[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump’s lawyers argued in court today that a President could order Seal Team 6 to murder a political opponent and he would be immune from criminal prosecution.

What type of argument is this?   Didn’t we fight a war with Britain to get away from a king? [/quote]

It's called executive immunity.  Do you want every president from here on out looking over their shoulders for actions they took whilst in office?

You would get to a point of a feckless presidency that can't act in many cases.  Would you like Biden to be prosecuted for killing 13 children in Kabul, Afghanistan in a missile strike that Biden concurred to?  The precedent you would be setting is MADNESS.[/quote]
The precedent of a sitting POTUS supporting insurrection is the MADNESS here, not holding POTUS accountable for supporting an insurrection. It would be madess to NOT hold a POTUS accountable for an insurrection.

I'm sure Abraham Lincoln did not plunge the union into civil war just to allow an insurrectionist to rip the union apart.

If Trump is such a great negotiator, why isn't he "negotiating" to keep the union from fracturing? He's either a terrible negotiator, or he cares more about his ego and getting back at people for a perception of being done wrong than loving this country... it's actually both.[/quote]
