“Last week’s Supreme Court argument in Trump v. United States on the question of presidential immunity left us wondering whether people, including some of the justices, have forgotten why we have law in the first place. The question before the court was narrow: If Special Counsel Jack Smith can show that President Donald Trump knowingly tried to subvert the results of a free and fair election, is Smith barred from seeking a criminal conviction because of some implicit principle not apparent in the Constitution? Put more simply, does it make sense for any country to immunize a defeated leader from accountability for using his power of office to reject the will of the people? When posed this way, the question answers itself.” (05/01/24)
