We are getting into some of the facts of what is alleged to have happened.

Only took... 1.5 hours?

Alito asking why a President wouldn't self-pardon themselves again.

The Supreme Court not addressing an issue doesn't mean it's up for debate, it means the issue might have not come up because its fucking ridiculous and no one would ever think to make the argument.

As my step-mom is oft to say: Get the gun and shoot me.

"Oh no, a President might be chilled from **detaining US citizens without due process based on their race**"

Breaking News: GOOD.

Now a justice asking about whether interning Japanese-Americans during WWII would be criminally prosecutable.

Uh, I have Zero problem with that, actually. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know they think that is problematic, but I think that is a good example of something horrific we could have avoided by imposing criminal liability.

I think it is #ALITO (I think now that voice I hear is Alito, which makes sense with how insane it all is) now that is essentially saying we cannot trust grand juries to do their job correctly.

IF THAT IS THE CASE: WHAT ABOUT NORMAL PEOPLE SUBJECT TO THEM?

There is justice for the wealthy and powerful and fuck-all for everyone else.

On a tangential note, I don't care how much an attorney believes in zealous advocacy for their defendants, any attorney that stands before the United States Supreme Court and argues in defense of tyranny by unelected ruler should be ostracized from the legal community and society in general.

The legal community needs to do more norm enforcement.

Parsing voices: Alito (maybe it was Gorsuch) and Kavanaugh were definitely interested in the "clear statement rule" which would pretty much provide blanket immunity to all criminal laws except 1-3 laws.

Barrett seemed skeptical of the immunity claims.

Jackson just is constantly on a roll so that goes without saying.
