I don’t understand what there is to discuss here at all. If the US president had immunity as a matter of principle, he wouldn’t be a president, he’d be some kind of god-king (even kings couldn’t do whatever they wanted).
Right? I thought we settled this debate circa 1776.
Which is basically what trump argues he is.
Well, I’m not very familiar with the US Constitution. But if there really is any leeway for such advances, it doesn’t seem to me to be a good constitution for a democratic country.
The conservatives agree… For conservative presidents only, of course.
There ia no such thing as a “good conservative”. Each one is a cancer cell in the global disease that kills and oppresses normal people.
