(1,862 posts)That definitely clears up my question regarding the stays in the New York case, and as long as the trial is going ahead I have a lot less concern about it now.
I also get that the Supreme Court has to be the ultimate decider on immunity. I guess I am getting stuck on what was in the Declaration which I get is not what laws are based on. None the less it's a fairly clear indication that the founders never intended to have one person be allowed to break any law he chooses without having to face consequences. Yes there is impeachment, but that process has proven beyond flawed as virtually no one of either party is going to vote to remove a President that is a member of their own party.
The court was supposed to be impartial but again how do we trust that when at least two of them clearly have conflicts of interests in multiple cases, but refuse to recuse themselves? We cannot vote them out, President Biden cannot fire them, and the impeachment method for them is as flawed as the Presidental one is. Yes we can vote for people who we believe will uphold the law, but there is no guarantee that the other side won't cheat, and this time the SC won't look the other way. That's why I hope someone has a Plan B.
