   The Nixon rulings at the centre of Trump’s Supreme Court immunity case

   Former president and special counsel have invoked different Supreme Court cases involving Richard Nixon to push opposing arguments as to whether Donald Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution

   The case began in 1978 when Arthur Fitzgerald – a former contractor for the US Air Force – sued Nixon and other White House aides for damages after he lost his job after giving testimony to Congress.

   Nixon appealed to a lower federal court, claiming he had immunity from civil liability. When the judges in the lower court disagreed, the former president took the case to an appeals court. That court also ruled against him.

   Then, Nixon appealed the case to the Supreme Court.

   Though the case was decided after Nixon left office, the court ruled in his favour, deciding that “the President’s absolute immunity extends to all acts within the ‘outer perimeter’ of his duties of office”.

   In his brief to the Supreme Court, Mr Trump’s attorneys have argued he was acting within his official “outer perimeter” when he made false allegations of election fraud and asked then-vice president Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

   “Neither the doctrine of separation of powers nor the generalized need for confidentiality of high-level communications, without more, can sustain an absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances,” Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote in the opinion.

   Nixon handed over the tapes and papers and resigned 16 days later.

   But, beyond Nixon, the ruling meant that a president must comply with a criminal subpoena and that presidential privilege cannot excuse someone from the judicial process.

   Trump Mercilessly Mocks His Former AG Bill Barr for Endorsing Him

   Donald Trump is tearing into his former attorney general for endorsing him.

   Trump was apparently thrilled at his opportunity to gloat upon seeing Barr’s comments.

   “Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating Voter Fraud in our Country, has just Endorsed me for President despite the fact that I called him ‘Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy’ (New York Post!),” he wrote on Truth Social late Wednesday.

   “Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted Endorsement, I am removing the word ‘Lethargic’ from my statement. Thank you Bill. MAGA2024!”

   Immature egotistic Republicans appear to be totally mentally ill.

   Remember when Nixon had his thugs attack protesters? Of course you don’t.

   Bibi is the right wings darling, he won’t stop the genocide that’s what happens when you vote for psychopathic right wingers.

   Biden has been trying to stop the war, Bibi wants to murder more. Republicans support Putin, Putin supports Iran, Iran supports Hamas, republicans have turned their backs on the free western world.

   Right wingers are really unhappy with student protests, Trump is unhappy he has no protesters. Josh Hawley said protesters should be killed and arrested.

   The federalists packed the Supreme court and angered every woman in the country.
