Summary
Just days after his right-wing Supreme Court justices gave him presidential immunity, Donald Trump has endorsed a military tribunal prosecution for former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. Presumably, the Supreme Court will have Trump's back on that crime as well. Now that the Supreme Court has converted the lawless into the lawful, and given that Trump made clear he will use military tribunals to prosecute his enemies (by falsely labeling them enemies of American democracy), how should President Joe Biden respond and what should he do with the new powers the Supreme Court just created and bestowed on him and all future American presidents?

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters with former federal prosecutor and MS NBC analyst, |
| 0:04.9 | Plen Kirchner. Directly following the Supreme Court giving absolute immunity to Donald Trump, |
| 0:20.0 | he endorsed a military tribunal to prosecute the enemies of democracy. |

| 0:30.0 | Well friends, as you well know by now, the Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump has not one, but two kinds of presidential immunity. |
| 0:43.1 | When he is doing things that are part of his core |
| 0:46.8 | constitutional powers, he has absolute presidential immunity |
| 0:52.1 | with literally no questions asked. |
| 0:56.6 | Nobody can ask or investigate whether what he did was motivated by a lawful purpose or a lawless purpose. |
| 1:07.8 | You are not permitted to ask. |
| 1:10.0 | Why? |

| 1:22.2 | core constitutional powers, he has what the Supreme Court calls |
| 1:26.8 | presumptive immunity. |
| 1:29.7 | But friends, given the test the Supreme Court set out for presumptive immunity it is damn near |
| 1:36.8 | absolute immunity. So with these new powers, Donald Trump just endorsed, promised us in essence that he will use |
| 1:50.5 | military tribunals to prosecute, to punish the enemies of democracy in reality, his enemies, |
