid the obstruction and abet the criminal defendant personally. The recusals by individual justices appointed by the criminal defendant, and personally invested in the outcome became obvious when they allowed the stay and delay, postponing adjudications.
The question of a military tribunal for an acting Commander and Chief of our military for example "a gross dereliction of duty" let's say after an Insurrection had been initiated the failure to respond to multiple requests for assistance and deployment, intentionally delaying the release of national guards that were waiting, as thousands of deceived patriots assaulted fellow patriots. We have much to learn and much to do to create the harmony we seek. May Honor and the whole truth uplift us all. In Love we trust, it will.
In my opinion
I'm hoping that the court gave the lawyers every opportunity to make valid logical arguments so when they completely trash them they can say "we heard the arguments but they just weren't convincing".
A criminal is trying to change anything🤔 concerning laws to commit murder😵💫
Like Madonna wanting to blow up the White House or Kathy Griffin holding the severed head of Trump? Or 🤔 all the others who threatened him. Asking for a friend 😷
Someone else said it best: Trump is not fighting because he's innocent: he's fighting to remain a criminal.
That would be that corrupt POS Joe Biden... everything they have thrown at Trump has failed, asssasination is the only option left
Unless Biden takes him out? Biden will have immunity first?
The justices to be required to have news press sessions for questions.
Who brings charges when the supreme court obstructs justice? Are they immune?
They ll get it right. The Constitution will guide them.
One very important way of stopping this scenario from ever happening again, is to create a definition of "lifetime" federal appointments! I suggest, 65 years of age (the end of your business life), or natural life, whichever comes first. This would eliminate anyone from sitting for decades, entrenched in exorbitant authority and power. VERY important to create immediately! On SCOTUS, that would immediately retire, Thomas 76, Alito 73, Roberts 69, and Sotomayor 69. Thank you for your service! Now go home!
SCROTUMAGA. So much for fairness and integrity!
How is that news guard rating holding up?
, the president is not immune to criminal prosecution for illegal actions committed with the imprimatur of executive power, whether private or “official” (a distinction that does not exist in the Constitution
Get it right? An elementary student with some understanding of America, would say it's a no Brainer...if the country is one of laws instead a monarchy then the leader must be an example of that, not exception to...
Got it wrong from the start. Any time clarence shows up - it's WRONG.
The only right answer would be no immunity
I thought I was watching a skit from SNL with these clowns.
The republican stacked SCOTUS court knows exactly what they were put in that position for, not realizing, that just as they were put there for a purpose ,the emperor can remove you as he please
No one is. About the law
Supreme court blew me away when they decided there was an argument to be heard in the first place. Presidents have had no need for immunity until now?
Ankush might be wrong about Ginny being a victim, but he's dead right about everything else, particularly Biden's historic failure to properly deal with this illegitimate Supreme Court. Looking forward to hearing more from him.
Hey, THEY stepped in it, now they’ve gotta clean it up. They’d better be quick.
💩
Horrible 😞 horrible that's all I can say 😭.
I understand the concern here. But theres no way the Supreme Court sides with Trump's team on this. There is Partisan and there is suicidal. Even they are not radical enough to be incapable of seeing how absurd and damaging saying Trump is immune would be.
😮😮😮 ok keep thinking that" a MAGA Supreme Court will do anything to save their master
I sure hope so
@@Wednesdayschild1325 Please remember that the Court, including all three Trump Justices, rebuffed every lawsuit brought by Trump and his allies seeking to overturn the result of the 2020 election.
They'll do what ever Ginni tells Clarence to do.
I agree that they won’t decide for immunity. Their main goal was to delay and make a big show of pretending this is a matter for the ages. All they needed to do was answer the question of Trump’s claims of immunity. I’m livid.
4 unnamed indicted Arizona is one of them married to a supreme Court Justice?
When are discussions going to start on impeachment of Thomas, Aleto and others ?
He learned that little trick from Putin.
Come on, I think Agnew and Nixon made a deal to resign rather than be prosecuted. They took the deal.
I'm curious about why they are discusing hypothetical situations in a court. A court decides on cases put before it, not on an endless procession of "what ifs?", each sillier than the last. This only calls into question the integrity, competence, and seriousness of the court itself.
A question I would have had for Mr. Sauer, "If everything is 'hypothetical' then why are you here?"
The response to Justice Sotomayor should have been that the president would pursue the rule of law if he thought his rival was a corrupt person.
Goodbye SCOTUS you are about to become irrelevant and lost
"The Supreme Court is hoping it gets it ‘right’" - "right" in *what* sense exactly?
What does the Constitution say… there is no immunity for the President.
