- After the last scheduled oral argument in this U.S. Supreme Court term, host Emma Wulfhorst gets insight from Professor Wayne Unger, Assistant Professor of Law at Quinnipiac University. A term of controversial cases, the last argument leaving the bench with more major constitutional questions. Unger explains some of the law principles at play and what some are calling the ‘parade of horrible hypotheticals’ like presidential pardons and coups regarding the former president Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity in his criminal prosecution for election interference. Discussing claims that these Justices are the most ‘radical’ or ‘political’ in addition to history of the highest court Unger talks through how they might find precedent in the unprecedented.

The whole theory behind Smith’s charges that Trump was deliberately trying to stay in power unlawfully or mount a coup is bizarre. As an ordinary citizen I don’t see anything like this in his conduct. No, this is sheer politics and banana republic.
Yes, funny how he left the Whitehouse on the 20th just like he was supposed to.
Smith doesn't even have legal standing to be prosecuting this case.
you're joking. trump incited the riot, and has lied about the election ever since. tried to get Georgia's AG to "find 11,780 votes, you can say you recounted," please remember that Trump's AG, Barr investigated the fraud claims and said that they were "BULLSHIT." this is the same Barr who wrote a summary of the Muller report, exonerating trump before he finished reading it.
@@gojobuddy ...after a shitload of illegal activity, all of which was recorded and half of which was admitted to during interviews; and Secret Service would've forcibly removed him if he didn't leave, anyway. XD
The hoops ya'll jump through are awkward.
Yes you are right all this is bias and. Political which is illigal with our constitution and Bill of rights .. People are finally waking up to the truth. PRESIDENT TRUMP is innocent of all these accusations. He is innocent and will be in person PRESIDENT 24. THE RINOS and FAR LEFT MARXIST WILL BE TRIED
Consider the following: Crimes committed outside being President are still prosecutable.
Then we go back to every president and press charges.
Who decides what those are? Currently, it's Trump's political opponents who are trying to decide that. How convenient is it that the ones who stand the most to gain from keeping Trump out of office are the same ones who are trying to decide that he committed crimes they've devised under their "novel legal theories?"
How convenient is it that the ones who stand the most to gain from keeping T out of office are the same ones who are trying to devise "novel legal theories" about whether he committed offenses while in office?
@@jeffashcraft2388 Didn't you understand my opening post? In part: "Crimes committed outside being President...".
@@jeffashcraft2388 'If' Trump has committed crimes before and/or after being President, then he should not have committed the crimes if he didn't want to be punished.
What if a president or former president does the bribing? What law says any official can’t dispute an election? If that is the case, go after Clinton, Gore and Abrams as well!
They will be held accountable to the one that's over all courts and they will have to stand before the court themselves and that's the one they going to have to fear because they going to be held accountable for what they are doing that is lawlessness
Are you serious? Jesus said render unto Caesar what is Caesar and render unto God that is God's. Im pretty sure God isn't gonna be concerned about mans laws. good try though
God will judge the laws of man and how the LEOs acted with them. Even those of the church will be held responsible for thier vote . @jeffashcraft2388
How you don't hear how incredibly insane you sound is beyond all rationale, and I only believe in one less deity than you.
@@jeffashcraft2388tou have rhat wrong. GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN THE EVIL THAT IS GOING AROUND DISTROYING SOULS OF ALL PEOPLE AND NATIONS. ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA AND ISREAL WE BOTH HAVE A ONCENT WITH GOD. ISREAL WITH MOSES. AND OUR FOREFATHERS ALSO IN A NEW YORK CHURCH THAT STILL STANDS TODAY..MADE A CONVENT ON THEIR KNEES AND GAVE AMERICA TO GOD. WHEN WE AGAIN ARE WITH GOD WE WILL BE A STEPPING STONE FOR ALL OTHER NATIONS TO FOLLOW. INCLUDING OUR ENEMIES. IF PEOPLE OF ANY NATION DOES NOT EXCEPT GOD WE HAVE A CHOICE THEN GOD WON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DEVIL THAT ROAMS AROUND IN PEOPLE GET DISTROYED BY EVIL. AMEN. I PRAY ALL PEOPLE REPENT TO GOD AND CHANGE THEIR WAYS. ESPECIALLY WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION AND OTHERS IN POWER TRYING TO GET GOD OUT OF OUR REPUBLIC AMERICA. THIS WILL. NOT HAPPEN ALSO PRESIDENT TRUMP 24
In Federalist #57 Madison argued that the legislature “can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates that communion of interest and sympathy of sentiment of which few governments have furnished examples, but without which every government degenerates into tyranny. “
Federalist 59 & 60 also speak of electors and what kind of process could apply when electors were late or disputed. The courts clearly didn’t want to deal with Hamilton or Madison as all this haranguing is a clown show.
You get what you vote for, you can not sue the person you voted for the damage you suffered due to his actions. You have to vote wisely
Alito and Thomas want to retire under Republican president.😢
Both equally Criminal.
Unless Nikki Haley is elected, they won't be getting their way.
Even after weaponizing the federal government and attacking him with the DOJ, the FBI, crooked prosecutors, crooked judges, and the liberal media Trump's still beating the bark off of Biden in every poll. That's how badly Biden sucks! FJB

