Supreme Court debating if Trump can be prosecuted for actions in office
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2024
- The Supreme Court is weighing Donald Trump’s immunity case after arguments Thursday. Justices will decide not only if Trump can be prosecuted for his actions as president, but how the law should apply to all future presidents. The claim of absolute immunity is one that both liberal and conservative justices seemed poised to reject.

No one is above the law
I wouldn't say that Hillary, Obama, Biden, Schumer, etc. they are above the Law, Stop hating on one person, this is unbelievable.
@@josephinefreeman5145 looks like a Tu quoque fallacy.
Or below the law, either.
@@josephinefreeman5145 You're completely wrong. Those people are not criminals, did not commit any crime. You fell for Trump's lies.
Trump is the criminal.
Trump is dangerous.
Don't change the subject.
Focus.
Trump has committed crimes and needs to be brought to justice. If you think justice is hate, then you have a serious problem. Justice is necessary.
@@josephinefreeman5145 They're not. There just hasn't been evidence they broke the law.
What ever happened to that Biden impeachment? To that mysterious informant of theirs? Have they found jack squat yet?
Why in the world would anybody be exempt from punishment if they commit a serious crime or any crime y? Is that fair?
Then Obama, Bush and Biden will be prosecuted as well.
Right!.... They have to send Trump to prison. In the future a Republican president must send these former presidents to prison: Bill Clinton; Obama and Bush; Biden because thousands of innocent people died because of these presidents.
But yet Biden gets away with stealing our money for his own agendas.
Because some folks in our country think you have to be above the law to do your job as president.
If that is true, checks and balances has ceased to be a thing.
Because he put 3 of the high court fascist tools in place for life?
This is not a real argument. The constitution is clear that no one is above the law. Period. End of discussion.
The SCOTUS decision should be a unanimous NO, a president does NOT have absolute immunity. The GOP appointed SCOTUS justices are an 'imminent' threat to the constitution and democracy.
How did that 14 amendment thing work out for you?
@@bobcob3362 News flash: barring someone from running for office and holding them criminally accountable are not the same thing.
If you're gonna gotcha someone, do it properly.
@dennischiu272 so that 14th amendment thing didn't work out the way you claimed it would, but this time it's different? Lol. You Tube lawyers are funny.
@@bobcob3362 Did you even read OP's comment or are you just here to spew talking points.
No one is above the law. No immunity.
Tell that to the democrats who lie to congress, and the people of America
Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman ...ring a bell?

Debating whether or not a President has the right to run a criminal enterprise. Think about that.
yeah that Biden is awful
@@arky5610 How's the weather in Moscow, Arky?
The GOP appointed SCOTUS justices are an 'imminent' threat to the constitution and democracy.
Why cant Biden be sued by the families of the Marines killed in the Afgan withdrawal?
@@arky5610 🤡
Nothing hard about this decision. Total immunity, NO.
I agree 100%. The fact that the Supreme Court granted his wish to allow a delay in trials and has not given a clear and concise answer after collecting evidence just indicates that they are bought and paid for. Even arguments that happened this week didn’t directly address the fact that Donald Trump attempted to arrange a military coup then ultimately a clandestine coup! It just shows how corrupt the Supreme Court actually is. It’s shameful.
"Supreme Court debating if diaper-wearing man can be a criminal who kills people on a whim." Disgusting that this is even in court.
The GOP appointed SCOTUS justices are an 'imminent' threat to the constitution and democracy.
Without presidential immunity just think how many lawsuits Joe Biden is going to get hit with
NOBODY, NOBODY IS ABOVE THR LAW...MR. ALITO..
What's next make him king? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, WE THE PEOPLE!
King Trump 🤴 2024! MAGA 🥰 Save the Children. Save America 🇺🇸. MAGA 🥰
What about the Clinton's and the Biden's ...they seem to get away with all kinds of white collar crimes in front of your face and you don't want to see it because it will burst the little bubble you live in...Trump being prosecuted on everything but the JFK Assassination is equal justice? You really can't be that ignorant./..

Anyone needing unlimited immunity is automatically unfit to hold that office
Or believing they have it.
Name the crimes
@@coolazul-ic9km They are listed on Hunters laptop .
His base only wants him to be granted immunity because they know he's guilty.
No. We want him to set a precedent for the real criminals 😂 like Bush, Clinton, Obama, and Biden.
Ah… Obama ordered a drone strike in Iraq that killed an entire family in a vehicle. Hit the wrong target. Is he immune from prosecution or is it just Trump that you don’t want to have immunity??😂 the scotus will side with Trump !! As they should!!
Guilty of what?
@@coolazul-ic9kmHurting our feelings 😞😞😞😞😞😡😡😡
0:12 We had 44 presidents that didn't need immunity. I think future presidents will be just fine not committing crimes
Since there's close to a 50% chance that the next President will be Trump, maybe you shouldn't be so confident about that.
@@qwadratix Definitely not 50%. More like 20%.
Which, to be clear, is 20% too high.
@@qwadratix More like 0% that tRump will ever become POTUS again.
@@isocarboxazidid prefer to pretend like its 50% so we all are motivated to get out there in November. Sometimes you just gotta flush twice. But still who knows what fool the GOP will put up in 2028 so we need to get this sorted correctly now

bahaha, so many people are. people commit crimes left and right and get away with it. so many lil kids get illegally brought into the country and sold off to multiple people every day, and the human trafficker gets away with it. to think no one is above the law is just so naive and childlike

Lock him up!

