Lol no. The only way anybody can touch the president is through an impeachment. Those judges need to go.

You don't seem to understand. This is the end of the line for legal challenges. There is no "Supremer Court."

The Constitution, the highest law in the land that grants the government power, says the president is immune to everything except impeachment by congress. Please go read it.

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." It does not say that the president or any of those other people cannot be investigated, indicted or tried for crimes. The Attorney General, during the Watergate Crisis, decided that the Justice Department would not indict a sitting president. All other Attorneys General have followed that policy. And, no one has ever said the president could not be held to answer to a state for breaking their laws. That is, until Barr said it. And, the Supreme Court, including both of President Pandemic's appointees said he is wrong.

I did read the relevant portion of the Constitution. And, now you have read it also.

"he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
At the same time he can pardon himself of anything but impeachment. So where do you think this is going?

I think that, once it is obvious that he has no chance to win the election, he will resign and Pesident Pence will pardon him and his family of all Federal Crimes. Hopefully, state Attorneys General will realize that it is best to let sleeping dogs lie, and will give him a pass. AG Vance of New York might elect to prosecute him, none-the-less. But, that will come next year, if at all.

Pardoning himself would imply that he has committed a Federal Crime. If the Supreme Court allowed the pardon to stand, impeachment, conviction and removal would follow, swiftly. His lawyers could not argue that he had not committed a Federal Crime in his Impeachment Trial. The pardon itself would be enough evidence for a conviction in that instance..

lokiare is a low-key troll, you're wasting your time.

Nope, it wasn't a Federal crime. He could pardon himself without issue as only the house can impeach him and we saw how that went last time. The senate will take a look and say 'nope no treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors' and vote it down.
