Jamie Raskin shuts down "presidential immunity" for Trump
Рет қаралды 1,293,378
Күн бұрынCLASS WITH JAMIE RASKIN episode 3: Jamie Raskin takes on the rightwing fallacy that as Commander-in-Chief, the President has both the power to do whatever he wants and absolute immunity from any legal consequences for criminal actions.
SUPPORT DEMOCRACY SUMMER: jamieraskin.com/democracy-sum...
00:00 Does the president have the power to do whatever he wants with absolute immunity?
04:09 Congress is an essential check on the president’s power
06:27 Trump attempted to bypass and overthrow the constitution on January 6
11:18 Trump’s claim vs. judicial review
18:25 Trump claims he’s categorically immune from criminal prosecution
23:08 Could the president order an assassination of his political rivals?
24:30 January 6th was an unprecedented assault
29:10 This fallacy is debunked
29:43 Q&A start
32:00 If the Supreme Court rules that Trump has immunity to commit criminal acts with impunity, would this extend to Biden?
33:55 On the complicity of the Supreme Court to take up this absurd question
35:57 What would it mean if Trump was granted immunity, if he were to win in November?
37:59 On Trump’s claim that a president can’t get anything done without immunity
39:40 Civil immunity vs. criminal immunity
40:47 Next up on Class: Emoluments Clause
41:30 Conclusion

On the other hand, that also provides the contra argument - that THE ONLY WAY to provide the necessary limitation of dictatorial power is by impeachment! That process is far more sensitive to random misuse brought on by the quirks of democracy - the relatively frequent (and healthy) change to the balance of Congress - where the detailed rules (aka Federal Laws) are made, after considered debate! The Constitution provides the fundamental guidelines, but it's Law that specifies the detailed rules! And it's Law that sets the actual boundaries (with Trials being used to measure incidents against those rules)! Democracy is really a pretty fragile state, that must be protected, quirks and all, from the dictatorial attacks by the likes of Trump! Fortunately, it does have the tools and practitioners (Law, the Constitution et al) to do so! I'm sure it will succeed - in spite of the present attacks!

@@pecquet-dubalaix8288 you apparently think that we are dealing with a normal politician who actually abides within the parameters of the legal code. We are not. Immunity has often been used to shield even police officers from criminal liability and if given the chance Trump would be more than willing to push that envelope to the limits. Thinking that even having this conversation is a good idea shows that you have no idea what you are dealing with.