A president must have immunity, no question! Should be common sense
I think that President Trump should be that He has full immunity !😮😂
Constitution basically says so
If they vote for immunity, why must it necessarily have to be grandfathered? If they vote for immunity, shouldn't that presidential status be applied only to future presidents and not past ones? Especially given the stance taken by some of these justices that this is about changing the status of presidents and not necessarily about Trump (Alito). Not considering it as something that would take effect AFTER the ruling (instead of winding it back four years ago) strikes me as specious and ridiculous. The elephant in the room, an orange one, is being strategically ignored even though the entire thing is about the protection of that very elephant who brought it before them. If they vote for immunity and Biden wins,, Biden could hypothetically have the military poison Trump or throw him in the slammer indefinitely and be immune from any wrongdoing. Not that he'd do that, but think where such a ruling might lead us in this country in its current state.
I don't get what you mean. If it's immunity he can't and what for.
That’s only doing duties as a president. That would not include Biden taking money from China, the Ukraine etc
How many of these high justices have a lot of dirt?..how is this not Biased when someone else has ahold of your peek card..
How is the case in New York unbiased when all of these people prosecuting him are democrats and contributed to Joe Biden?
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Concerning Presidential Immunity: Kind of like a choose your own adventure. In a system of 'self governance' what do we, individually and as a society of individuals choose?
a. A single person who has possibly the most power and authority on this Earth and is completely immune from all prosecution. If so, that is the path the nation would go down.
b. No person is above the law, not even a sitting US President. A law in a small town is just as valid as the US Constitution. The law is the law. A sitting US President violates even a small town's law, the US President is held accountable for their crime. If so, that is the path the nation would go down.
c. Some line in between the 2 extremes. Whatever and wherever that line is, that would be the path the nation would go down.
* So, what path do we, individually and as a society of individuals, want to go down? Only 1 single path is allowed. Not choosing and one is automatically chosen for us, whatever system we have is the system we have. If we choose, what path do we choose? How exactly do we, individually and as a society of individuals, want to exist while we do exist? We do have choices especially in a system of 'self governance'.
QUESTIONS: US President acting within being President:
a. A terrorist is in a foreign city, and there are even American citizens in that foreign city, and the US President bombs that city to take out the terrorist, BUT many American citizens and Foreign citizens are no longer with the living. That would be okay? And sure, the foreign nation would most probably want to retaliate. But okay from the US President's perspective?
b. Now another hypothetical: A terrorist is in a domestic US city filled with many American citizens, no other foreign citizens are in that city. The US President bombs that city to take out the terrorist but many American citizens are no longer with the living. That would be okay?
Is there a magic number as to how many American citizens can be taken out so as to take out even a single terrorist? And even if there is, would it matter to a US President who was just 'acting within their job description' of taking out terrorists?
The reason the founders chose impeachment over prosecution was because they foresaw it being used on every president and then down to the common man. The founders felt this would hinder the government and make it accountable to the common person who had the most money or power such as George soros. If every president had to go through what is being attempted on Trump then that president would kiss a@@ to the powerful lobbyists and industry or corporations and wouldn't rule for us
End the lobbying

I like this professor. No matter how many times the interviewer tried to make the conversation political and tried to smear the court, he kept it very neutral and discussed the law and facts impartially. A rarity these days from academia.
There should be Full Presidential Immunity which it should be which if not it would be a bad Precedence !😊
They're not radical. They are adhering to the constitution

Their should be a 8 year term limit on congress. After eight years as serving as senator your done. At that time state representatives would be voted in as senators and senator on congress would be voted into the house, and those not voted in are out and go home.
Term limits, 100%. We should not having folks sitting in there for 40-50 years! That includes all staff and those appointed by the president

The only thing is he hasn’t been charged for anything.
You seem to missing the point, that's why we have impeachment then criminal charges
God is speaking immunity for p. Trump
No crimes were committed! Both commenters need to read Scalia on what an originality IS. Originalism is plain, normal interpretation. For instance, in a recent case the word “otherwise” was clearly abused by the prosecution and the attorney was “pinned” by the actual meaning in context. Obstruct, impede etc. At least the legal mind made an extraordinary effort to be fair- “alleged”….
12-29-1968 to 04-29-2024. Who set us up?
OH WELL! WE HAD LAWS AND RULES ALL THE WAY UP TO BIDEN!
He can simply decide not to leave office and these conservatives judges seem to want to allow it! People went to prison for following the this presidents prefers

