Judge Luttig is being unabashedly realistic about assessing the direction the majority of the SCOTUS Justices will take in "resolving" the conundrum of Trump's "immunity" claim. Yet we must continue to embrace hope and work undauntedly towards the goal of keeping democracy intact

Biden's opportunity to make history - by spearheading foreign relations and by setting an example for other countries to follow, in transferring Russia's frozen funds to Ukraine, and by ultimately protecting democracy around the globe. He should not pass up this chance.

NYT/WP bestseller: CompromisedRight on, @AshaRangappa_ Of course he’d say such prosecutions remain fine with him if (a) based entirely on private acts and (b) undertaken pursuant to criminal laws expressly applicable to the president (of which there are just three or so).
Weird. In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote a law review article specifically contemplating criminal prosecutions for Presidents after they leave office, and noting that this possibility provides a check on a “bad-behaving or law-breaking” President. I guess he just changed his mind for some…
“We already pulled off the heist,” says a source close to Trump, noting it doesn’t matter to them what the Supreme Court decides now. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Impeachment doesn’t work to deter the gravest criminal abuses of power by presidents plotting to overturn the electorate’s November decision to end their reign with a crime spree between December and January that pushes a Senate trial on the House impeachment charges past Jan 20.
The right-wing justices parade of horribles: If presidents fear possible indictment for criminal abuse of their official powers, FDR mightn’t have interred Japanese Americans, JFK mightn’t have done the Bay of Pigs, Obama might’ve spared more civilians from death by drone. Awful?
Alito’s argument that presidents fearing prosecution when they’re private citizens again might try to stay in power after losing reelection doesn’t exactly sit well with what Trump is charged with having done — but of course the Alito Three don’t care about the case before them.
@tribelaw @judgeluttig Doesn't that argue SCOTUS is horribly broken? What would be involved in doubling the size of SCOTUS?
I agree in full with @judgeluttig but think there’s a slender ray of hope for democracy and the rule of law — if Trump fails to become POTUS again so that Smith can pursue a slimmed-down set of charges for Trump’s attempted coup. We mustn’t give up! newrepublic.com/article/181059…
@tribelaw Any protestor looking for carnage to end in Gaza that doesn't also denounce Hamas is missing the most obvious point - they started this latest conflict and have made no promises to stop committing acts of violence in the future.
@tribelaw Most of them don’t know who is who and what is what in that conflict. That should be clearly evident.
@tribelaw It shows the naïveté of our youth! It’s about seeking attention, rather than upholding an accurate message. They should direct their angst against Netanyahu. It’s his policies that have emboldened the division & hatred! AND….Trump will do the same here if we allow it to happen!
“They should be speaking up for the innocent victims of Hamas—both Palestinian and Israeli. Instead, they endorse Hamas's ideology with posters announcing resistance ‘by any means necessary’ and chants of ‘from the river to the sea,’ effectively glorifying the Al-Qassam brigades,…
Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions. Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
And as @AshaRangappa_ noted, the Court just weeks ago said the federal insurrection act applies to the president. Now he is immune?
Then Chief Justice Burger, no liberal, wrote in the 5-4 Nixon v Fitzgerald case on which Trump’s lawyers relied in SCOTUS today that no claim of immunity for crimes committed by a former president while in office would “be credible.” He was right. The justices who were eager to…
SCOTUS was normalizing in real time the profoundly unAmerican picture of president as crime boss liberated from all legal constraints — more powerful than George III or Louis XIV, inverting the meaning of 1776 and 1787 . . .
.@chrislhayes: “The conservative justices seemed to be almost openly colluding with Donald Trump, reconceptualizing the president in real time as a sort of lawless dictator and just ignoring all constitutional, textual, historical evidence that points in the other direction.”
No, I wasn’t wearing blue-tinted glasses 😎
'That was embarrassing': @tribelaw torches Trump-friendly SCOTUS justices on immunity youtu.be/D7qGyhE5VA0
No excuses left: This is Biden’s moment to lead globally by spearheading seizure of over $325 billion in frozen Russian reserves and transferring the billions to help Ukraine rebuild in the face of Putin’s onslaught
Congress is giving Biden one last chance to be a wartime leader. The Ukraine aid package encourages the president to seize frozen Russian reserves to support Kyiv, writes Robert B. Zoellick on.wsj.com/4bbXiiR
Right, @RDEliason. But we still need to cope with the fact that the actions Smith has charged as criminal include some that fall within what a SCOTUS majority regards as among a president’s official duties when viewed apart from the attempted coup in which they played a role.
“The justices have all the facts they need in order to decide, at the very least, which of the acts Mr. Trump is charged with are indisputably nonofficial, and thus not immune from prosecution.” They should let the trial begin without further delay. nytimes.com/2024/04/26/opi…

As usual, an important point by @AshaRangappa_ identifying an inconsistency by some conservative Justices on applying criminal laws to a president.⤵️ Indeed, here's Kavanaugh in 14th Amendment oral arg taking a very different approach than Kavanaugh in Trump v. US oral arg:
In the 14th Amendment case, the Court implicitly acknowledged that 18 U.S.C. 2383 (rebellion and insurrection) could apply to a former President, and provide adequate grounds for disqualification. So not sure why they are entertaining an argument that criminal laws writ large…
