Special Counsel Asks Supreme Court To Rule Quickly Whether Trump Can Be Prosecuted

[Godboy]

The president is commander in chief. Which means he has the power to command the military to take whatever actions he commands, short of violating the laws of war.

You cant declare war on US citizens. Obama murdered a US citizen.

Pay attention to the discussion before jumping in with random useless posts that dont apply to the conversation.

I am sure you feel the need to police the thread.

Who had taken up arms with our enemy.

 

[SavannahMann]

Yep, more law evading methods utilized by the Reich and its chief brownshirt right Lakookta?

Trump is complaining in three separate Criminal cases that he can’t be tried because he was a President. What is wrong with asking the Supremes to make a decision? If Trump is right it ends the prosecutions now. At least two go away today.

I was in the military dipshit, so i know that the top of the US military chain of command is "The Commander in Chief"

That really doesn’t answer the question of why you think engaging in war would be considered illegal.

Obama wasn't prosecuted for drone strikes because he was engaging in war. That means people get killed.

 

[Godboy]

The unwarranted, wrongheaded defense of the insane notion that presidents are above the law is motivated solely by Trump being a Republican; this is yet another example of the right’s contempt for the rule of law.

You arent making a good case for why Obama wouldnt go down if presidential immunity was removed.

You cant delcare war on US citizens.

 

[postman]

Trump was making legal moves BEFORE the deadline was up. You are trying to criminal those legal moves.

Trump is not being prosecuted for any of his lawsuits. It's when he told his people to assault the Capitol, that he went outside of presidential bounds.

He is not aware of the declaration of war against terrorists and terrorism that was created by Congress after the event of 9/11.

Conservatives judge by actual law, no wonder you are whining so much Mrs. Jones.....

This is a Court dominated by partisan conservative ideologues that has already exhibited its contempt for settled, accepted precedent – it is perfectly reasonable to assume that the Court will again ignore precedent.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

He was under the orders of the Commander in Chief.

that does not release him from being responsible for his actions.

Im very sure that if Trump did that, i would know about it. You can make that claim, but im assuming that you will fail to support it with facts.

If US citizens side with the enemy, then they are targets in that war.

Like Timothy McVeigh?

Please direct me to any law that says that.

This is desperation by Jack Smith.

desperation? no, economy. why pay his large staff for months if trump's court is going to rule that he is somehow above the law? or aren;t you worried about the deficit?

 

[Godboy]

Like Timothy McVeigh?

You mean the guy who was arrested, tried and convicted in federal court? I notice he didnt just get a button pushed on him that ended his life without due process.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No the **** isnt better. Thats an absurd and naive statement.

If it had been decided that Clinton had raped Monica instead of it being consensual, would you have been fighting to keep him from being prosecuted after he left office?

 

[postman]

Im very sure that if Trump did that, i would know about it. You can make that claim, but im assuming that you will fail to support it with facts.

Right now Jack Smith has a guy who went through Trumps phone records, to see who he was talking to, and when.

 

[Marener]

Do you think our military is supposed to check passports of people shooting at them
before they return fire?
