When you look at the facts of the Trump indictment — not imagined hypothetical scenarios — there is no way the Constitution grants him immunity from prosecution.
(Samuel Breidbart, Brennan Center for Justice)
Two centuries of U.S. constitutional history make clear that Donald Trump is liable to criminal prosecution.

in reply to Mike Reader • • •the article goes off the rails right from its headline.
Take the line, “Many of the justices seemed uninterested in addressing the facts of Trump’s case,” and the response is YES EMPHATICALLY SO! Because that’s not what the court was there to judge, and didn’t have the authority to judge anyway.
The Court was sitting as a appeals court judging a particular question brought before it, and the question had absolutely nothing to do with the facts of Trump’s case.
Really, this is a misunderstanding in the general public of how US courts work and the function of the Supreme Court.
This article is based on the premise that the Court is something that it’s not.
