Chin: Your position, as you said moments ago, is that the immunity is absolute.

Consovoy agrees.

1. Listening to the Second Circuit hearing LIVE.

Did I just hear a judge ask one of Trump's attorneys 'What about the 5th Ave...". I assume he meant Trump's statement that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any support. I think the judge posed it as a shooting... I believe Trump's attorney said Trump would be immuned at least while in office. No district attorney could file charges until he was out of office.

Did I hear that right?

THAT CAN'T BE TRUE.

2. He probably said it, but it certainly isn't true.

3. I wonder of the Judge hurt himself trying not to laugh.

5. Judges love it when you argue that they don't have jurisdiction
