This week, Trump's team will argue before the Supreme Court that he is above the law.
It's a BS claim and he knows it, but until SCOTUS rules, the federal criminal conspiracy case against is on hold.
He's trying to run out the clock so he can't be convicted before the election.

No other president ever got it. Bill Clinton was going to jail the moment he left the White House if he hadn't taken a plea deal simply for perjury charges, a crime Trump would commit about every 3 seconds if allowed on the stand. You'd NEVER need to take a plea deal and the punishment if total Presidential immunity was a thing.

Being above the law is the power of a king or other type of dictator, and should not belong to a president. Anyone who wants to be above the law wants to be a king or dictator, and that should disqualify them for the presidency (or for any government office). That's just how it would be if I had my way.
