Functional democracies have mechanisms for charging their criminal presidents with their crimes, even when they're still in office.

Our SCrOTUS says lack of immunity would cause a "chilling effect" that would discourage them from committing crimes in the guise of 'official acts'. THAT'S THE POINT. There NEEDS to be a chilling effect to discourage presidential criminality.

The orange menace should have been arrested on January 6 2020 and held until trial. And when that didn't happen he should have been arrested for espionage when they found the stolen classified documents and held until trial. As far as that goes, he should have been arrested in 2016 for conspiring with Russia.

Our 3 branches of government concept is fundamentally broken. We need a 4th independent branch, specifically for the purpose of prosecuting government corruption, outside of the control of the other 3 branches, and with no power over anyone but government employees and officials, an organization with the power and responsibility to go after corrupt politicians, judges, and cops.

Of all the reasons that might stop him from invading Panama, his need to------- Putin might actually keep him from doing it.

He should have done this four years ago.

The ERA has been passed and ratified. There is ZERO excuse for it not to already be in the official text of the constitution.

And NO, congress DOES NOT have the 'right' to limit the ratification period, nor do states have any 'right' to rescind ratification. Nor do the courts have ANY power to adjudicate the composition of the constitution itself.

Biden now has less than 24 hours to use the power of executive orders to force the archivist to publish this already ratified amendment. I hope he uses his power to do so.
