Former Federal Judge Michal Luttig joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to react to the arguments made by Donald Trump and his legal team to the Supreme Court that a President has absolute immunity for any acts he commits while President and why it has no basis in even the Constitution.

"The law" as you refer to it, is created by Congress, which means that under this theory, they could revoke every single authority and duty of the President regardless of what the Constitution says. The next time the president and Congress are controlled by the same party, at the end of his term, the next president can be castrated and made to serve solely at the discretion of the party in control of Congress. You _really_ want to be careful what you wish for. Since Biden has ordered those who exercise his authority to ignore and wilfully violate the law, and dismantled the tools that proved successful at enforcing the law, there is a whole lot of room to prosecute him for his absolute disregard for enforcing immigration laws among others. You can not simultaneously argue that Mayorkas is just following orders, so shouldn't face any penalties _and_ that the man who gave those orders can't be, either. You can not simultaneously argue that Trump has no immunity, but Biden does. You have no right to complain if the principles you try to put in place for your enemy are used against your ally. If the government is weaponized against Trump, it will most assuredly be weaponized against "your guy" in the not too distant future. The Democrats in congress have pulled the "nuclear option" and had it used against them the next term enough times to prove that once you pull a weapon, the same becomes available to your opponent.

This time around the FBI, DOJ and law enforcement all over will be keeping an eye out for violent chatter on-line. They'll know to take it seriously and be prepared. Last time we were caught off guard because that had never happened in America before. Trump purposefully had only a handful of police around and Jan. 6th. Plus, some of his insurrectionists are still in jail. Maybe new ones won't be so willing to go to jail for him. Vote Biden/blue save our democracy.

I hope Judge Chutkan will accept the challenge from the lawless justices who vote to remand the immunity question in any form to her. She should issue a swift, unapologetic and forceful opinion that the Constitution does not contemplate, much less require, any immunity for a president, former or current, for any crime. She should refuse to make any determination on any charge regarding the official acts, private acts or the ridiculous "periphery" acts formulation. She should force them to go on record as to whether they are authoritarian, political hacks in robes or actual justices of the Supreme Court.

The other 7-8 justices just didn't seem they were all that into hearing about 'little Donny's fight on the playground'

I wonder how many times since the creation of SC that their integrity has come into question? How do these justices internally justify not adhering to the Constitution? How do we not have anything in place for when the SC blatantly snub their noses at conflict of interest and for padding their incomes with gifts? Also, when the SC does not apply the rule of law as stated in constitution, how is that ok and we just plug along like nothing to see here? It’s confusing and frightening. Do we even need them if they are not doing their job for the American people and judge like it’s the Wild West?
