      @hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat 24 дня назад

      Well, where does it say in the constitution that the president is or is not above the law? Like absolutely without doubt, where does it specifically say that? No where. It doesn't say a think about the President being immune. So, when you say "no one" what are you basing that on? Not the constitution. Just your own interpretation. But, I'll refer you to the much cited Article 2 of the constitution and you'll find NOTHING that says either way. It doesn't even mention the president relationship to the law. So, for you to say "no one" is not valid. That's your opinion and not actual law. We have no laws in this situation, cause I don't think a president has come up before the law (other than Nixon). Its not ludicrous. What is ludicrous is 1. a rapper, 2. the fact you think "no one" without any documentation to support your claim. So, what this case is doing is making that documentation. It'll put into law yes or no, or yes or no with exemptions. So, in the future someone like you can come along and say "no one" and actually point to the law where it says the president is or is not above the law. That's pretty much the point of the case. So, to say its ludicrous is just ludicrous. You're essentially saying that we just just say something is a law without there being any laws to say such. We should just say "no one" because we feel like it. So, the law is based on what we feel, and like wikipedia, open for change.

      Well, back at the time (if you remember these things from the news) some of 45's people discussed seizing the voting machines in a large county in Nevada that didn't generate the voting profile they wanted. Apparently it was fairly inner-circle stuff. It got echoed in near real time as a done deal to the sheeple who read the Blaze. At the time, one of my co-workers was deliriously happy over this news. He subsequently "did his homework" on covid vaccines and purged himself from the voting rolls.

    Actually the president currently does not have to be impeached to be prosecuted. The only thing that says a president has immunity is a Justice Department memo. Justice Department memos are not the law. The Supreme Court may rule that a person has to be impeached, but at this point they haven't. Trump's lawyer needs to go to his law school and get a refund. They did not teach him much law. Alina Habba might want to do that also.

      Actually the first part is false. Theirs such a thing as a self coup. That’s when someone takes power legally and then tries to stay in power or expand their power through illegal means. It’s also when one branch of government tries to seize power from another.

      @@jasonm1827 Kagan asked about a President conducting a coup, which could not be conducted against himself. The lawyer could have stated that a coup could not be conducted while the President was in office. If an action was taken after the term was over, by a minute or a year, he would have no support by the military if it acted according to its oath and defended the constitution. If that’s not clear please let me know.
