Trump asks the Supreme Court to place him even further above the law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : And the Supreme Court's Republican majority already gave Trump sweeping immunity from prosecution for crimes he committed using his official presidential powers last July.
41% : However, the July decision does have some language limiting the evidence that can be used against Trump in criminal proceedings unrelated to his official conduct.
38% : Realistically, the immediate stakes in this suit, which is known as Trump v. New York, are low:
24% : That case involved allegedly criminal actions Trump took while he was president, so the Court has not formally ruled on whether he can be prosecuted for crimes he committed before taking office, like the falsifying of business records.
21% : Regardless of what the Court decides to do, Trump is unlikely to face any punishment in the case.
17% : Justice Juan Merchan, the New York judge presiding over the case, recently signaled that he would sentence Trump to "unconditional discharge" -- meaning that Trump, though found guilty, will not face imprisonment, probation, or a fine.
