I find the modern USAnian partisan hack "conservatives" kind of ridiculous. If #Washington or #Jefferson or most of the other "founding fathers" of the USA had been in the courtroom when the "originalist" / "textualist" Supreme Court justices invented their "President is immune from all criminal law" doctrine from whole cloth, they would have immediately stood up, drawn their pistol, and ended such justices then and there.
Because they would have recognized it for what it is: the re-institution of the supreme King as absolute ruler, which they had risked life and limb to abolish and establish a new government of, for, and by the People.
They wouldn't have put up with it for a second.

Finally took the time to sit down with the Luttig amicus brief to #SCOTUS on disqualifying #Trump. Reading a brief of this nature is rarely amusing. This one? It’s lawyer crack.
Luttig uses the federalist society’s own #originalist reading of the issues, citing all the notorious conservatives — including Scalia and Thomas.
I’d forgotten about this though.
From the Amicus Brief:
** The next day, Mr. Trump issued his first tweet summoning his supporters en masse to Washington on January 6, 2021: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6. Be there, will be wild.” Pet. App. at 93a, ¶ 202. He repeated this summons “at least twelve times.” Id. at 94a, ¶ 204.**Ouch.

…The #court’s senior #justice, he had spent years on the losing side of cases, writing minority opinions grounded in his strict #originalist interpretations of the #Constitution. Now that fmr President #Trump had given the court a #conservative supermajority, Justice #ClarenceThomas was a guiding voice for a new #judicial mainstream.
He was playing a long game, & his fmr #clerks were among its most important players.
