"No part of a President’s official responsibilities includes the incitement of imminent private violence," department lawyers said in an appeals court filing. "By definition, such conduct plainly falls outside the President’s constitutional and statutory duties."

A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will decide whether to allow the lawsuits to continue. The panel heard oral arguments about whether to dismiss the cases in December, but asked the Justice Department to weigh in.

  1. President Trump was horribly treated!He deserves well more than this country can give! Honor, respect, for loving us for loving this country! For putting up with the demoncrats bad attitudes and terrible ways!💔😞

  2. Just like the First Amendment offers no protection to those who incite panic in a crowded theater by yelling “fire,” it offers no protection to those who incite imminent, foreseeable private violence. The case should go forward. Imminent danger and its foreseeability are questions of fact.
