#Judge agrees to dismiss Donald #Trump's 2020 election interference case

The democratic principle that no one is above the law and everyone is equal before the law therefore does not apply in the US.

I'm guessing that the practicality of carrying out this case overrules the law. It's a nuance in law which most of us are unaware of.

I don't know about that. Ford pardoned Nixon for any and all crimes even before he was ever charged with anything.

There is still the question about the president can pardon himself, but then that question would go to Trump's pet supreme court for that to be decided, so we already know what they would say.

I think that it is unlikely he will bother pardoning himself, since he does not intend to leave office alive anyway.

The System is BROKEN!
Fix it!!!


I agree, but who is going to do that? Trump? Vance? The supreme court?

I'm actually starting to worry quite a bit about this second Trump term. The first did a lot of damage, but now Trump seems determined to make that look mild.
