particularly justice brett kavanaugh was very concerned about the idea of letting criminal prosecutions go forward over actions taken by the president. he continually floated this idea, this rule that would say that unless a statute specifically mentions the president, that then it can't be applied against hem. that is a slight variation on the whole question of immunity but it would get their via a different rout and would essentially mean the end of jack smith's case. neil gorsuch moated the possibility of this situation, he said would lead to just every president pardoning themselves on the way out of office which is a novel and kind of dangerous situation for the court to be in which has never had to consider to thelegality of whether presis can do that. we also saw that justice samuel alito. another republican appointeee to the court. a conservative one albeit not a trump appointed justice. this would lead presidents to essentially try to stay in office unlawfully. to hole on to power. he said that would put america in a dangerous cycle of undermining democracy. so there were quite

from 2018, we're trump held the swearing in ceremony for brett kavanaugh. i was covering the white house at that time. i remember this very well. every single supreme court justice attended and their names were read aloud. and when you look at that moment now and how unusual that is, i wonder what's telling to you about it. >> a couple of things. first of all, the justices themselves were a little bit tricked into attending. they had been given a bit of a guarantee from the white house counsel's office wouldn't have been overly political event. and it turned out to be extremely political. but when donald trump read all their names individually, he was almost as if he was holding them up as blue ribbons. you know, when you always acted as if the court was his, remember, in the early days of his administration when he lost in lower courts on some policy issues, he'd say, wait till we get to the supreme court. but i have to say katelyn just last monday when donald trump announced his new abortion position, saying he wanted to leave it for sure to the states >>

did not get a lot of purchase with the conservative justices, because the conservatives, especially brett kavanaugh, where pitching this idea that there are these other article two powers that are not specifically mentioned, that are somewhere in the penumbras of the constitution, that a president gets to wield without any kind of oversight or accountability. and that this case is really about sussing those powers out and shielding them from prosecution. and, you know, i think it's really ironic. in overturning roe v wade, the supreme court began by saying the word abortion doesn't appear in the constitution. well, the term presidential immunity certainly doesn't appear in the constitution, and yet the conservative justices, much to i think brown jackson's dismay, kept pressing this notion that it exists somewhere and it should, at a minimum, prevent the jury from considering some of trump's actions leading up to january 6th that were somehow related to these mysterious article two the powers that are not laid out specifically in the constitution. like removing members of the department o
