immunity, the whole case gets thrown out and he has prevailed. if he contested the facts but said, okay, the trial can move forward, he would have to go through, yes, an entire criminal trial of many hearings, jury selection, the whole nine yards. he doesn t want to have to do that. so, he is trying to go straight to the heart of the case. that s what his lawyers have been doing, fanning out across the country, wielding this one argument as a cudgel, over and over again. i can t stress this enough, no court has bought it. either now or in the history of the republic. there is no secret footnote in the constitution that says, the president gets to commit crimes in office with no consequence. what he is done and is alleged to be illegal. there is simply no president or no logical reason why he shouldn t have to face up to the authorities and a jury of his peers, if those facts are flush with probable cause. joyce, i hate that you are the perfect guest to ask this next question to. sadl
