Why Is Trump Getting Special Treatment From the Supreme Court?

 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/29/trump-special-treatment-supreme-court-00144138

Start with the weakness of Trump’s argument. There is absolutely no constitutional text, no precedent and no authority in the original debates over the Constitution’s ratification to support the idea for a former president’s absolute immunity. The argument advanced by Trump’s counsel is patently absurd. The idea that senators could impeach a president who threatened them with deadly violence and so no criminal justice process is needed, is facetious. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals rightly ridiculed it — and issued a comprehensive, tightly reasoned and unanimous opinion that presented no good cause for further review.

    1. Obviously, you don't accept the validity of previous patterns of behavior Trump most be judged by a different set of rules since he has immunity from all crimes!

    2. Never said that. I said that each side has a bias - Trump's side believes the rules don't apply to him. Biden's side believe the rules don't apply to him.
