Trump argues divine right of kings immunity

It failed King Charles I's defense in 1849 and will fail again

Stripped of euphemisms and obfuscations, Donald Trump’s lawyers, with Trump standing by, argued today before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that Presidents possess the divine right of kings and that kings can do no wrong. Trump’s hirelings maintained that Mr. Trump commands absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for anything he did during his presidency—even assassinating political opponents or sexually molesting children during a White House Easter Egg hunt. The rule of law is not king. The king is law, and the king can do no wrong. King Charles I was wrongly convicted by Oliver Cromwell’s rump Parliament in 1849 because he ruled by divine right. Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty, or give me death” oration was misplaced. It would be a catastrophe if the President could be held accountable to the law. Megalomaniacs would refuse to serve, and they are what have made America great by exalting the armored knight and acting as God’s chosen people while exterminating thinkers. Julius Caesar was right: “Cassius has that lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.”

The three-judge panel was voiced skepticism of Trump’s verbal counterrevolution against the American Declaration of Independence and Constitution. A speedy, unanimous panel decision against Trump will be issued within days. His trial for obstruction, conspiracy, and defrauding the United States on January 6th will begin on March 4, 2024. The United States Supreme Court will deny review of Trump’s divine right of kings immunity claim. Trump will be convicted months before presidential polling in November. The rule of law holds by a thread.
