So it's early, but has anyone read about how we can drag executive immunity back into the realm of sanity? Things I can think of:
1) Legislation
2) Constitutional amendment
3) SCOTUS re-do
All of these will take time and possibly a new Senate. Are there others? Does #1 even work?
@Boyceaz I think numbers 2 & 3 could definitely work (I'm interpreting 're-do' to mean expand the court & appoint sane ppl, who would repudiate the immunity case if given the opportunity).
The only way I can think of where legislation could work is by limiting SCOTUS' jurisdiction to prevent them from hearing cases having to do with presidential prosecutions, say.
But none of these will rehab the current criminal cases, I don't think. US v trump is the law, and will probably outlive trump.
@rpardee Yeah, I'm definitely thinking long-term here.
@rpardee There still needs to be something (Constituationally?) whereby an appointed Judge can't rule on a case involving anyone who appointed them.
