When you tell a narcissist that he’s above the law don’t be surprised when he takes you at your word.

Sounds like grounds for immediate disbarment of those lawyers.

So the very thing that the President is sworn to uphold, he is not subject to himself? That is one fucked up line of thinking…

The argument is apparently that the president can do literally anything he wants, and not only can judges not tell him not to do it even if it’s blatantly unlawful, he can keep doing it except to individuals who successfully sue. Whether they’d be even allowed to form a class action is unclear, but if you’re not part of a lawsuit, the president can go on doing illegal and unconstitutional things to you.
Justice Thomas approves!

Well why did we throw King George III out the door in the first place?

I mean, considering that the DOJ shielded Nixon in much of Watergate, it’s becoming clear conservatives certainly want a conservative, theocratic monarchy, and we’re finally seeing the decades-long mission to erode accountability coming into fruition.

So swearing the oath doesn’t mean anything at all if it doesn’t apply to you?
This should be immediate disbarment from Trump’s chumps.

I hope they’re just setting the lawyer up to invoke the 14th, section 3. Because all Trump’s lawyer is describing is treason.

Should be grounds for immediate disbarment of the lawyers and impeachment of trump. The president quite literally swears to uphold the constitution. It doesn’t work if the constitution doesn’t apply to the president

>Trump claims that only those legally in the United States are “subject to” American jurisdiction
If this was true, wouldn’t it mean they can’t be deported, since the US wouldn’t have the jurisdiction to even interact with them?

So why did he swear an oath?

The Constitution applies to EVERYONE in this country. Even the POTUS. He swore to uphold it, not piss on it, then set it on fire!
CLOWN!

I mean, after SCOTUS basically gave POTUS immunity for official acts, it’s not that extreme of a jump.

If there is ONLY ONE PERSON in the ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY that it applies to, it’s the goddamn president. Holy fucking shit, these people suck more and more (Trump dick) every fucking day.

The president takes an oath to uphold the constitution as do the lawyers. The lawyers are complicit and actively attacking our constitution and there should be ramifications

8647 – Time to revoke his presidency and put him behind bars.

Would be real fucking cool if Roberts did the correct thing for once. I know he does it for like every 10 bad decisions he makes.

>Constitution doesn’t apply to the president
Presidential oath: „I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, **preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.**“
It’s in the oath. These lawyers are bonkers and so is the president.

That sounds like treason to me

If the constitution doesn’t apply to the President (Trump), then he is not the President, as the constitution is what makes him President.
