"Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Trump lawyer John Sauer had a stunning exchange over whether presidential immunity covers the assassination of political rivals during Thursday’s Supreme Court hearing.
Sauer had previously argued that under certain circumstances, a president could order Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival and not face prosecution, at an appeal hearing on former President Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity."

Today: America is sounding INSANE with this argument. 🤮
America sounds pretty normal, actually, because America is a monarchy, not a republic.
To commit TREASON is NOT AN OFFICIAL ACT!!!! IT IS TREASON.
No one has been charged with treason or insurrection.
@@dennislove96 mueller report returned nothing that would substantiate your claim
“Absolute power (and immunity) corrupts absolutely”
Absolutely ❤❤
She asked the wrong question, she should if asked, 'If the President finds members of this court, the Supreme Court to be corrupt and threat to this nation. Does he have the right to order the military to execute Supreme Court Justices and declare it an official act so he can't not prosecuted for doing it?'
Trump lawyer argues for presidential immunity. He brings up these three examples. 1. Bush lied to congress to induce war with Iraq. 2. Obama ordered drone strikes to kill U.S. citizens abroad. 3. Biden induced foreigners to enter the U.S. illegally.
BUILD BACK BETTER 🤡
They're not as smart as us regular peons. They can't think of questions that would trap the defendant. They only think with their donors' interests in mind, not curiosity or logic. They're sellouts.
If they agree with Trump; does that give Biden the right to get rid of Trump for good?
Why yes it does.
Yep
I have a better solution.
If I was Biden, I would put the secret service and the capitol police in the court room and advise the SCOTUS that if they decide that the president is immune from prosecution when it's an official duty... as soon as they side with total immunity on all circonstances to save Trump... the justices who voted for it would be immediately arrested on corruption charges and put in jail for the rest of their lives.
I wonder if they would vote for that knowing what is waiting for them.
And I would personally do it in an heartbeat. Trump appointed the partisan judges who are ruling on his case, they should have recused themselves, if not it proves they are corrupted and are totally partial.
Then I would appoint 3 un corrupted justices and let the justice system deal with Trump if he's guilty or not that's up to the court system.
Comment section WILD with those urging a political assassination
@@sonjakozman1699 Back in January it was Trump's attorneys who stated political assassination by the president was fine. "Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.
The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons."
If the president's immune, the president's immune. And Biden happens to be the president. So the answer is YES, Biden could order the assassination of his political rivals without consequences. Biden could issue pardons for anyone who carried out said assassinations without consequences. Biden could order the assassination of any member of Congress who even whispered the word "impeachment" without consequences. Biden could stage a coup without consequences. Do you see how stupid the "absolute immunity" argument is?
What if they rule in favor of Trump and grant him full immunity. Then Biden uses the ruling to order an air strike on Trump’s exact location🤣🤣🤣
That might well be why the court is putting off the decision.
Lmao!
As an African where dictatorship is an everyday song...i am strongly all Democrats to vote Trump out and never smell the Whitehouse again...coz tht shit stinks
Trump's lawyer is a clown.
A complete idiot.
No he's not. He's very dangerous and is twisting the law to fight for immunity for a wannabe dictator-- and obviously convincing many people in the processs. We must take this guy seriously. So much is at stake.
You have to be a clown, to defend a clown
Thank you, Ms Sotomayor for fighting for
Our democracy from the dictator and his wolves!!!
This is sooooo crazy that the supreme court cant simply answer straight away that presidents cannot commit murder.as a European im just giving up on america
I don't blame you. I'm American and I've given up too.😮💨
The President should not be immune from any law, whether he is acting officially or not.
I can’t even believe that trump or anyone else would even feel entitled enough to even suggest having absolute immunity.
Every single one of the SCOTUS justices need to vote unanimously NO ! hELL No!
He's filing for his dictator's permit. What a world.
That sounds like a fair way of putting it.👍🇺🇸
Right people don't understand what Trump is trying to do
Does this mean Biden can smoke trump? 😂
Exactly.
Yep, like a blunt.
Like a pork butt...
Precisely my thoughts. ...and, and judges...
A lot of assassination p0rn in the comments
The lawyers should pose this question to the judges "if Donald Trump as President does not like one of your previous rulings and decide to assassinate one of you, should he be immune from prosecution?" i would love to hear what their response would be
Trump told the Supreme Court to give him powers to kill his opponent! Trump wants to be another Putin😂👍
I wish the Justice had asked Trump lawyer this instead: "So, by asking the court to rule that the president has absolute immunity, you are saying that Mr Biden, the current president can effectively deem his direct political rival, your client Mr Donald Trump, a corrupt figure (not hard to argue after all he did) and order his assassination, we should not prosecute him because he has absolute immunity?" This is the real question she should ask him. I wonder what would be his response.
