Well, where does it say in the constitution that the president is or is not above the law? Like absolutely without doubt, where does it specifically say that? No where. It doesn't say a think about the President being immune. So, when you say "no one" what are you basing that on? Not the constitution. Just your own interpretation. But, I'll refer you to the much cited Article 2 of the constitution and you'll find NOTHING that says either way. It doesn't even mention the president relationship to the law. So, for you to say "no one" is not valid. That's your opinion and not actual law. We have no laws in this situation, cause I don't think a president has come up before the law (other than Nixon). Its not ludicrous. What is ludicrous is 1. a rapper, 2. the fact you think "no one" without any documentation to support your claim. So, what this case is doing is making that documentation. It'll put into law yes or no, or yes or no with exemptions. So, in the future someone like you can come along and say "no one" and actually point to the law where it says the president is or is not above the law. That's pretty much the point of the case. So, to say its ludicrous is just ludicrous. You're essentially saying that we just just say something is a law without there being any laws to say such. We should just say "no one" because we feel like it. So, the law is based on what we feel, and like wikipedia, open for change.

Justice Department memos are not the law. The Supreme Court may rule that a person has to be impeached, but at this point they haven't. Trump's lawyer needs to go to his law school and get a refund.
