REMINDER FOR AMERICANS:
The US Constitution and common law are rooted in pre-18th century *English* legal jurisprudence and traditions.
And the "presidential immunity" bullshit is an attempt to rewind the clock to before 1649, when Parliament got fed up with the King's bullshit, put him on trial, and beheaded him.
Y'all: Trump wants to revive the divine right of kings.
You know who pulled the German equivalent of that stunt? Hitler.
(I will summarily block anyone who raises Godwin's law.)
