Supreme Court Immunity Decision - Democrats Are Furious

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and you know

this conservative Supreme Court has a way of getting under the skin of

Democrats and drives them absolutely crazy and I got to tell you guys I love

it. Before we get started please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to

grow. The big decision that we are waiting for from the Supreme Court, the

decision, well there's two really, decisions that are going to shape this

Supreme Court this term. One is can the provision of interrupting an official

government procedure apply to all those January 6th protesters and also apply to

former President Donald Trump. That is likely to be struck down and that is the

basis for most of the defendants in January 6th cases. That's what most of

them are being tried on, being convicted on and it may not apply to them. The

Supreme Court is going to decide that probably in the next week but there's

one more decision and that's the Trump immunity decision. Now Democrats were

furious that the court even took this case. They wanted the court to say no we

agree we're not taking the case and then the appeals court decision which said Trump did not have immunity would have stood but this is a much more nuanced

argument. Does the presidency have no immunity? Because if that's the case

that's supremely dangerous. You cannot have a presidency if there's no immunity

Presidents would get tried and convicted for all kinds of things that they have

to do as part of their official duties. On the other hand does a president have

blanket immunity? If a president has blanket immunity then they can commit

any crime they want and not be punished because they were the president when

they did it. That is a violation of everything I know about the Constitution

and equally if not more dangerous than the first scenario. So what has to happen

is you have to split the baby here. There's no doubt about it. You have to split the baby. You have to say the president has immunity for XYZ

things but not ABC things or vice versa. But you have to it can't be just a yes

or no decision on immunity and I think that's why it's taking so long. Although the decision's probably already been made and now Democrats, some Democrats

are having a conniption about this. They're having a total canary because they think the Supreme Court is trying to run out the clock for Trump for a

trial that, look let's face it, it's probably not gonna happen before the election already. But Democrats are pinning their hopes on this trial

because hey the Alvin Bragg one backfired and even if they don't get a

conviction they don't really care. They just want Trump tied up in court and not

campaigning. Let's take a look at Norm Ison, a legal expert and super liberal

having an absolute meltdown over this and then leave me your comments because

gosh I love to read them. Norm, it's interesting that the court isn't

scheduled to issue more decisions until Thursday, further delaying any resolution to Trump's immunity claim. At what point does holding that trial before the

election become totally unrealistic? Well, Wolf, we're on the brink of that

This question of whether the immunity that Donald Trump asserts even to send

SEAL Team 6 to assassinate his political rivals was first placed before the

Supreme Court on December 11th, 2023. There's no call to take six months to

decide the absurdity of that question and with every passing day they're more

responsible for the problem you identify of getting this trial on the books

We'll see, at least right about the two forks in the road, we'll see which one they take

You could still jam a trial in or if they announce a test with fact-finding

the district court has time to do a mini trial, ascertain the facts and determine

whether immunity applies or not. It doesn't on these allegations
