7. This has always been a requirement when we've considering charging a president.

They talked about charging Obama after he used drones to kill a couple of terrorists. And yes, as mentioned, it was much discussed with Nixon. There were very few who thought Nixon was right when he said "if the President does it, it's legal." In fact, I'd be surprised if this very issues was discussed, and decided against Trump, in the last two decisions in this case on this issue.

The world has gone mad. If they do remand it, the issue is, who decides? The jury or the judge and if the court says the judge decides, will the Court allow another interlocutory appeal on the same damned issue? (The case argued today was an interlocutory appeal which is so rarely granted it's shocking.). Someone on the court (or 2 or 3 or more) think this case should not go to trial.

My question is, can Roberts keep them in check?
