There are examples all the time where defense attorneys either turn down cases or refuse to make a certain argument that the client wants because it's just wrong.
Republicans in congress are his personal lawyers? Sure, his actual lawyer can make that case during the impeachment hearings, but MAGA congressmen were making the case right along with them.....it was all total BS.
I'm old enough to remember Republicans arguing that they shouldn't impeach Trump because it's a legal issue and we should all let the courts decide this after he leaves office.
NOW....they argue that he can't be held accountable in court unless he was impeached.
Amazing how this works.
And, that ex President has a hand picked court to hear the argument.
I'm holding out some hope that these arguments are so absurdly ridiculous that even the right wing court realizes it and rules against it.
But, I question my sanity for holding out that hope.