November is around the corner 😂😂😂 and you are going too see it 😂😂😂
He should have been imprisoned on the seventh of january
Lo k hu up
Some of the Justices like Alito and Thomas could take the bus to prison with Trump.
This should be a no brainer. No one is above the law. In some cases the president may be prosecuted. This is one of those cases.
Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman ...ring a bell?
@@whyami8024 Relevance?
@@Article95yes
What if the current administration has a stated policy of going after someone?
Question so clear cut won't have an answer till June? The supreme court is pathetic!
There is no reason they should have taken this case . The appeals court ruling solidly refuted any notion of absolute immunity.
The fact that this is STILL a question is the real problem. Scrub the SCOTUS, term limits now
Yep. It's getting to be that time where we need to not only talk about checks and balances, but look at our checks on the court, not just the other way around.
Strip their jurisdiction. You only need congress to do so, not a supermajority. They have forfeited the ability to hear anything related to Trump.
Or if that doesn't work, because of the filibuster, simply don't enforce their rulings.
@@NikosZaidGomez I'd also add that they should be able to be impeached and stagger out the terms so one per presidents term

@whyami8024 Biden will never be arrested he is our president and its against the law to arrest a president that is why they had to wait until Trumps term was over to bring up charges
This shouldn't even be a question. A president is not above the law. He is supposed to be a model for the law.
What about Biden is he a model for the law, he's a liar and their that hates America.
These justices have no conscious.
Ur right about three of them
@@ada-yw1bb
What country are you from?
@JonathanSterlingUSA : The constitutional republic of the United States of America .
Where feelings shouldn't matter when it comes to the rule of law, and Democrats should be held to the same standard as Republicans .
Where suppreme court justices interpret the constitution like the forefathers intended and are not just actactivists loyal to the left .
Where someone is innocent until " proven" guilty , not condemned by the tyranny of the majority like they would be in a common democracy.
Supreme Court so so Corrupt
It's only corrupt when it doesn't get the favor of one side. Whether you are red or blue, we know justice only matters to those who get it (or didnt)
The fact that this is even being debated is so disturbing for the future of the US. If they're worried about public faith in the court after overturning roe v wade, just wait and see what happens if they say presidents are essentially kings
How long are they going to drag this decision out. Come on people, immunity doesn’t cover committing crimes! 😳
They'll try to drag it out until after the election to avoid installing a dictator until orange grifter Jesus is back in office. If they rule now they either prevent the grifter from ever becoming king, or they make Joe Biden king. The majority of the justices seem hell bent on ending democracy and installing the grifter as king.
That's exactly why they're having this hearing, his trial for the events of Jan 6th is on hold until the Supreme Court makes a ruling on this matter. This delay is the only way they can thank him for their jobs without exposing themselves as complete trumpuppets...
@@SC-ym5zu must be tough knowing there is nothing you can do about it.
@@bobcob3362 We can all vote against the grifting criminal defendant. Also, term limits people!
@rt-420 let me know when congress votes to kick themselves out of a cushy job, would ya?
No person is above the law. So why are there laws?😡😡😡
Justice delayed, is justice denied. - No one is above the law
No crime has been committed
Including Biden and the Dumocrats.
@@ada-yw1bb No Democrat has asked for absolute immunity for their actions. Night and day.
Actually, here in America... Even lowly police officers have a form of immunity.
@@JonathanSterlingUSA Qualified immunity is already a controversial doctrine, and has been criticized for shielding officers from reasonable accountability. Think beating up or shooting unarmed civilians.
Imagine if we gave the commander in chief, the leader of the free world, with access to nuclear codes, unqualified immunity. If that happens, you better hope your guy wins the election.
How important elections are going to be for years to come to keep the MAGA EXTREMIST out of positions of power.
Clarence, would being gifted a house for mother or being gifted an RV be considered an official act?
Well, you see, the distinction is that something being an official act is whether it's convenient or not!
It is surprising to me that the U.S. Supreme Court will even entertain to hearing this case. I thought it has a higher standard than that.
Where were their concerns for the future of women rights when they ignored established law to guarantee a womens rights to abortion. I don't trust this court to judge anything fairly.
CBS with the softball title on this. The Supreme Court is "debating" if the US Constitution allows for a dictatorship.
Why is this even a debate?! No the president of the United States does not have immunity from committing crimes!!! This is just sick.
No they are not. This should be a quick denial of immunity. It is ridiculous to even drag it out.
Actually , there is nothing to debate. Those who break the law must go to court to get and give justice. There is nothing else to discuss. Supreme Court Justices who break the law , must be held accountable. Taking bribes and getting favors can never become an accepted practice for members of the Supreme Court. When there is a conflict of interest, Justices must recuse themselves from cases (that includes Clarence Thomas ). No appearance of conflict of interest.
Criminal acts are not part of presidential actions
The debate is if we have a dictator or not. This should be no debate!
My first introduction to Government was my social studies teacher asking the class, “Who thinks the President can do whatever they want?” and I remember raising my hands with about half the class. She taught us about checks and balances and the importance of it all- guess I was right after all
A reminder to everyone that checks and balances only work if those in power use them. A court and/or legislature sympathetic to an autocrat are still dangerous, checks or no checks.
We are still on this petend BS??
