    Ever seen that scene from Liar, Liar where Jim Carey objects, and says “Because it’s devastating to my case!”?

    This is that scene, but actually being attempted in a real courtroom. This has got to be the most desperate thing I have ever seen.

    Arguing for rights of an individual running for president (as it is not defined at all to my knowledge) is an interesting strategy and does seem like something worth defining. By that I mean for it to be defined that if you’re running for president, you have no additional rights. Get out of here. You’re just another citizen. Quit making the “i’m special” legal challenge. Get bent.

      If he’s successful here, I’m declaring my candidacy for President as a Republican. Since Republican candidates for President apparently can’t be prosecuted, I figure I’ve got an 18 month crime spree ahead of me…

      Be back soon…

    I think I’ll use this thread to announce my candidacy for the presidency of the United States. I hereby declare that I am now immune to all prosecution until after the election. Donations will be accepted in cash or gold bullion.
