Trump's personal attorney William Consovoy argued in court yesterday that a president could, indeed, shoot someone on the street and walk away scott-free - but only while s/he's president.

Here's one way to test the validity of that premise: Let's go back to when Obama was president and Moscow Mitch refused to bring the Garland nomination to the senate to advise and consent... Obama could have simply shot the corrupt old bastard and said, "Who else wants some a that kinda action?" We would now have Garland on the bench and the beer-drinkin' frat boy still raping passed out girls on Friday nights.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
