Trump VP hopeful Sen. J.D. Vance says immunity 'has to apply to the president'

As the Supreme Court is set to rule on whether a former president is shielded from criminal immunity, potential Trump running mate Republican Sen. J.D. Vance tells "Face the Nation" that he's "very confident" that the Supreme Court will "recognize some broad element of presidential discretion." "The president has to be able to do his job in the same way that police officers, judges and prosecutors enjoy some immunity – that principle has to apply to the president."

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted Nov. 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

State run media spin doctor. Let's just call it lying.

[chrismoe]

[brownbanana]

That’s some impressive bootlicking. It comes so natural to him.

[reneeparker]

Then Biden should deploy Seal Team 6 to take care of Trump.

What would be so bad about having a crawl at the bottom of the screen laying out the fact checks on these serial liars?
The interviewers appear terrified to call them out but they owe their audience some level of factual accuracy.

ask yourself - Why does she have much Anger

[HeatherSRealEstate]

This interviewer is TERRIBLE. She’s not even intelligent enough to TRY to hide her bias. I like that Vance was very good at correcting her suggestive questions and their false premises.

[donandtee]

DB here. Your words, are a deep tell!! BS.

[GreenTurtle-rwcl]

J D is a smooth talking, double speak politician that won’t answer a question honestly. No thanks.

[PattyASMRPatterns]

He is so full of it - I don't know how he spews that stuff out with a straight face.

[ernestoxavier]

The answer is simple, President Biden did have a bad night, but his accomplishments, by far outweigh one debate. Women of America, never forget who were the ones that did this to you. Pro-choice pro-democracy pro-equality I'm definitely voting straight ticket Democrat.
Biden/ Harris 2024 👍🏽 100%

[PathfinderHistoryTravel]

I had forgotten what a smart, articulate politician sounded like. Refreshing!

[KingOfTheSeas_]

This guy dodged every single question and his supporters will eat it up. Remarkable

[chadwernette]

Presidents should have absolute immunity. After all, how would they be able to commit crimes or international crimes for that matter. I love that I could be prosecuted for not showing up for jury duty but anyone with power(both governmental and corporate) can do whatever they like with no consequences. The lady can take her blindfold off now. Some of us know how the world works and it's only a matter of time before most of us do.

[ReviewAService]

Do the people have a say about this? Who wants someone to lead without immunity? Ever heard of - "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely!"
