The argument for presidential immunity is based on the Constitution that gives authority to Congress to 'discipline' the President via the impeachment process in the House and the Senate given authority to remove him/her from office. This is to ensure that malicious prosecution cannot be utilized to interfere with the authority given to the office of President. It should apply to a President after leaving office so far as his presidential duties and authority are concerned. The issue has been argued by constitutional scholars for as long as I can remember.
Ford pardoned Nixon not to protect him from prosecution by any person or persons but rather to immunize him against the impeachment process that likely would have been utilized had there been no pardon. The pardon did so outrage enough people in the electorate it cost Ford his chance for a full term as President and we got Carter instead. (Ford would have been far less damaging.) Gerald Ford goes down in history as the only person to have served as Vice President and President without being elected to either office.
Good thing he doesn't have an agenda.The "some guy on Twitter" was a AUSA for 22 years and has been defending numerous people charged in J6 cases.
He obviously does not understand the nuances of what that immunity entails and why the chief executive officer needs to be free from tort nuisance legal actions. If not every administration would be tied up in court for decades bar none.Cite the case in which Nixon claimed immunity from prosecution and lost.
Or perhaps you are confusing United States v. Nixon, which dealt with a subponea of tapes and records?
United States v. Nixon
That was actually in the brief?I especially liked page 25, citing the DOJ's argument that the court shouldn't worry about "politically motivated prosecutions" in the future because this was the first time they had done it!
Yes, and that is why White6 was nervously laughing about it.That was actually in the brief?
Ahhhh.....well....I think we know where this is goingYes, and that is why White6 was nervously laughing about it.
The election should be of no concern to the court.To get it out of the way before the election.
How can you kids not understand that?
You would think tRump would want that too, wouldn't you?
But you and I both know they just took the timeline for three of the four cases under their personal control, almost certainly for the purposes of delaying them until tRum can scream "it's too close" and petition for delays until after he loses the election.The election should be of no concern to the court.
