@Brandi Buchman @Gatekeeper Wait, what?

Wallace agreed that Trump did engage in insurrection, but Section III did not apply to him. The clause does not explicitly name the presidency, the paper reported.

So if you're president of the US, a law against insurrection has to explicitly mention that it also applies to you?

Some are more equal than others?

@hans This logic dovetails perfectly into Nixon’s assertion that ❝if the President does it, it can’t be illegal.❞ Much of the PotUS45 administration was predicated on this principle.