This is getting beyond ridiculous. It is obvious that politicians must undergo moral and political scrutiny. This applies to anyone, regardless of position. Because seriously, unilateral decisions are the responsibility of each person, everything falls outside the scope of presidential immunity when the context of the offense is for one's own benefit. #Fiatjustitia
Why does it have to take months to decide what is obvious?
If they allow this, there will hell to pay. I say we sue them.
Also how can Thomas not recuse himself?
If there is a single justice that agrees with this nonsense, that justice should be thrown out IMMEDIATELY! ... No one is above the law!!!
Well, here we are, discussing whether or not we will have an authoritarian government soon. It will be decided by nine unelected people. This is unacceptable.
Scotus is a Supreme Joke
This would take only a minute to decide for any ethical and moral person but unfortunately this is Trumps Supreme Court.
Nothing to debat.. unless somebody is above the law.
I don't understand the Supreme Court debating Trumps immunity then saying it will set a presidence for future Presidents no other President would do anything like Trump is doing
Consider the following: Do we truly want a single person to be possibly the most powerful person on this Earth to have unchecked powers and authorities with no accountability for actions taken? Even if it's Satan and not Jesus?
Yep. It is unconscionable.
@@NikosZaidGomez Agreed. But this is the issue before us.
I want Biden to speak on this.
I mean, this is insane! I would like bully pulpit Biden ragging on this clown court. Don't know if it's politically expedient, but if so, do it, because this is unacceptable.
1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 Yes. Listen to it several times. Especially those in denial.
Shameful shameful shameful
CONGRESS CREATES LAWS; the Supreme Court interprets those laws in the 👉(CONTEXT)👈 of legal disputes and rules on their constitutionality.
No trial…….no election
The court looks to bolster their conservative leanings at every turn, and it's working
You can officially refer to anyone still bowing down to the orange traitor as, "Those who worship evil's might!"
Takes nine over priced judges to confuse something so simple. There was no issue for 250 years, I think Trump's behaviour is a case in point!
This is shame that the SCOTUS judges can't determine without a lengthy discussion what is "Official Duty" or "Private Act". I can ask my 4 year old daughter what is permissible and what is not based on house rules. Example: I will ask my daughter: Sweetheart, can you talk to strangers, can you lie, can you not do your homework before you go play? I will put my hand in fire and her answer will be NO. Therefore, if she does anything that are contrary to house rules, she knows she will be punished. So, SCOTUS, why can't you immediately decide that no one is above the law and presidents don't have immunity. What's the problem?
Supposedly know what Man is above the law, but I guess several Supreme Court judges are this is ridiculous. How could some of those justice sit on this case when their family had direct involvement and overthrowing the government when Trump was being impeached his lawyer said once he’s out of office, then he could be charged now that he’s out of office he saying he has complete immunity, so that’s like saying the president can have his political opponent assassinated by the seal team if he feels their threat such as having classified material having to foreign entity, things like that and for the Supreme Court to sit here and debate on, this is a joke the government is all for Republicans and Democrats. I choose not to get into any more elections or politics because it doesn’t matter what the people say. It’s what certain people says that being the Supreme Court.
not beholden to the law.. neither are the people then!
Where is the "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW"?
He thinks he is special? He was a very poor president who suggested people to drink disinfectant during the pandemic!!
You don't need immunity if you haven't done anything W R O N G
Debatd what? Really!
The justice department gave testimony what equates to immunity. You are choosing not to listen
"Justice Clarence Thomas asked 'How much money is this worth to me? I haven't been on a trip in weeks. Ginny! Fire up the Trumper Wagon! We're going to Fiji!'".
I don’t think the implications are solely impacting the U.S. Look at how many other countries (mostly developing) look up to the U.S. and try to model their system similar to ours. Giving absolute presidential immunity opens up doors for sitting presidents to commit genocide and full retribution against their political foes and god knows what else. In this particular case, We are talking about a man that quite literally looks up to and partial to autocracies. This is the way the country is going and frankly, all led by Donald Trump.
I’d be curious though, what happens if the court ruled in favor of absolute presidential immunity and Biden wins office again (although not likely)? This is a two way street…it’s not going to be in place for one sitting president and not the other. I can’t even believe this is up for debate. If the Supreme Court votes in favor of it, we will be one step closer to the new Russia.
No!! Only Steven Seagal is above the law!😂😂
Except Biden, Pelosi and Schumer
space ice!
Giuliani: "Mr Trump, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that SCOTUS agreed that presidents have absolute immunity, so all your charges in all your cases are withdrawn..."
Trump: "What's the bad news?"
Giuliani: "President Biden paid me twenty bucks to assassinate you." (Pulls out a rubber chicken and earns his twenty bucks.)
joke
Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?
I have a question? why is this a question? The Constitution has a pretty cleared out if the president does something that is unlawful it is for Congress to impeach them. It's not about supporting him or not it's about what the Constitution says. It falls on Congress to go ahead and be the determiners of what constitutes a crime thus the action of impeachment and removal of office is in place.
This ruling is not about immunity from impeachment, but rather immunity from criminal prosecution.
Biden should order seal team six to visit mar alago
This is so insane. Aren't we worried that Supreme Court justices should be prosecuted for their crimes in office?
We are the only ones that can stop Donald Trump. We owe it to our freedom and our kids and grandkids future.
Your kids and grandkids have 35 trillion to pay.
@@bobcob3362 No thanks to Republican administrations cutting taxes for the ultrawealthy.

