[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]Do you want every president from here on out looking over their shoulders for actions they took whilst in office?[/b]

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]
Interesting point.[/quote]

That hasn't been problem for over 200 years - why would it be a problem now?

And it's not just that Supreme Court found immunity for official acts, they made that immunity so absolute that it even protects a President who orders sham prosecutions and investigations. That is NEW.

From the opinion
