  • Well, you wouldn’t want just anyone with a law background to chime in. You’d want someone with specific knowledge of constitutional law. I’m not a lawyer at all, so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt. My understanding of the argument is this:

    There is a process for convicting a president of the USA. That process was followed, and this president was not found guilty (he was impeached, but the senate ultimately prevented him from going to trial). Since the alleged crime happened during his presidency, and he wasn’t tried, this DC Circuit court simply does not have the authority to send him to trial.

    I have no idea where the judges are gonna land on this one, but it seems like whatever the decision is, it will have an impact on future presidents.
