7. Having read the transcript, they are making it very hard

https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2023/23-939_f2qg.pdf is the link to the transcript, in case anyone enjoys inflicting punishment upon themselves. It's hard to read, and Trump's lawyer's arguments are completely absurd. How he doesn't get thrown out is beyond me, but I guess he is required to make some kind of case, pathetic as it might be. Benjamin Franklin wrote a sentence once, which he is taking as a primary justification for the Founding Father's having intended presidential immunity, for instance. In spite of virtually every other indication to the contrary, in the constitution and Madison's notes on the constitutional convention. It honestly makes me question the intelligence of the justices themselves.
