    This is going to be a very important ruling that many people are going to turn partisan.

    I believe it was Kavanaugh who asked about Obama and drones. That was a really good question.

    I don’t like the term immunity but I get it. We can’t go after the president for everything they do as it will turn into a clusterfuck really fast.

    This is one of those days I am glad I am not a member of SCOTUS or someone who has to deal with trying to figure this mess out.

    ETA: To be clear this isn’t as much about Trump as it is about the role of President. This could be a huge and impacting decision.

        and the answer won’t come from this decision. This will be a narrow decision I suspect. The court will keep it very focused for the reasons you listed above

            You won’t know until they vote and give their written opinion. The devil is in the details.

                Well it is rare to hear such a legal expert weight that he can read the minds of the courts. Based on the prior cases, they have been all over the place. The court isn’t evenly divided on each case.

                    but it’s not like they’ve been difficult to read at any stage of this hearing and other past cases they’ve taken.

                    I would expect someone to read what they actually say before making snide remarks.