Today is April 29, 2024. Why is this coming up now?
Clearly this guy is not trying to persuade anybody. He is a hyper porterson Democrat Lawyer. given his outlook of Donald Trump. In a very negative light. But this is normal for democratic news media. Keep up the good work, follow fox.
This is actually simple!!!! I don’t appreciate the laughing of these two people

Only when they don’t lean left!
Corruption would be siding with the left on every issue regardless of the law. Which is what you guys want.
The Democrats soooo desperately want a conviction so that they can say Donald trump's a convicted felon! Of course, it will be overturned on appeal, but that doesn't matter the election will be over and their puppet Biden will get another term in office. All of their attempts to destroy Trump have backfired so far & I hope this one does too! FJB
Democrats = corruption
@@ozzieman4392
Exactly
All past pos are quilty too!!!! Go get them too!!!
What about impeachment
Keep in mind if Trump is not immune that neither is Biden or Obama so be prepared for them to be prosecuted immediately 😂😂😂
But Michael already stated to the supreme justices that Obama would not be held liable. Because it was not his intent, and he didn’t physically fly the drone. Michael special council is trying to adapt the constitution that it will only apply to President Trump and the Jan riots.
Ok. What crimes have they committed?
And if he is granted immunity so are they and guess who's in charge right now??
King Biden
If Trump's lawyer's argument wins, I think Biden should make an "official act" of getting rid of Trump. What will you all do then?
Help me out here. We had a president that lost the presidential election, this same president hired/asked a right winged militant group to force their way into the Capitol to overturn the electoral college vote by force and if need be causing bodily harm to the VP and SPOTH.
A congressional hearing was convened, the result of this hearing found the president’s and his staff responsible for the attack on the Capitol. The federal prosecutor’s office proceeded with the indictment of this same president. This same president then filled an appeal for immunity for the attack on the Capitol, the 11th DC circuit court of appeals denied the appeal for immunity.
Now this same president sent this appeal to the SCOTUS, and now the SCOTUS is going to determine if this same president is either innocent or guilty without hearing any evidence in this case? Is this what’s going on here?
Clearly you are shifting facts to your view.
That's quite a load of fairytale and bs
@@mangotheskypuppy7903
For many years I watched FOX 24 hrs a day, until Trump came on scene, When the Democrats started to say stuff about Trump, I couldn't believe the lies I was hearing. Trump couldn't be that f@$ked up. I live in Wyoming, and when Liz Cheney voted to impeach Trump I didn't vote for her reelection. So I did my own research, read books, watched the congressional hearings, downloaded the transcripts, read all the indictments, I managed to watch the opposing networks.
What made me so upset I was so loyal to FOX I only believed what FOX was putting out, I knew nothing of Trump. Now that I learned the Truth, Trump needs to be locked up, like right now.
If you have not watched the congressional hearings, don't bother replying. I know FOX and Trump were saying its nothing but lies put out by the democrats, "witch hunt" I believed is what they called it. But the truth is every witness that testified in the Congressional hearing were Trump followers, every one of the witnesses voted for Trump. Please find the truth yourself
@@mangotheskypuppy7903 For years I had FOX NEWS on 24 hours a day on my tv, until Trump came on scene. FOX was telling the lies the democrats were saying about Trump. I thought there’s noway Trump is that screwed up. I live in Wyoming and I even voted against Cheney because she voted to impeach Trump. Well now I had to find out the out the Truth, remember I was only listening to FOX. I read books, watched the Congressional Hearings, read the transcripts, read all the indictments.
Why I’m upset with myself is that I fell into the spin cycle of FOX that I never knew Trump. Throughout his presidency I was believing everything FOX was saying and all this time FOX was lying to me. I’m a republican, even though I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 I still respected the office of president regardless of who’s president.
If you haven’t watched the congressional hearings, please do not reply. I know Trump and Fox were calling the hearings a “witch hunt” ran totally by the democrats, NOT true. Every witness that testified against trump were republicans that voted for Trump. In these hearings you will find the truth if the elections were stolen or not. Not by watching the hearings, the only person you're lying to is yourself. Know the truth, what’s wrong knowing the truth about Trump.
You notice I didn’t attack Trump, I want you to find out for yourself .
@@jeffashcraft2388 Shifting what facts, there's a saying - there are no two sides of the facts.

235 years it’s been fine. Leave it alone. Our presidents should have immunity in or and after they leave office of things they did while in office. Can’t punish somebody after the fact, and make up laws as you go.
235 years presidents have always knew they could be held accountable for their actions. Why is this a problem for only Trump? Is he better than you? Whether you think he commited crimes or not, let's say he did. He orders someone to kill someone. If you did it, your ass goes to prison or death penalty. Your logic says he gets away with it scot free. You ok with that?
Can’t punish somebody after the fact? That doesn't make sense.
