Is Shooting Protesters Legal Now?
The latest ruling by the kangaroo Supreme Court on presidential immunity put the credible legal world in turmoil.
Alito and his posse have turned the presidency into a kingship, with almost unlimited power to do anything they choose as long as it's considered an "official act."
David Leavitt reminded us of a horrific episode between Trump and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper during the George Floyd protests.
O'DONNELL: What was the most disturbing thing that the president said during that meeting on June 1?
ESPER: The president is ranting at the room. He's using a lot of foul language, you know, you all are F-ing losers, right? And then he says it to the vice president, Mike Pence. He's using the same language, and he's looking at Pence.
O'DONNELL: He called Mike Pence an F-ing loser?
ESPER: He didn't call him directly, but he was looking at him when he was saying it. And it really caught my attention. And I thought that we're at a different spot now. He's going to finally give a direct order to deploy paratroopers into the streets of Washington, D.C., and I'm thinking with weapons and bayonets, and this would be horrible.
O'DONNELL: What specifically was he suggesting that the U.S. military should do to these protesters?
