I would really prefer if they just used his frequent and flagrant violation of the law, and those of the institutions he has infiltrated with corrupt lackeys, to arrest and try him as an American citizen, even if such an act would break precedent and convention. I see no such regard for legal or cultural tradition from the administration, and am tired of hearing people say “oh but we can’t change anything to defend ourselves no matter how much they change to attack us…”.
Until Trump v. United States is overturned, the President is a special boi and can largely be above the law for anything construed as "official act"s, so courts will be of little help in the way you wish.
I reject the appeal to apathy, it’s what enables the opposition to just do nothing and act like they don’t need to even try and get creative. If Republican judges and politicians can just do whatever and there’s no consequences, I want to see more Democrat politicians do the same. Mind you this is what the donors paid (both sides) for.
I don’t want to appeal to apathy either. If you read another comment I made in the same thread, I want city and state attorney generals and courts to stop the administration’s recklessness, more proactively.
But to try Trump as a normal citizen within the bounds of the court system - as much I would like that to happen myself - that specific avenue you mention is tougher than others for the reason I outlined.
