Most notably, the high court will weigh if and when a former president can claim criminal immunity for acts committed while in office as Trump, who is currently on trial for allegedly concealing hush money payments to an adult film actress, fights three additional indictments over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his hoarding of classified documents.”

Trump’s appeal is set to come before the justices on Thursday.

    I would love for the AG to file an amicus brief on behalf of Biden saying “we eagerly look forward to the ruling so that we can act in accordance “

        If they rule a president isn’t culpable then they basically have determined the law doesn’t apply to the president. So he’s not breaking any laws s at that point.

            That’s exactly what Trump has been arguing for (dictator, but same difference). The outcome of this case will determine that.

        It’s a bluff/logical argument.

        If your spouse declared “I can sleep with whoever I want to!” you might download tinder and say “Oh really? How does it feel?”
