 SAN DIEGO VOICE AND VIEWPOINT — Among their Jewish and Palestinian students, many campuses have been grappling with the intersection of free speech, censorship, and academic freedom in a way that does not marginalize any belief. Students in support of Palestine have made their reasoning to demonstrate clear: to call upon their institution to cut financial ties with funding sources supporting Israel. Meanwhile, in the wake of this heightened intensity, many Jewish students feel as if their safety is threatened and the demonstrations display antisemitic undertones.

     Trump as America’s 45th president won this election despite having revealed compromised integrity, immorality, and explicit racism. Regardless of his character flaws, Trump realized that just as in business there are millions of voters available for exploitation and gullible enough to fulfill his selfish ambitions. Thus, began Trump’s consummate role as America’s presidential political pimp.

     But how does one understand the oral arguments concerning Trump’s claim of total immunity from prosecution? At its core, this case is about a president being above the law and having the absolute immunity of a king. The justices are fellow Americans who, we would hope, value our basic principles, in particular that here the law is king and not the other way around.
