Re 39&47
There is no Law if the President is above the Law.
Only the whims of a Mad wannabe King.
In United States v. Nixon, decided on July 24, 1974, a unanimous Court declared that although a president's communications are entitled to a great deal of protection, that protection is not "absolute."
Neither the doctrine of separation of powers nor the generalized need for confidentiality of high-level communications, without more, can sustain an absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances," wrote Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. Quoting from a trial court decision by Chief Justice John Marshall in an 1807 treason case against Aaron Burr, Burger added that "Marshall cannot be read to mean in any sense that a President is above the law."
But in the Trumpy immunity case, the Court took the opposite view, essentially determining that the criminal laws don't apply to the president at all, as long as official conduct is involved.
Welcome to the beginning of the end.