That is exactly what biden is doing with all these circus trials with his rival..wake up leftie
The trial can move along faster if trump would stop the delay tactic. AZ will be convicting some of trump faked election fraud denier. If trump had any moral or character he be in this situation.
A court that doesn't make decisions. How heroic.
Regarding Trump and his lawyer seeking total immunity for any act, including assassinating a political opponent.
I want the Justices to ask the lawyer “So, it would be totally acceptable for Biden to take out Trump then?”
Or Trump's attorney! 😲
@@ashleybishop7248 both
Or sitting members of SCOTUS
Amen!
When the lawyer said yes to the question . The next question should have been “What would happen if Biden did exactly that?” And watch the acrobatics begin
Bingo.
With that logic Biden can do that to Trump then.
Thomas had no business hearing this case and should have recused himself as his wife Ginny was involved in the J6 insurrection.
Where is the evidence?
What a sick joke SCOTUS has become
Why does he need immunity if he didn't do anything wrong? Doesn't this argument admit he knows he did something criminal?
Try watching the entire argument given to SCOTUS and what all judges asked and presented to all lawyers instead of asking what you just did ?
@@mollymarcone3033 or it's just because he's a crooked piece of trash and you don't need to watch anything after hearing him speak
He has IMMUNITY. That's not what he is asking for... It was CHUTKIN who said, "He does not have immunity," so she did not read the laws right. And what a philosophical question that SCOTUS will have to wrestle with in determining (motive/intent) for official or private acts. The left has no problem dismantling a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC for a JUDICIAL one. look at who the front players are. Black folk! They will be the blame because, all through history, they are the easiest to be fooled into doing foolish things.
I can't believe the Supreme Court is playing games like this it's embarrassing.
If they rule the president has total immunity then biden should send seal team six after trump lol
If they ruel that, then we're heading to a Civil War
Germany 1930s wish they had the opportunity again to stop Hitler and here we have America history repeats itself
If Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump, Biden can have Seal Team 6 take out Trump, MTG, Gaetz, Comer,, Clarence Thomas, Roberts, Aliota, Jim Jordan and Biden can say it wasto preserve democracy.
Oh wow, if we give the president absolute immunity, then we just made them a king, the irony 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
The Republicans are electing a king , while many of them talk about the 'constitution' freedom, all those things fought for in rebellion from a monarchy who ignored those freedoms.😂
@@snapdragon9300the right wing is stupid .
Yes, Trump will have his dream of being a dictator and I have no doubt he would act on his immunity. He has low morals and lots of anger and hate! I can't imagine anyone would give him free Reign! This is so wrong. The Republicans are supposed to be the "moral" majority. How can they possibly approve of that? How will the evangelicals justify that?
How did we get to this miserable point?
Ask the people who wanted to burn it all down so they voted in Trump. A known psychopathic conman who turned out to have fascistic aims so nominated three Supreme Court justices to make his dreams come true. They knew what he was and didn't care. Anyone who says they didn't is a liar.
I do remember during Biden’s State of the Union it looked like he was threatening the Chief Justice’s.
@@NonyaSmithif the media actually did their job and fact checked Biden you would know just how much Biden lies.
@@chodkowski01 Try to be serious.
President Biden, if you are listening ,you can do all what Trump did to stay in power.
Joe Biden should address the nation tonight and say this:
"Now that there is a very real possibility I have unlimited powers, and can do whatever I want, I will be using these powers to appoint a brand new Supreme Court, and thank the former justices for their duty."
Can anything be done about a corrupt SCOTUS?
That's what I HATE and find Appauling about The USA Judicial System, that "they" have Laws that a President can Pardon himself from Prosecution, even tho he's Guilty as HELL!! That's Absurd!!
Bring back common sense
This argument is pathetic .
AKA Dictatorship
Lifetime appointments can be a double edged sword.
I want to know why the only president, or ex president, is the one that feels he needs presidential immunity is that one that is trying to stay out of prison.
My question is why all this crap is going on first before a trial has even taken place. When have you ever heard of an ordinary people who is allege to have murdered another person have this many Supreme Court hearing??? Let the process play out and then invoke your right to try to appeal the decision that the people have decided that person was guilty!
