Yep. That should have been the issue from the beginning, but the trial court and CA weren’t having it.

Presidents are politicians. They customarily campaign. Does that mean campaigning is a core function of the presidency or an official act? Of course not. They raise money from donors frequently. Is raising money for your political party an official act? Again, that would be silly.
They were not. And it was an issue of first impression, as the SCt. noted. Going back to the discussion with crazed, the Constitution is indeterminate on this issue. Those judges wrote opinions that were reasonable, and cited the relevant law, especially when faced with arguments by Trump's team that he couldn't be tried for a crime unless he was first impeached and that he had total immunity for every act conducted while he was President, all the way up to and including the Seal Team 6 hypo, unless he was impeached. As you know, many decisions are limited by the quality of the lawyering in front of the court.
So what's your proof of Habba's nuanced and deep understanding of immunity law that is better than those judges?
Agree about the fund raising. What could be the test for a campaign speech? Biden’s last SOTU was a campaign speech, but it has official trappings.
I think you can figure out some good, relevant questions: Where was it? Who paid for it (lights, location, etc.)? What was the purpose? Was it part of the Pres.'s listed Constitutional duties? Something necessary to carrying them out?
Dbm we had William Wallace down at camp lago today. Rocky was hanging out too. I think he’s always down there now. Man I sure wish we were in that mix. I think they ran 48 out.
Yes I can figure out some questions. The point is that a campaign speech could be an official act
The issues are clear as mud.
Yep. The Tulsa King said he’s the 2nd George Washington. Fact. Mad Mel was wearing shorts. Weird but whatever. Elon is reportedly dropping 9 figures on a nice pad right down the street.
Mom used to say if she could do it over again she'd have gone into dermatology -- you can't cure them and they don't die.
Had a case ages ago. Girl presented to derm. Derm said that spot looks funny. Did a punch biopsy. Sent it out. Month goes by no response. Calls dr’s office. Haven’t heard. Lady at the desk says sorry we haven’t called everything is fine. Derm retires. Fast forward a few years. New derm. That spot looks suspicious. Oh yeah had it examined. All good. Dr says I want to see. Gets the old scan. Positive. Stage 0 skin cancer. Was never told. Now Dr sends her out and she has full on cancer. Dies a few years later. Mid 30s
Unless they get melanoma or whatever it was that killed Jimmy Buffett
And short SOLs where you’re fighting over delayed discovery etc
