    Ginny Thomas is NOT a victim. She is an active participant.
  • @5ft18eh
    This is INSANE that its even being discussed
  • @lynnjacobs2091
    Come on SCOTUS - A Crime is a Crime, no matter who commits it!!
  • @higgs923
    Getting it right would have been to decline the case and let the other cases against him proceed.
  • @brianrohan8603
    If they wanted to "get it right", they should have refused to hear Trump's ridiculous appeal, and simply allowed the lower court's thorough, reasonabke and rational ruling stand. The subject matter of the apoeal could NOT be more absurd ... a sitting US POTUS being afforded absolute immunity to do "anything" and "everything" that he/she wants without any risk of accountability whatever? Really? What a horrible joke!
  • @4014Thugsy
    This is a delay, who actually believes we shouldn't have all our leaders held accountable? All of our leaders Have to live under the same laws as the rest of us. PERIOD
  • You cannot decide this case in Trump's favor without overthrowing the American constitutional order. It's as simple as that.
  • @PKing-px5dg
    The question before the Supreme Court is: Do we have Equal Justice for All or Do we have a King or not? It's not that hard, just rule!
  • @cindyyeager8627
    ??????? Really? This is not difficult. No one is above the law.
  • @rorygee482
    The SC lost ALL credibility in just hearing this case. If a middle school debate team put this forward they would be laughed out of the school. It’s PATHETIC and EMBARRASSING beyond belief.
  • The justices hide behind closed doors. They need to face questions from the press just like Presidents and Congress.
  • @phil4208
    9 unelected people making decisions for 350m people, expand scotus and end the filibuster
  • @mybrother4474
    They don’t want to get into the details of the case because there is no case.
  • @goettling
    Complicating a very simple question in order to delay without looking biased. That sums it up. Shame on them!
  • @JoeStoppinghem
    They should have asked, “If the president disapproves a judges ruling, does he have the power to remove them from the bench?”
  • @ronbally2312
    Term limits should be implemented for the Supreme Court
