I NEVER thought that our Supreme Court could stoop so low. Trump needs to face justice just like the rest of us. What’s wrong with these people?!

[alasdairwhyte]

if the Potus can, then why cant Biden do it to Trump now?

[qjogjkq]

Women protect yourself against tyranny VOTE BLUE

[rayRay-pwgz]

Why are WE even allowing the supreme Court to decide if the president of the United States of America the chance to be granted full immunity when in office ? That would make him a king. The citizens have failed this country!

[GeorgieGirl]

I’ve always defended our judicial system but this Supreme Court is so far out of line it’s indefensible.

[Lana-oeqy]

Even if Biden is re-elected, we need a congress that can and would impeach Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. This country has that power through our vote.

[leroysanders]

The American Democracy is DEAD... The fact that the Judges allowed this Absolute Immunity hearing to be considered is alarming!

[danlee]

Impeach the cowards, Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh!!!

[BogdanTestsSoftware]

Forget the assassination of a rival -- talk about the assassination of a justice. Tell me again on what it depends for this to be possible. To make POTUS immune

[ziggggyify]

This is absurd. The reason we have have the 3 branches of government in this country, is to provide checks and balances. No branch and no person has complete immunity from prosecution of wrongdoing!

[maemargaretevans]

Lawrence is a voice of reason. Love him.

[garypatton]

Absolutely sickening from day one this country was meant that no person was above the law

[peterwainwright]

Lets not forget justice Thomas said the least because his "best friend" is a Trump enabler!

[chrisbudesa]

What will the SCOTUS do when a president sends a SEAL team after one or more members of the SCOTUS?

[Zyworski]

Listen here Lawrence, having the fate of our country riding on the back of an 80 year old man is not very reassuring. The corruption of the judiciary at the highest levels is truly terrifying and something needs to be done to prevent us from ever being in this position again.

[MarathonPat]

The question attorneys should ask is if the President ordered the murder of a Supreme Court justice should he be immune from prosecution? Not advocating murder but just saying the question should hit home with the justices on the danger of giving politicians above the law.

[mobilegamersunite]

This is pathetic and embarrassing 😳 the Supreme Court is no longer supreme...

[ulyssespinto]

It is a shame we are debating something so obvious. It is scary actually.A crime is a crime.

[lilymack]

You're right. I'm enraged. Shame on them.

[blueagle-diis]

im sorry but my ears cant wrap around hearing this . i think we need to impeach and remove these sociopath MAGA supreme court judges.