How 'bout we pick nine 5th graders to debate whether they should decide to prosecute the supreme court justices for dereliction of duty... Let's see how long that takes.
Good luck fellow citizens! Democracy is on fire wand we all have front row seats.
Why is here e en a question about it. President should live amongst the law too i mean wtf
Chief Punk Thomas has EARNED his seat at the sell-out table next to Kanye and Trump.
How do you look at yourself in the mirror everyday blood in the criminal walk free because the Supreme Court is stopping all the trials we deserve better from the Supreme Court
Can a hypothetical president, hypothetically crazy, facing a hypothetical mob be prevented from jailing all his opponents, real, or hypothetical?
The Supreme Court Justices should remember, Proverbs 18:5, It's not good to show partiality to the wicked. Or to overthrow the righteous in judgment. Proverbs 18:7, A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. Help Trump by sitting him down. You're not helping. His behavior today, is the outcome of people never telling him no.
Presidential action whether personal or public is still the president and is not considered a citizen, and cannot be charged unless their is an hourly schedule that seperates personal responsibilies. If he is on the( clock) it is official business. When he clocks out then maybe. But i belive it is asalary and he is President 24 hrs a day.
OMG they don't know this is a joke . Find an excuse for Trump the conservative bench will eighter delay or find away to let him off the hook
I am a nobody and no one is above the law! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to answer the question .
If you ask me they are scared todo the right thing.
Lmao he better be careful they give him the ruling he wants “I hope he don’t to be clear “ Trump better watch out for seal team 6 haha
Biden will be allowed to do whatever he wants!
Let the voters decide not a hand full judges.
I say no immunity.
Trump changed the political landscape when he decided to run for president and it's evident if you look at all they're "describing the leftist" is doing too stop it😂😂
They the leftist is scared of it because it's threatening their comfortable beliefs,whether right or wrong.
Trump rock's!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
I wish Putin would stop trolling
Well of course he can be prosecuted its always been this way and it must continue to be this way, no one is above the law
I would vote for him over biden. But I do want him under the bars if he's guilty.
I will be ok with all of this, ONLY if they do the same to Biden, Pelosi and Hilary.
They all are held to the same standards. It's just your guy disrupting and causing all the problems.
Does the Trump team understand that if Trump gets total immunity, Biden does too and according to Trump's lawyer can assasinate his corrupt political opponent... 😂
he is a delinquent ,american justice sucks
It will apply to Biden
#LockHimUp
The day trump is no more will be a great day his tactics are working delay delay delay why cant they decide soon ,
*SCROTUS THE CHUMPREME COURT*
POLITICALLY CONFLICTED JUSTICES
*LET'S GO BABBITT !*
Yes. If not, lock up Biden .
We don't lock people up without evidence of wrongdoing.
If this Supreme Court surprises everyone with a Monarchy... its gonna be a rude awakening for the extreme political right.... us liberal ❄️'s are American as apple pie 🥧 we have pew•pews too.
