[@maureenoneill5754]

For those of us that DO see what the supreme court is flirting with, it feels like we have NO say in what they do. We vote, and that matters very much, but that institution is beyond any control we have because they're appointed for LIFE. Regardless of the will of the majority. It's very frustrating to say the least.

[@d.f.9064]

Mitch McConnell achieved his goal. Controlling the law, bypassing Congress, without a popular vote.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

The lack of any oversight over SCOTUS, which in part defines our laws, and has recently overturned part of the Constitution and settled law, as well as members refusing to recuse when anyone else would have to, is a big problem which may cost us democracy if Trump becomes dictator.

[@yvettemontalvo7991]

That is a great question Lawrence and had It been me addressing the absolute immunity case to the Supreme Court, I would have asked them to address the merits of the case instead of them making up hypothetical scenarios non related to the case in front of them. Every time they would veer off into another hypothetical, I would again say to them to address the merits of the case. There is no absolute immunity clause in the constitution and even the lawyers and senators that presided in Trumps impeachment trial said that he could be held accountable by the justice department for any crimes he committed while in office, but lets be clear! He didnt commit just any crimes, he committed crimes against the constitution itself. The framers of this country even put in safe guards in the constitution so that a president can be held accountable ... One of which is impeachment and the republican party failed their oath to uphold the constitution when they voted not to impeach Trump. The SCOTUS is at this point is a JOKE! They are not there interpreting law, they are there in furtherance of a political candidate. PERIOD!

[@batgurrl]

Lawrence’s commentary is always informative and his snide delivery, ‘hits the spot for me’.

[@herstoryswitness]

Prof Snyder, we see what we are flirting with and are horrified.

[@allisonandrews4719]

Wow a real historian schooling SCOTUS on history. What a concept.

[@keithwald5349]

Mr. Synder's point in the final segment is paramount. The very fact that SCOTUS agreed to hear anything related to "absolute immunity" is itself an outrage as this should not be dignified by a hearing in this forum. This was not helped by Alito's "I'm not interested in the facts in this case. I'm only interested in this idea in the abstract." SCOTUS has fully entered crazytown.

[@ReformedRepublican]

I totally agree. Alito leaked the Hobby Lobby decision, and although l don't know (but l just know!) that Alito also leaked the decision overturning Roe. I am so disgusted with the corruption of the party of my youth and the Supreme Court, which l once respected.

[@erichancock6815]

​@@Slo-rydethe fact a nationally destructive, globally disgraceful clown like Trump is competing with the sitting president in the polls will be our undoing. We wouldn't have to care the wheels of justice were grinding slowly if he held less support than Ron DeSantis but he doesn't. Such shocking low morality of such a large swath of the electorate is the rot that will bring us down.

[@MCJSA]

Trump has weaponized the system against us, moving his minions into key positions and refusing to honor tradition or precedent. It isn't the first time someone has done this. It's a trick as old as government.

[@steverimnac526]

Every time Lawrence read the abbreviation FPOTOS (former pres), it sounded like he was swearing at Trump and gotta admit, I really enjoyed that! Lol.

[@tinat.4508]

I my opinion this is what will take him down.. the classified documents case!

[@TheNewsInASL]

[@peaceloveharmony7213]

This is a rock-solid case. Trump knows his only recourse was to petition the SC and hope they rule that he/former presidents have absolute immunity.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Thank you, Lawrence et al, for another great show.

[@danny1682]

Why shouldn't Justice Roberts not only vote against Trump immunity but also write an expansive opinion that includes not just what sort of immunity the Presidents have so that the self proclaimed textualists justices might have to adhere to the Constitution.

I really hope we eventually learn the identities of Persons 16 and 24. Sounds like 16 was a sane person offering good advice, and was therefore ignored. Person 24, who was described as 'unhinged and crazy' could be many people in the Trump mob, but I'd bet on Giuliani or Powell.

"Narcissistic Symbiosis and Shared Psychosis. Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the developmental wounds that make the leader-follower relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth, projects grandiose omnipotence-while the followers, rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury, yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology in the population that creates a “lock and key” relationship. Shared psychosis - which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”-refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence-even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure." From the book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," by Dr. Bandy Lee, and thirty-seven other psychiatrists and mental health professionals. Dr. Lee is the leader of the World Mental Health Coalition, a physician and forensic psychiatrist with PhDs from Harvard and Yale.
