[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]

Please with the hyperbole. The purpose of this appeal is not to remove immunity in its entirety. There are all kinds of immunities at law and all kinds of exceptions to it, and all kind of things that people do that fall outside of that protection. Only Trump is arguing something whole scale and extreme that never existed before: namely, the preposterous position that while in office absolutely anything he does to anyone anywhere is immune from prosecution. That's nuts.[/quote]
