The fact that this presidential immunity question is being discussed in SCOTUS makes this nation look like the land of morons. Seriously.🙄

@StillIRise1963 If presidential immunity was a thing, then why did Nixon need a pardon?

This is not a serious country. This whole thing fails the common sense test

@hasani @StillIRise1963 Exactly. This was brought up by one of the justices.

I mean, why was a pardon appropriate? What's more, why did Nixon accept it? Everyone at the Supreme Court today was a lawyer and they all know that accepting a pardon is a tacit admisson of guilt. Nixon knew this too, of course.

A pardon is not the same as an exoneration.
