We see many of our liberals railing against the Trump legal team’s contention that the President is supposed to be immune from the nonsensical criminal charges brought by the current Administration’s DOJ and its misnamed “special counsel.”
It
may be that the legal arguments for that position
could fail. But the arguments against it — as offered by many of our liberals — are ignorant and quite insipid.
They don’t seem to understand (on any level) some of the more refined and nuanced positions made by the Trump legal team. Too bad. The liberals’ counter-arguments might carry
some weight
if they’d honestly address those legal points. But, they don’t. They don’t even try.
I suspect it’s because our liberals are too dismissive and too ignorant.
For future reference,
here is a link to the Trump brief on his claims for immunity:

One of the more interesting facets of the arguments made in support of extending Presidential immunity to “criminal” cases involves consideration of the import of Trump’s
Senate acquittal in both of his impeachments. This involves a familiar concept in an unfamiliar setting:
double jeopardy.
Good stuff. Well worth the read and some actual consideration.
