Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig: "But left obscure in the oral argument in Trump v. United States is that Donald Trump was not executing presidential power in any legally relevant sense when he engaged in the behaviors charged in Jack Smith's indictment. None of the hard questions of presidential immunity are raised by the case. Indeed, the only hard question is why the lawyers have let it seem as if this is a difficult case." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/legal-scholar-donald-trump-immunity-argument-bogus-commentary-1235013046/ #politics #USPol #Trump #SCOTUS

in reply to upstreamism • • •what is Lessig going on about now?
That wasn’t left obscure at all in the oral argument. It was a focus of justices’ attention!
Lessig is a clown.
