    That is a problem with the courts, not the Constitution.

    I find nothing in the Constitution that is time sensitive, meaning different time periods would be applicable to everything written in the Constitution. People that say...

    I, for one Republican right winger, am not at all convinced Biden is senile. Doddering is a much more apt word.

    Your premise is correct. But a jury of his peers (whatever that is) will decide whatever they choose.

  17. RodB replied to the thread US supreme court to decide on Trump’s claim of presidential immunity.

    That is not my assertion in the least. Trump did absolutely nothing illegal, but that does not preclude a jury or judge finding him guilty anyway.

    The rest of the facts are, Trump did nothing illegal.

    Very true, but it is appropriately innocent until found guilty.

    I personally do not want the trial before election. Having a trial has much more negative publicity than being under indictment.

  26. RodB replied to the thread US supreme court to decide on Trump’s claim of presidential immunity.

    I disagree. The prosecutors want desperately to go to trial before the election because being at trial has much more potential negative press than just being indicted.

    No, but it sheds light on the Trump haters and persecutors. No other ex president challenged his immunity before because no other president was purged like Trump is.

    Gore did and, if not presidents, high party officials have many times. But they, including Trump, were not constructing fake electors as opposed to different electors.

    That is what I said. The same things the Democrats did in 2000, 2004, and 2016. I can't recall if Republicans challenged (read "tried to change") in 2008 and 2012.
