In reply to the discussion: So the DOJ acknowledges that the Bush War Criminals are guilty of crimes! [View all]Summer Hathaway
(2,770 posts)and citing the law is not "spin". It is what it IS - the law:
"In 1982, the United States Supreme Court held in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982), a 5-4 decision, that the President of the United States has civil immunity for actions taken while in office."
Whether you like that law or not, it's still THE LAW.
The plaintiff is free to say whatever she chooses in her complaint; that doesn't mean a judge will accept it as having a sound basis in law.
But let's go back to your assertions as set out in your OP, i.e. that the DOJ took the position that Bush was "just following orders", that the DOJ has "acknowledged" that Bush et al were guilty of crimes, that the US Government has admitted that crimes were committed by the Bush Administration.
I've asked to you back up those assertions over and over.
Should I take it that you are "refusing to defend", and are thereby "admitting guilt" in that you lied about those accusations?
If you have any FACTS to back up what you've stated in your OP, I'm sure we'd all like to hear them.
