D.C. Court of Appeals made a horrible ruling against Trump

I'm not the biggest Trump supporter, but Trump Derangement Syndrome is truly a problem. These guys hate President Trump so much they're willing to defy the Constitution and any law to get him.

Presidents have blanket immunity and they have this for a reason. The D.C. Court of Appeals said this though:

“For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant,” the panel wrote in the 57-page opinion.

Trump was President on January 6th.

The line, "For the purpose of this case" is lawless and reckless. They have reduced Presidential immunity to a case by case basis. They said:

“We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter,” a three-judge panel wrote in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Yes it does. That's what Presidential immunity is. You have blanket Presidential immunity to avoid a situation where Presidents aren't being Prosecuted for everything they did in office.

This would mean President Obama becomes Citizen Obama and he could be prosecuted for everything he did while in office. President Clinton is now Citizen Clinton and can be prosecuted for everything he did in office.

The D.C. Court knows this and this is why they said "For the purpose of this case." What they have just done is reduce Presidential immunity to a case by case basis.

If Republican Lawyers were smart, they would flood the courts with cases against Obama and Clinton based on this ruling and say each Court has to decide these things on a case by case basis based on the D.C. Court ruling.

TODAY the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments for/against a former U.S. President being immune from being Prosecuted for actions taken while he/she was President.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case.

The high court agreed it would review whether Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has immunity from prosecution.

Arguments at the Supreme Court are expected to begin at 10 a.m. Thursday, but the former president will not be present for the proceedings.
