Poll: Most say presidents should not have immunity, but Republicans support it for Trump.

[j brown's body]

"As the Supreme Court considers its decision on the matter, most Americans don't think Donald Trump should have immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while president, and most don't think presidents generally should have immunity either.

Some Republicans, though, feel a little differently: they think Trump should have immunity. ...Two-thirds of Republicans think Trump should have immunity from prosecution, but that number drops to just 45% when they're asked more generally whether "U.S. presidents" should have the same immunity. In fact, more than half of Republicans think presidents generally should not."

That’s the difference between a general question and a specific example. Believe me, I wish people would think their answers through when answering something like that. Immunity sounds bad, but even as someone as generally distrustful of a government that’s too big or powerful as I am, I’ve always understood the need for some immunity for certain government actors.

 

[Rich2018]

Of course presidents should not have immunity.

If it were some immunity or even qualified immunity the freakout might not be so bad.

I oppose even qualified immunity. I have been fighting to have it removed from police and prosecutors, but it should be rolled back across the board for all government actors.

Yeah…. I mean look at how hard it is to get justice for police murders…

United States District Judge Carlton Reeve wrote the ultimate condemnation of qualified immunity in his above decision from a very horrendous case in Mississippi.

I can't help thinking about how our wars in Vietnam and Iraq have destroyed people's faith in government and wonder if both of them would have been perused if the president knew he didn't have immunity.

 

[Rich2018]

Yeah, I'm sure if it was Joe Biden indicted, they'd make the opposite ruling.

So the Communist Broadcasting System doesn't think President should have immunity. Gee, why am I not surprised?

If Biden did something that was against the law, would you say the same?
We should be thinking beyond the here and now. What might protect the convict for the moment might come to bite us in the backside later on.

Biden has done something that was against the law, and the Communist Broadcasting System, along with the rest of the Democratic Party propagandists have been covering it up. Just like they covered up Obama's criminal acts. We do not have journalists in the US, we have propagandists. There is a difference.

So ok then, covering up and forgiving crimes is ok.

Apparently only when those crimes are committed by the left. As the recent 34 felony convictions against Biden's political opponent has recently demonstrated.

I'll remind you of that when Trump is sitting in the White House and Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of the Democratic Party leadership are behind bars in GITMO.

Biden won't. Guess why? Immunity.
Pelosi and the rest? That would be revenge, not justice. Right?
All that, assuming the convict will be re-elected by his law rejecting minions.

Who cares what the people of America want? The SCOTUS ruled the President has at least a presumed immunity and determination of what is unofficial is impossible. What are American voters going to do? Vote them off the bench

Not unless there's enough of them to get a 2/3 majority in the Senate.

Guess what? Biden wasn't President when he was caught committing his crimes. So no immunity. Furthermore, Public Law 107-40 gives the President the authority to declare the Democratic Party a terrorist organization, seize its assets, and lock away its leadership in GITMO for the rest of their pathetic lives.

You can kiss the anti-American pro-terrorist Democratic Party goodbye after November.
