President Joe Biden said he “can’t think of one” reason presidents should receive absolute immunity from prosecution, as Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has claimed.
What a crazy legal defense. ‘Your honor, I’d like to dismiss these charges because I privately unilaterally decided while president that silently dissolving the the Constitution, usurping all powers of the other branches of government and asserting the divine right of kings is actually an unenumerated presidential power, which I secretly exercised three years ago but only decided to reveal now. Anyway, because of this, I’m actually the presiding officer in this court. Case dismissed.’
Obviously, I’m aware that it’s just a delay tactic, but even so, it’s truly bonkers.
Have you ever watched the Air Bud movies? They say things like “well there’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball.” A lot of things are like that, unless there is someone to say “yeah, but if you do that we’re picking up the ball and leaving” or the better “yeah, but if you try we’ll pick you up and throw you out.”

“I’m the boss, now you’re fired. How’s that for a fantasy, my friend?”
It takes 6 to tango
That’s actually what the prime minister did in Australia during Covid. He took all the power, secretly.
