It was really not a question, but a prompt to the justice department to make an argument in the guise of a question. At about one minute:
She invites the justice department, lawyer, to speculate that the issue of future presidents prosecuting their former political opponents is mitigated by the idea that every current president would have an interest in not prosecuting the former guy because they will soon be the former guy and just as vulnerable.
At least two reasons why that is illogical come to mind.
First of all, most former president, I have been effectively neutered, politically speaking. I don’t remember any talk about Bus, the younger running against Clinton Clinton’s reelection
After losing in 2020, Trump has only become stronger and more popular politically due to concerns about the validity of that particular process. Biden and Biden DOJ is going after him because he is a political threat.
Second, it is assuming an alternate reality to say that a current president would not go after the former guy in a hearing about a case in which the current administration is going after the former guy.
I think one of the biggest challenges for lawyers arguing in front of the Supreme Court in the next couple of decades will be avoiding, laughing out loud at DEI selected justice. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the reasons that justice Elena Kagan won’t step down to avoid stepping down during the trump administration, is that, even though as a far left liberal, she hates the idea of a another Trump appointed Justice, she would hate the idea of another Kenjate Brown Jackson even worse.
