Former President Donald Trump’s legal team went big in their latest
effort to derail the prosecution against him for conspiring to interfere
in the 2020 election: They filed a motion to dismiss that could be
called a motion to make U.S. presidents into kings.

The 52-page legal motion filed in the D.C. case asks U.S. District Judge
Tonya Chutkan to dismiss the indictment based on the concept of
“presidential immunity” that Trump argues makes him immune from any criminal prosecution for acts he took as president. The legal precedent underlying the motion is that presidents have been immune from civil
lawsuits over actions taken while they served as president and Justice Department policy that sitting presidents cannot be indicted while in
office. But Trump seeks to expand this immunity from civil lawsuits for
money and DOJ’s policy of forbearance from prosecuting a sitting U.S. president into a limitless doctrine of executive immunity that would
green light nearly any criminal actions committed by a president.

His lawyers are hoping to find a constitutional case they can take to the Supreme court he packed. Even under those circumstances they are unlikely to prevail. This is just part of #45's standard operating procedure--stall and delay as long as you
can.

He packed? Bwah hah hah, haw haw haw, snicker snicker. He submitted to
congress the names of candidates to fill vacancies. His job per the Constitution and nothing different than Obama did. Speaking of Obama,
remember, “elections have consequences”. Some positive like the resulting SCOTUS and some negative like the results of this latest election.
