"In a 1 a.m. post on Truth Social, Trump ranted that he deserved COMPLETE & TOTAL PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY… even for 'EVENTS THAT "CROSS THE LINE."'"

"Nothing good happens when you bend the rules for Trump. We saw that play out, again, in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday.

It’s time for the courts to show that they are up to the task of treating Trump like they would treat anyone else."

"What is the law coming to when a former president can seriously argue for his plenary right to kill his opponents and yet still be considered a leading contender for election? The mind boggles and the rule of law shudders on its weakened foundations."

"Trump claims immunity from criminal prosecution over ANY act he committed while doing anything remotely 'official' while he was president. And he really does mean ANY act, including blatantly criminal acts like selling pardons, passing nuclear secrets or taking out political enemies.

Is that the kind of world we want to live in?"

Greg Sargent says that Trump's immunity nonsense is being seen asd his attempt to scuttle Jack Smith's prosecution, but "there’s another way to understand Trump’s move: It’s about what comes next. If he wins on this front, he’d be largely unshackled in a second presidential term, free to pursue all manner of corrupt designs with little fear of legal consequences after leaving office again."

On Judge Chutkan writing on Trump, "Defendant’s four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens." I wonder if John Neville Figgis would agree with that.

"The Hegelian dialectic works as a powerful tool for legitimizing whatever dialogue advances the global elite’s interest and looking back over the past 100 years, it is almost impossible not to see how its deliberate use has created a corrupted synthesis of state power. At a micro-level, this phenomenon can be observed now taking over America’s politics."
