Jay Sekulow is Dead Wrong -- and so is the Court

"This is bad," says an email from Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for law and Justice. "And I don't think most Americans realize what's coming.

"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are trying to change the Constitution to remake the U.S. Supreme Court and put your rights and freedoms in danger.

"Their devious constitutional amendments will reverse the Court's immunity decision for President Trump and other Presidents (a case we helped win) and enforce term limits for Justices on the Supreme Court."

It might be helpful for Mr. Sekulow to read the Constitution, for he is dead wrong. There are two places in that venerable old document that discuss immunity.

First, Article Two, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Rather than absolving presidents of crime, this says they can and should be held accountable. That is the opposite of immunity.

Second, Article One, Section 3, Clause 7: "Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."

Is there any question? The president is liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgement and punishment, which is exactly what was happening when the Supreme Court bailed Trump out. I've always wondered what part of the Constitution the Court cited in its decision because it just isn't there.

No, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not trying to change the Constitution, they are trying to enforce it. Our Constitution is a living document, it can be amended when necessary. So, amend it. Don't allow Trump to get away with violating it.
