... The Marquette Law School poll found that ... 62% of respondents opposed granting “former presidents” immunity, compared with 20% who supported that idea ...

Pollsters asked half of respondents whether “former presidents” should receive immunity and the other half whether “former President Donald Trump,” specifically, should be shielded from prosecution. The share of respondents supporting immunity for Trump rose by 8 percentage points.

The difference, the poll’s director said, appeared to be due largely to Republicans who generally oppose immunity for “former presidents” but who were more willing to support such protections for Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee ...

The poll, conducted March 18-28, is based on interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide conducted using the SSRS Opinion Panel. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

1. We don't need immunity. We have pardons, on a case by case basis.

Immunity is a green light for criminality. Pardons can be that, but they are not a guarantee. They can also be political, for humanitarian reasons, or for the public good so to speak. Or they may not be granted at all.

2. No one is above the law !

He is not an exception and needs to face consequences for what he did those 4 years and then on January 6th for trying to overthrow our government.

3. If I was Biden and SCROTUS (Supreme Court Republicans...)

Rules for the Chump, I would immediately collect the justices who voted for him, and ship them to Gitmo.
