(54,770 posts)So, Im not sure what trump has accomplished unless Congress rushes out and enacts such a law.
Im not endorsing Kav, but if he holds to his interpretation of law and the issue comes up, we are good as far as going after trump.
Now his personal beliefs are that a Prez is too important to be hampered by civil or Criminalm offenses while in office. More importantly, Impeachment is the process if the Prez does something serious. Id love for trump to be tried for libel or jaywalking, but it may be Democrats next time. So, for certain lesser crimes and civil actions, I sort of agree those need to wait until Prezs term is up or hes removed from office. Again, Id love for trump to be hassled right out of the country, but it may be a Democrat next time.
Hes still impeachable if Congress does its job. And, under current law, it appears Kav would support an investigation or indictment.

(27,813 posts)Trumps legendary-in-his-own-mind ability to assess someones personality within minutes, according to him has proven to be incredibly faulty.
He was sure he knew Kim Jung-Un was sincere about denuclearization he got played. He was sure that people like Flynn and Manafort would easily outsmart anyone looking into their activities they didnt. He was sure Cohen was going to take a bullet for him he isnt.
No doubt Trump went judge shopping to find someone hes sure will be in his pocket when the need arises and all he needed to see was Kavanaughs writings on the powers of the presidency to be convinced that he was the man for the job.
The thing about Trumps judgment or what passes for it is that it is invariably shallow, based only on self-serving interests and gut feeling, and any real scrutiny beyond that is dismissed as a waste of his time.
Theres always the chance that the Dotards assessment of Kavanaugh is as off-base as all the rest of his assessments of the people he insisted he had read so well.
A lot of Republicans are unhappy with this pick and that tells me something, too.

(34,661 posts)Holy pick for the Supreme Court. Trump is not capable of choosing someone or any one. This the Federalist pick. Who are the Federist's,Koch Family,Walton Family,the Billionaires of Wall Street.
This Pick insures Corporate America their control over any and all Peoples and they can pick and Choose who gets to live in the USA and who will never have that opportunity. We just slipped into a Fascist Kleptocracy today.
