In reply to the discussion: 'Profoundly ahistorical': 4-star generals side with Jack Smith, tell Supreme Court Trump's immunity claims are 'assault' [View all]malthaussen
(17,307 posts)Thing is, I am damned sure the justices of the USSC, every one of them, know exactly what DJT and the GOP are trying to do. What I am not damned sure of is that enough of them don't support it to stop it.
Rationally, one would think that the justices are aware that granting Mr Trump immunity for his multitude of crimes against the people of the USA will be to their own detriment, but one thing seems clear about DJT and the GOP: rationality does not apply. All sober analysts (and even a few drunk ones) agree that it is not in the interests of the Court to further indulge this madman. I've heard that a person can always be counted on to act in his own best interests. This may be true, but it doesn't acknowledge that other people may calculate their best interests differently from the way I would.
Anyway, the generals are lecturing the Court on what they already are fully aware of. If that's not "mansplaining," I don't know what is.
