Trump Thread

[a completely inoffensive name]

Not saying that all public officials have unlimited immunity. Just the president does. My reference to Madison was about the notes he took at the Constitutional convention I would also think he wanted as far from a strong executive as possible.

To reiterate, my point of view is that the correct view of law which you describe applies when all parties respect the law. Presidents have ignored SCOTUS before. Trump is at the same level of popularity as Carter and HW Bush was this far into their first term.

This battle will increasingly shift from the realm of law to the realm of public opinion as his authoritarian tendencies become emboldened or he fears for his survival from persecution. Only overt violations of written law will convince an otherwise apathetic public of the true nature of where this game is leading us.
