Haven't seen them supported by the trumpets here though.
His question is valid.
Do Trump fans think the president should be above the law?
His question was valid, but it was answered months ago. Your question is not. Its like asking "
Do Obama fans think the president should be an absolute monarch who rules by decree?"
The legal gray area over executive powers when it comes to subpoenas / prosecution of the president isn't new. It wasn't settled under Nixon or Clinton. And its obviously the role of any lawyers for the president to come down on the side of arguing the president is immune. That's their job. What kind of lawyers would they be if they were throwing away a significant legal fight over jurisdiction and privilege? As far as the question of
how the law should be resolved: Its not clear. If Mueller decided to push it for some reason, it might wind up at the supreme court. Theres a reason the precedents were set vague and limited, like saying prosecutors
could issue a subpoena for an interview only if they can show its material, that only the executive can provide it and they've exhausted all alternatives. But even that wasn't fully enshrined when Clinton voluntarily sat down with Starr.
but you'd have to live in a cave on mars to not have heard about all this over the past year
