trump isn't arguing he's innocent, he's arguing he has the right to be a criminal

[dman]

It's totally ridiculous that SCOTUS is even hearing the matter. 😡

[ppckrtt]

Still cannot wrap my head around that a bizarre claim as presidential immunity is a matter being seriously discussed.

[MeanBlackKitty]

What happend with NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!! This is ridiculous and such a shame.

[sarafuentez]

I am so ashamed of our Supreme Court justices!!! Shame on ALL OF YOU. I feel sick because of your finding or lack there of.

[bmcc]

He met with the construction workers, but in reality, he never, ever pays his construction workers or their bosses! Ain’t the irony grand.

[btcrazee]

Why is SCOTUS even hearing this??? Total bs

[tigerbackwood]

It’s really sad that our Supreme Court is here to serve one person.

If SCOTUS says that Presidents can have SEAL Team 6 "unalive" their political rival, what would stop the current president from "unaliving" Donald Trump? Why hasn't anyone followed the logic and asked that question?

[sashakasprzyk]

In 1980, to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish Steelworkers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on New York's Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands. The workers were paid as little as $4 an hour for their dangerous labor, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all.

United States v Nixon : "no person, not even the president of the United States, is completely above the law"

[vindiesel]

"No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not asked as a favor."  "The judges who administer justice in our countries must be seen as ethical and subject to meaningful correction when it is necessary. Nothing less than the rule of law is at stake."  ~Former United States President Theodore Roosevelt

[CollinMcLean]

Trump didn't "grow up" around construction sites. He was the son of a multimillionaire who ran a construction company. Trump wasn't a laborer growing up in an apartment in Brooklyn and grabbing drinks with the other machine operators after busting his back... He was growing up in a skyscraper looking down on all of them while pretending that his dad hugged him.
He was around construction in the same way Jeff Bezos has experience in trucking.

"Can we stop giving Trump ideas?!?"
pure gold

[jvqxtmv]

The Supreme(ly corrupt) Court should never have taken up the case of Total Presidential Immunity! If such a thing existed, then the Constitution would not allow the Impeachment of a President for " high crimes and misdemeanors" since, with total Immunity, no such thing could possibly exist!!!

[jeremyalexander]

I've been in construction for 25 years he is not one of us

[drewbymusic]

I love the daily show format with alternating hosts and sometime double hosts. It’s super refreshing and I bet it keeps things interesting for the cast

[veer-psnv]

In all fairness the question should be, out of all the presidents having ever been in office why is it that Donald Trump is the only one needing this immunity. ??? No other president in the history of this country has ever gone before The supreme Court to argue this. WHY ??

[denniskeena]

248 years without special immunity says it all!

[michaelscarlino]

Biden, should definitely use the immunity act, and end this madness.
