You need to do a show that discusses the supposed laws and principles upon which the majority claims to have made this decision. Mitch McConnell declined to impeach Trump because he could be held criminally liable after leaving the office. Everyone has ever held such a view. In my view. the Court is not interpreting our laws: it is rewriting them along lines entirely contrary to the body of American democracy.

This is lunacy. The central theme of the Constitution is balance of power. And yet, without a hint of support for the idea within that document, these mock justices seek to invent immunity for one (not three... one) of the three arms of the US government. Why aren't governors and senators offered immunity? No answer. The court needs to admit that Trump is being prosecuted for crimes he committed. His lack of immunity is a good, necessary feature of the government the Founders intended