This is the appeal
@@debbiedeering7998 No it’s not the appeal! They skipped that portion. haven’t you haven’t bern paying attention?
I believe the Judges already know the best answers to ALL these questions and some responses are political!🧐🇺🇸
These judges are robotic morons who think their smart and educated its all about placating the trump zombies and their evil this is not a fair and balanced court proceeding its an attempt to get this weasel off from his crimes.
He literally argued that Biden could do that to Trump and be immune. Hillarious!
Scotus are just cowards
Imagine you’re Trump’s attorney and you’re standing before the Supreme Court and arguing that Trump has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. Your whole reason for being there is to delay the trial.
The SCOTUS will rule in Trump's favor, saying that "Trump is not a real politician, anyway, and thus he is not eligible for the full extent of a law that applies only to politicians". Or some other cr@p along these lines.
"Is your client not concerned that a favorable ruling by this court would put your client's life at risk?"
No he isn't, because Biden is honourable. Sadly.
Please vote blue up and down the ballot. There is no cavalry coming to save us. We have to be our own cavalry.
Might be the first psychotic lawyer to argue a Supreme Court case.
We need to put an end to presidential appointment of justices and have them stand for election in competitive races. Every 7 years.
how about every president gets to select one new justice
@@wipeoutxl21 I mean it'd be better than what we have, but i'd still want them to be reconfirmed by vote in a year or 2. That's the rule here in Florida.
For me the ideal is more toward the Roman model. Have all the appellate judges rotate into it for a seven-year term. Take them by the order of their inauguration. And have the appellate judges nominated by a pair of former Presidents who both have to agree. Those were called Censors and were elected by the Senate for 5-year terms. There were lots of former "presidents" to choose from because they elected 2 each year and then at the end of the 1-year term they had to be off for 10 years before they could serve again.
The censors' principal duty (besides assessing property taxes) was to rebalance the Senate twice every five years based on census figures, but since the Senate contained all the judges, the Censors also effectively chose the judges. By keeping this responsibility away from the head of state, they enforced a greater dispersal of powers than we have today. Also there 2 Tribunes who were popularly elected each year to serve for a year, whose sole duty was to review records and veto any action they disapproved of. So each Tribune had veto power over every judicial appointment.
And the Senators had the sole power to remove judges for cause, not by 2/3 but by a simple majority, and not only for conviction of a crime but for any reason the Senators saw fit.
It’s so disgusting what’s going on in our country, fckng depressing
What do you expect from a trump's lawyer?
They need to present the example where the Supreme Court Justices might be the target of a sitting president. Hows that sit?
A Dictator won't need a Court higher than his own authority, they're actually voting to keep their jobs.
So Biden should take out trump now lmao
Just like god took out your hair
Clarence Thomas: “How much money you got on you?”
So, Biden can do that as well!!!!!😊
Trump's team achieved its objective: DELAY.
Suggesting that political assassinations are OK is OBSCENE!
This is ridiculous that anyone that he has committed! He needs to be accountable!🤡
The very notion that anyone can "pardon themselves" is completely insane to begin with. America really has a dumb system.
It appears to me, that there has been a coup d'etat, but it has been done slowly & covertly: right in front of our faces (if that makes sense). The current SCOTUS has become the most corrupt court in history.
Wait... isn't him even ASKING ABOUT IMMUNITY AN ADMISSION OF GUILT? Like he's basically saying I committed all these crimes Im accused of, but i should have presidential immunity.. HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW.. END OF CASE....WTF?????
What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?
A DEMOCRACY, if we can keep it...Ben Franklin.
"It's my official duty to stage a coup" That's what this is, and worse. The world has to be laughing at us right now.
So, can Biden just go ahead and get rid of all outstanding student loans? If he isn't going to be prosecuted for it as an official act, he should/would be able to speak it into fruition.
Executive orders, proclamations and the like aren't illegal. The SC can rule them unconstitutional as they've done with MANY executive orders in the past, but issuing them is NOT ILLEGAL.
Now Biden can take out trumpty dumpty
Why is this a shocker that trump's attorney--it is far from the first time they have had outrageous ideas !!!!
Hypothetical is not. Remember Mike Pence 6 Jan? What would have happened to him if the insurrectors got to him?
This is how it started in Germany when the justice system went to the dark side here we go again.😆
Imagine this works and then Biden just goes "Trump is a danger TAKE HIM OUT"
My thought exactly. Maybe this is why they want to kick it into the long grass so Biden can't do that?
