Topics
Andrew Weissmann和Mary McCord分析了华盛顿特区巡回法院关于特朗普豁免权的裁决，认为该裁决对特朗普不利，并讨论了后续步骤。他们认为，法院的裁决是明确的，特朗普将无法获得豁免权。他们还预览了最高法院即将就特朗普是否符合参选资格进行的听证会，并讨论了该案件中涉及的法律和事实问题。他们认为，无论最高法院如何裁决，该案件都具有重大意义，因为它将决定选民是否能够决定一个煽动叛乱者是否应该担任总统。 Mary McCord详细解释了法院裁决的四个主要方面：法院是否有权现在受理此案；特朗普的豁免权论点是否站得住脚；是否存在需要考虑的政策因素；以及弹劾条款是否适用。她指出，法院驳回了特朗普关于行政豁免权和基于职能的政策考虑的论点，并认为特朗普关于弹劾判决条款的论点不合理。她还强调了法院裁决中的一些关键引语，这些引语强调了没有人凌驾于法律之上，以及特朗普的行为是对政府结构的史无前例的攻击。她还讨论了法院关于暂缓执行令的决定，以及这如何影响案件的后续进展。她还讨论了最高法院即将就特朗普是否符合参选资格进行的听证会，并讨论了该案件中涉及的法律和事实问题，包括"叛乱"的定义以及国会是否需要制定具体程序来执行宪法第十四修正案第三款。
