By the way the intent with Ekeland's counterfactual example was to question exactly where we would end if we accepted the idea proposed by Trump's lawyers. It seems you missed that point.

When one person notices it, it might be a miscommunication or a mistake, but when several people notice and mention the same thing, it's time to take a serious look.

He [Ekeland] also offered the following counterfactual argument in favor of subjecting a sitting president to criminal law:
If the President were to rape, and then murder, a citizen on national television by shooting them in the head on 5th Ave in broad daylight, does the Constitution dictate that nothing can be done to the President with the possible exception of Impeachment? And if so, can the President rape and murder until impeachment proceedings wind their way through Congress?

What the President's lawyers actually said:
The framers of our Constitution understood that state and local prosecutors would be tempted to criminally investigate the President to advance their own careers and to advance their political agendas,” the lawsuit adds. "And they likewise understood that having to defend against these actions would distract the President from his constitutional duties. That is why the Framers eliminated this possibility and assigned the task to supermajorities of Congress acting with the imprimatur of the nation as a whole."

Clearly the intent here is not to place the President above the law but to protect him from frivolous and politically motivated legal action, which this certainly is.

The title is a lie - Unless, of course, you can produce a cite or video where Trump actually says "I am above the law", or something similar.Last edited by Charles; 09-20-2019, 03:32 PM.
