@@thelakeman5207 According to you. All presidents have lower the bar from the previous president because they cannot resist power and greed. I don't like Trump but he is not the first one to pay off someone to keep them quiet....he is not the first one to mishandle official documents. Clinton had sex in the Oval Office with young impressionable girl. Bush waged two illegal wars for personal vengeance.

The Constitution provides for a system of checks and balances. If a President were to have total immunity, there would be no check on his power, therefore, absolute immunity is unconstitutional.

@andrewli1519 18 днів тому
It's absolutely a no-brainer, but weird that the Supreme Court chose to hear it...And if they rule in Trump's favor, that could give the ability of any future president to remain in power (or make it so, so that they can stay in power), and then the only way to stop it after that, is through congress, which gerrymandering could be an issue too. But let's hope our democracy remains strong and to be fair for all people and not just for a group of people in a particular area...

Reagan didn't just smoke crack, he was likely the largest distributor in history when he sold it in the inner cities to raise money for guns during Iran-Contra. He then went on to criminalize his own customers by implementing draconian drug laws that carried penalties up to 10 times those of other drug offences. Those laws are still on the books today. Under Reagan, the US prison population soared from 500K to 2.5M and counting. His policies effectively doomed millions of his own citizens to poverty and addiction while stripping entire generations of their voting rights. When Geo HW Bush took office, he immediately shut down any further investigation into Reagan's crimes, thus granting him total immunity through bureaucratic channeling. The 'Law and Order' party only seem interested in these concepts when it applies to their adversaries...
