Should a sitting president be shielded from prosecution? If so, does that create a precedent for unchecked authority? Let me know what you think.

No. The United States does not have a king, emperor, or any other kind of monarch. As the Republicans are fond of saying: We are a republic. As a republic–specifically a democratic republic–no one person is above the law. No one in this country is so mighty, so powerful that he can usurp the rights of another or perform actions that would land another in prison.
We have not lived up to the promise of our republic. Those who seek to benefit from that flaw and those who look to exacerbate that flaw are enemies of liberty and should be treated as such.
You guys say that but you have parties celebrating your presidents being elected, they are like corinations and you have it every 4 years instead of once a lifetime.
