Salmon Chase was one of the founders of the Republican Party

I'll just assume you're saying he was a "winner Republican", not a loser

I can be comfortable with this concept if it refers to people in the distant past

Yeah if only Windows came with hivemind features, like being able to fly a jumbo jet, or do anything at all, as long as one member of the collective has the knowledge

I liked it best when they did it backwards

In my country, the United States, back in the 20th century, my Civics teachers had to explain why Plessy v. Ferguson was not binding precedent and separate "Colored" facilities violated the Equal Protection Clause

Perhaps your country didn't have a "Living Constitution" like the US has always had

Lazy?

What if $143.95 was the perfect scam amount, arrived at after 1000s of hours of painstaking research?

14th amend. birthright citizenship isn't comparable to "official acts" immunity

Judges and prosecutors have official acts immunity. The Speech and Debate clause likewise protects Congress members. Against that background, extending immunity to the President was not a stretch
