The Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump is partly immune from prosecution on charges that he used his office to try to subvert the 2020 election, returning the case to the lower courts for additional analysis. See how they ruled on other recent cases: nyti.ms/4br8FmM
Guess it’s a good time to torpedo the chances of the one last opportunity to deal with these assholes, huh?
You’re all going to be part responsible for how bad this will get. Not that any of you seem to care.
Just a friendly reminder that the two most obviously corrupt and politically motivated justices also happen to be the oldest (75, 74). It matters which party has the White House and the Senate for the next four years. No matter what else is happening remember we all need to vote!
America is lost. Lawmakers are too stupid to see they're helping a fascist into power. The blindness and complete powerlessness of American institute is unprecedented. Your country is truly lost if criminal politicians are declared above the law. End of America and the steady rise of dictatorship.
It's intentional. Mark my words. Look at Europe rn... The world economy is about to collapse bc of climate change (related to farming) and the powers that be are getting their guns ready for when money is meaningless.
So the SCOTUS decision today sends the case back to the Federal Court (J. Chutkan) to decide which acts are official and which private. She can then rule that Trump meddling at DOJ, telling Pence to toss him the election, asking states to dummy the elector slates and so forth are all private?
And SCOTUS can overturn those decisions.
See, how it works is, they get to decide what's immune and what isn't on a POTUS by POTUS basis. Even if two POTUS were to do the same thing under the same circumstances, SCOTUS can decide which has immunity.
Versatile, huh?
True, but even THEY must have some revulsion at losing every shred of dignity in their filthy role as protector of a mob boss. At some point, won't they balk? Have they no shame? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I am firmly convinced that Thomas and Alito have absolutely no shame are are most likely completely financially compromised
Granted, that's only two of them. But it's a solid two.
The outdated and racist electoral system needs to go. The majority of Americans are left of Biden. We are all infighting while the greedy suck up all of the resources. The right (world wide) are dumb enough to blame poor over rich for their woes - bc it fits their racist outlook.
Reform? How about ARREST the right wing majority: corrupt, lawless, unqualified & unaccountable, they are a clear and present danger to the safety integrity of this nation. This official act would be covered by POTUS immunity.
Hoist these villains by their own petard.
What a ridiculous, depressing, frightening ruling. It's not hyperbole. Our government is being taken over, under the cover & pretense of laws by a conservative Christian nationalist cabal.
As if we didn’t all already know, the stolen and corrupt SCOTUS kneels to the cult. Nobody is coming to help. What are we going to do about it is the question. And don’t you fucking dare say “vote”
The news cycle of the Supreme court declaring all federal regulation of private companies and civil trial cases unconstitutional is going to end in someone getting injured. I’m surprised at how far liberals can go in this political climate without committing an act of terrorism
No wonder Trump was in such a rush to fill the SCOTUS seat of Ruth Bader Ginsberg before her cold, dead body was in the ground. He needed to round out his body-guards-in-robes, and f*cking Mitch McConnell was all in with it.
We're missing a silver lining here.
MAGA has to will shut up about Biden supposedly trying to assassinate Trump at Mar-a-Bedbug now because it was an official act.
Since we're not bothering with sanity or reality anymore.
