Public Notice

Is Supreme Court just winging it in Trump immunity fight?

At the attention-grabbing arguments over Donald Trump’s claim of sweeping presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, the conservative bloc seemed largely unconcerned by a key flaw in Trump’s theory: Nothing in the Constitution explicitly mentions the concept of presidential immunity.
