Trump's lawyers tell NY that he can't be sued because he's President. NY judge points and laughs.

Well, not literally, but shot Trump down.

NY judge says "eff off" in more polite terms.



"Scarpulla noted that the defendants "have failed to cite a single case in which any court has dismissed a civil action against a sitting president on Supremacy Clause grounds, where, as here, the action is based on the president's unofficial acts."

Didn't save Bill, won't save Trump.

Looks like Trump and his supporters are finding out the hard way that no one is above the law. I wonder if Trump will end up being the first President sent to prison?

That would be awesome and truly well deserved, but I wouldn't bet one red cent on it actually happening, no matter how much he deserves it.

Due to the crap he has said, I'll settle for him being sent to a psyche ward...

Mind you, for Trump there could be a fate worse than prison: losing money from lawsuits. It'd be a fitting end if he spent his last years struggling with financial solvency after everyone and their mother sues him over fraud, corruption and other crimes.

I agree, but if there's one state that will do it, it's NY. If there's a crime Trump will go to jail if warranted unless Cuomo wishes to trade on the situation for more political gain.
