    No, they can’t. Even if the Supreme Court says they can, they can’t.

      If they rule that a president is above the law, they are effectively creating a monarchy. All divine rights bestowed upon someone by virtue of existence.

      Isn’t this one of the big reasons americans defend their rights to bear arms? To prevent/remove a tyrannical government?

        Yeah, ruling in the favour of this would be a massive Pandora’s box and I’m not sure the supreme court would want that at that moment. If Trump were President they would probably agree though.

        It’s a litmus test of division. Will the people cheer on their own downfall and descend into fascism? Yes as long as their team is winning.

      If no one ever faces any real consequences, then sure they can.

      Unfortunately, reality is proving that this is not the case.

      Considering that he was trying to stall his other trials until after the election, he did get away with this one.
