re: #29 Dizzy

Not knowing much about U.S. law or political procedure, can someone with more knowledge in these areas inform me if there is any recourse that sane people can take if the corrupt supreme court rules that yes, in fact, presidents are immune to prosecution?

Asking for a terrified friend.

Well, even Trump’s lawyers admit that after an impeachment and senate conviction then prosecution is on the table, so hopefully those institutions aren’t so abased that they would accept presidential hit squads.

Other than that, constitutional amendments, which these days are nigh impossible to imagine with the division between the parties and the states, but maybe if a president was trying to become an emperor they may be able to do something.

From what I heard this morning and my expert opinion as not a lawyer, I bet the court splits the baby. Says yes the president has immunity for all oficial acts, but no not all acts performed as president are official and they will send it back down to the lower courts to adjudicate which acts were official and which were not, which will then also be appealed and so on extending this trial so it might end sometime in the next 5 years.