Anna says Cenk is too cynical, I think she’s too trusting that these republicans will do the right thing… get it
Enough.
Nov. 21, 2018 After *Criminal Defendant Trump* disparages a judge who ruled against the administration in an asylum dispute as an “Obama judge,”
Chief Justice Roberts issues a rare and striking response that begins, “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”
I agree with Cenk. Garland sat on his hands for 2.5 years. I’ve been POd with Merrick too. For years!!!
Allito & Thomas should be removed by some legal means because they are not fit for the bench!!🙏
yes, but how?
Not just Trump but other who will be the president of this country. We need justice for all.
Anna, you live in La-la land. Remember, this is the guy who wants to be a dictator on day 1.
😂What if the President dismisses all the Republican Judges, reconstitutes the Supreme Court, will he get immunity ? If yes, President Biden can go ahead.
Biden doesn’t have the power to dismiss them, but with immunity he can get Seal Team 6 to disappear them
How is a president's immunity to criminal prosecution even being discussed here??? This should be an open and shut case. I think if they rule that Trump has immunity (therefore, all presidents have immunity), Biden should put Trump in Gitmo, never to be heard from again. The American people (most of them) would thank him.
And while he’s at it he should get rid of alito and Thomas as well
Hahaha. No common sense in you comment.
I wish he could be held in contempt for that horrible voice.
Given the fact that he hasn't faced any real consequences to date, if president again, he will 100000% become completely unhinged (even more), especially with a conservative supreme court defending anything he does, including murder
After this it will be clear that the Supreme Court needs to and will be EXPANDED.
I agree with Cenk. The reason we're here right now with little or no time left before the election to prosecute Donald Trump?? Merrick Garland. The man was playing tiddly-winks when he first got into office instead of immediately investigating/indicting Donald Trump. Thanks a pantload, Garland. You will go down in history as being the gooiest marshmallow attorney general America has ever had...
It sounds like Biden can just call up SEAL team
6...
Donald trump actually believes that every president needs to overlook OUR Constitution, the guidebook, the barometer for civility and justice for ALL citizens. donald trump thinks presidents need to commit crimes with immunity and impunity in order to run OUR Country. I don’t know if I want to live in a country anymore that the leader adheres to and supports criminal activity and is supported by so many people whose own rights he wants to completely strip away. Where and when and how would it stop?
Total revolt among the working class.
Exactly. He has already said he wants to be a dictator (and if anyone thinks it would “only” be for one day, they’re smoking fairy dust), and I will not live in a dictatorship. I plan to leave the country if he’s re-elected, and I’m certainly not the only one.
@@kgs2280 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS EXCHANGE.
@@kgs2280c-yuh lmao
Is this for real? Why did Nixon resign then, it makes no sense. Trump's lawyer must lose his licence.
I will be VOTING for Biden , to save him from seal team six .
So Biden can do it as well😂
Yeah, Biden might want to free up some spaces on the SJC, or extend his majority in the Senate.
Hope Biden takes advantage of the ruling.
Way to call out Merrick Garland on this Cenk!
It's time to RISE UP.....
Trump thinks he has immunity like the Queen or King of Great Britain. 😂😂
Truly Dark Brandon may have to make an appearance, if "Immunity" is granted to Trump!! 😎
If a President has this type of immunity, then any order said President would give would NOT be illegal. Therefore those under Presidential command would be required to carry out that order
This is your Daily PSA, "the president of the US is supposed to be closer to a bum, than a king"
This is insane.
*The Roadmap to Dictatorship is being drawn right in front of our eyes😅😅😅.*
The act was not in response with a Senate approval for an official act.
He cannot interpret laws.
Trump lawyer’s voice sounds like Skeletor.
I think he sounds like he's talking through a fan...🤷🏻♀️
Lord, help us all. This is insanity.
Amen. Lord help us all. Keep trump out the WH please.
What country are we living in again?
It used to be the United States of America.
Now it's the Corporate States of Israel.
And If Trump gets back into the White House, it'll be the Corporate States of Anarchy.
Biden - Hey seal team 6 stand back and stand by LOL!
Considering how slow the US court system works he could do it and he'll be 99 by the time it goes to court.
Isn’t Alito the one that said they don’t want to hear any facts about the trump case?
Isn’t that why they’re there? This feels wrong ALL WRONG. , and like they’re carrying trump’s water!
