Official is when incident kept on camera, microphone or there were eyewitnesses. Other stuff didn’t happen. Even when caught with a smoking gun.

I don’t understand why the Dems don’t just hardball this. There must have been a lot of conversations on “what if scotus rules for trump and makes the president immune”. Preferably in a way that is specifically problematic for conservative SCOTUS judges.

Because Decorum is more important than anything else to them.

At this point, I think it only seems that way. I just don’t think they actually want to use power for anything good.

Is there still proponent of american exceptionalism among democrats?

I mean all those things are very “banana republic” in essence.

The US is the inventor of Banana Republics.

And yes very much so. White Supremacism and American Exceptionalism are both deeply ingrained in the US political system and most of its actors.

For bananas yeah but the idea of removing the local government and replacing it with a friendlier one to the exploiter of goods from the invading country is not a US invention.

I thought they punted that question of finding if Trumps acts were in official capacity back down to lower courts to decide?

Yes but they can always decide the lower court got it wrong and overrule them. It’s a nice way of waiting until after the election to make the decision.

Nobody knows or cares what the actual decision says.
