The timing of the debate and the issuance of this opinion could not have been worse. Now, all of this hand-wringing over Biden's debate performance is completely overshadowing this EXTREMELY CONSEQUENTIAL abomination from the Court. The media, as usual, is fixated on creating a controversy, instead of actually covering a catastrophe. Thanks for the segment, Jen. Please encourage your colleagues to stop sowing discord in the Democratic Party, and focus on the existential crisis born of this absolutely opprobrious decision.

@@Pilotpaulie Incorrect. A grand jury indicted Trump, not "they" or Biden. I have ZERO issue with ANY President being arrested for: 1) Calling secretaries of states asking them the "find" votes. You ok if Biden does that? 2) Calling voting commissioners in swing states asking them not to certify. You ok if Biden does that? 3) Coordinating fake electors. You ok if Biden does that? 4) Despite loosing 62 court cases (many from Judges they appointed) yet still encouraging their supporters to reject the election results. You ok if Biden does that? 5) Holding a rally, instructing their supporters to march to the capital, have their supporters construct a gallow, chant "ha ng Mike Pence", attack police officers, and break into the capital building in an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power while said President waits for hours to see how it will play out.

Trump's crimes make Nixon's look like Jay walking!

[@TheSandwichMonster]

How? Nixon had 5 folks try to break into the DNC to get inside information. The FBI literally colluded with Hillary and Obama to keep their mouth shut and open an investigation based on a Dossier the FBI and Obama knew was fake as early as July 2016, months before FBI director opened an investigation. Why would the FBI director open an investigation, using a Dossier he knew was fake, campaign disinformation invented by Hillary and an English former spy under the public pretense that the allegations "may" be true and they needed to investigate. Then the FBI director got a special counsel, knowing the underlying information was bunk. All the charges that came from that had nothing to do with Collusion.

Nonsense. The most that was given was the OLC opinion that you could not try the current sitting President. That is not immunity after the fact. What the Supreme Court did say was the raw exercise of the powers listed in the Constitution is immune regardless the reason. When one of those powers is the command of the military, the reason matters, and it matters for all the same reasons that military conduct is not necessarily immune either.

We added more oaths of office after the Civil War in order to protect the country as it means disqualification and more enforcement. These are all hints that that opinion is nonsense.
