The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

albaby1: ....which is just silly. I mean, the President tried to argue that all of his acts were official in this case, and this Supreme Court rejected that argument. They refused to accept that everything the POTUS does is official, and instead sent it back down to the lower court to make a determination.

All this Supreme Court did was needlessly sit on this for months and then delay any meaningful resolution months more by sending it back to the lower court for further determination until it winds up before the high court again next year. Unless Trump is elected, then it goes away.

Also, with respect to this court, please 1.) Share with me where in the Constitution the justices find "Presidential" immunity (as you note, the Constitution addresses speech and debate clause immunity, so it's not like they weren't aware of the concept); and 2.) Define for me what this court means by presumption of immunity.

Oh, and you're acting as though as though in a second term, Orange Jesus would play by the rules.

That's cute.
