The week's question

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.

Kantanji Brown Jackson just asked Sauer a great question. Words to the effect of

You seem overly concerned about the prospect of a world in which the President fears prosecution for criminal acts while in office. Can we lay an alternate concern on the table? I'm worried about a world in which a President DOESN'T fear prosecution for violations of the law while President when the role of President already has such immense power.

Sauer responded by citing the bogus premise of his core argument, that up until now, the country has operated under a presumption that the President has immunity from official acts during his term. Of course, that has NOT been the assumption of the country since US 2.0 began in 1789. That's only the fractured fairy tale version of history Trump himself thinks he learned from Roy Cohn.

Trump is toast. At least he SHOULD be.


WTH
