"Faithless" Supreme Court - DHBirr - 07-09-2020
Ooooh, I'm snickering about this.
So much for the president's — any U.S. president's — "absolute immunity." Even the Justices he himself nominated turned against the Dotard's monarchical claims. What? Have they no obsequious loyalty to America's Chosen God-King? Heresy and blasphemy! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Woah. They went all the way back to Aaron Burr - who fought in the American Revolution - for their earliest supporting case law.
So much for the Nicknamer-in-Chief's complaints that he's being treated differently than other officeholders in the executive branch. Granted, Burr only made it to Vice-President, but the precedent is still there. His Orangeness is being treated the same way that your "Founding Fathers" were treated.
The law applies to serving politicians. Good to know.
