    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Think of it! Don't strong protections sound nice, though?

        Does the Constitution loving cougarboard crowd really believe this now that presidents can break laws all they want without consequence?

          At least a few of the SC wouldnt go against him, heck they wouldnt even take the "im immune to anything" case

          I hope your confidence is correct though

          the damage he can do on foreign policy is all on his own though

            There is no evidence for this. In fact, we have evidence of the opposite.

              So I started a poll over there: https://www.cougarboard.com/board/me...ml?id=32401832

              Currently:

              Yes to immunity: 3

              No to immunity: 46

                oops edited while you were posting I guess, sorry!


                4 is over estimating , a couple would probably vote he is immune, I do trust it I guess to not go along with it

                Local or federal appointed judges like the one delaying currently though..

                    Hey that's encouraging.
                    "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                          Yeah, I think this would be a 9-0 deal, although Thomas might be that insane to make it 8-1. But even that is unlikely. Ruling for Trump here would be like pouring gasoline on the Constitution and lighting it on fire.

                          The reason they didn't take it is because they wanted the appeals court to hand down the slam dunk decision so all they have to do after that is refuse to hear it.

                            It was such a good example of the ridiculous nature of the argument.
