The upshot of yesterday's oral arguments on The Very Unstable Lunatic vs. the rest of us boils down to his lawyers asserting that, as President, he is totally immune to even investigation while in office.
But here's the kicker, which, so far as I've read and heard, no one has yet noticed. Federal statutes carry a five year statute of limitations. The infamous shooting on Fifth Avenue is state murder without any limitation, but The Very Unstable Lunatic could do anything within the Federal system, starting with first term inauguration up to the third year if a (woe is us if...) second term happens, and never be held accountable. He could, fur instance, illegally suspend this year's election, declare himself winner. He could, illegally, appoint himself President for a third term. And so on. Unless the Right Wingnuts grow spines and remove him, there is no recourse. Since Moscow Mitch and the rest love being a authoritarian minority, what do you think?
