  • The Supreme Court’s decision on Donald Trump’s claim to be immune from prosecution may go down as one of the most brazenly political decisions in the history of the Supreme Court.
    The opinion will have far-reaching consequences for the presidency, but the immediate effect will be to exponentially shrink the odds of a trial before November on Trump’s effort to remain in power after he lost the 2020 election. Indeed, the opinion might come to be known as Bush v. Gore 2.0 - a stunning intervention that could plausibly swing the presidential election to Trump.

    If it is the law that a president is immune from prosecustion for official acts, why would a president be granted immunity in the first place and why has is this idea news to judges, lawyers, including Trump and his lawyers who stated it should be true, rather than saying it is already true?
    The idea that a president is immune from the law implies the law did in fact apply to the president but not anymore.
    That the president is not above the law simply because you are saying the law doesn't apply to him is a contradiction.

    Good evidence that show the justices acted in contrary to their promises to uphold Disappointed in the justices that made this ruling.

    They should reverse their decision because those judges they confirmed lied to get on the Supreme Court illegally so therefore their decision is void.

    What Robespierre said after approving the guillotine and death penalty after once being against it:. "Times have changed".

      What does Robespierre have to do with Trump? In Robespierre's time there was a monarchy which he (along with cronies) overthrew. Here, we are in the time of democracy, with it's rules. Having a coup d'ètat because you lose the elections is not comparable. Biden is not an absolutistic monarch, he was elected as Trump was elected before.

    Can we call this perjury ?

    • @Milesco
      @Milesco Před 25 dny

      Not really, because they chose their words very carefully. Perjury is a false statement of fact, and the SCOTUS nominees' pronouncements were pretty much statements of opinion. And to the extent that they were statements of fact (e.g., "Roe v. Wade is the law of the land"), they were true statements. The implication was that they would respect precedent and not overturn Roe v. Wade, but it was just an implication, not a promise. Very slimy and disingenuous, but it is what it is.

    He gets immunity for official acts, and no immunity for unofficial acts

  • @johnfisher6805
    @johnfisher6805 Před 11 dny

    Nope they read their briefs and came to a reasoned conclusion. The President is under the constitution which is the highest law. Under the constitution he has immunity. There is no contradiction.
