President Trump has been dealt his fourth legal loss in less than 24 hours, as the federal judiciary rebukes his various abuses of presidential powers.
On Tuesday evening, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta rejected Trump's claim of presidential immunity regarding his actions on January 6, ruling that he can be held liable for the violence that day. Mehta decided that Trump's speech to his supporters at the Ellipse and his communications with other officials can all be considered campaign activity. The ruling allows a lawsuit from police officers and Democratic politicians to continue—and opens the door to other similar lawsuits.
It's a good thing that he showed up in court for the birthright citizenship arguments. It helps ensure that he'll own this morally repugnant effort to gut the constitutional promise of equality.
