Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : "President Trump respectfully disagrees with the D.C. Circuit's decision and will appeal it in order to safeguard the presidency and the Constitution.
42% : "Further, Trump cannot claim that such review would inhibit future presidents from taking action, because the interest in criminal accountability for his actions is so great both for the public and the executive branch itself.
40% : Trump will likely appeal the decision, setting up a second set of arguments before either the full bench of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court.
37% : Trump had argued that as a former president, he should be immune from criminal liability the same way former presidents are immune from civil liability for official actions taken while in office.
30% : Trump has argued that by not granting him complete immunity, the court could "open the floodgates" for future presidents facing politically motivated prosecutions once they leave office -- echoing the way he has regularly characterized the four criminal cases against him.
29% : Trump was making a three-pronged argument that the president is effectively untouchable: The separation of powers doctrine does not grant courts the power to review presidential acts; the executive branch requires immunity to prevent intrusion on executive functions; and a former president can only be criminally liable if he has first been impeached and convicted by Congress.
25% : The fact that Trump had been acquitted by the Senate during his second impeachment proceeding for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol meant he could not be charged again, Sauer argued.
22% : U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the Barack Obama appointee overseeing the now-paused case in federal court, hinted that she might give Trump additional time to prepare for trial.
