Donald is about to go through some things...

Trump not immune from prosecution outside of Presidential duties. So the documents trial should go forward, but can he stop it if he's elected? What about Jan. 6 since they'll argue it was Presidential duties of course, does that question return to the Supreme Court?

Sending fake electors isn't a presidential duty imo. Trying to get the VP to not certify the votes isn't a presidential duty imo. Telling state reps to find votes that don't exist isn't a presidential duty imo. Sitting around and watching the capitol and Congress be attacked and doing nothing about it isn't a presidents duty imo.

But ya, if he gets elected then all that goes away.

Also: Bannon is also facing criminal charges in New York state court alleging he duped donors who gave money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The build the wall fund and stop the steal fund were both just ways for Trump to steal from his flock. Just like trump university and the trump foundation (his charity he stole from)

This is who trump is. It's shocking that people don't realize what a scam artist crook he is after all these years

Well, no surprises from the most corrupt supreme Court we've ever had. Sad day. They got us one step closer to the dictatorship that was promised. Picking the Constitution apart, bit by bit

Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have broad immunity, dimming chance of a pre-election Trump trial

The justices rejected Trump's immunity claims in a ruling that left for another day the issue of whether former presidents can ever insulate themselves from criminal charges for officials acts they took while in office.

Ya there is no real definition of "official act"
In the article it talks about the president taking bribes in order to appoint someone to a government position. It's pretty murky on whether there would be a way to punish a president for that act since appointing people to positions is definitely an official act. We know trump is a grifter and is in love with money. I could totally see him offering government positions (secretary of state and the like) to the highest bidder and simply making bank during his presidency knowing that he won't get in any trouble for it.

And then there is this: “Almost anything that a president does with the executive branch is characterized as an official act,” he said on a call with reporters following the ruling. He said that “for any unscrupulous individual holding the seat of the Oval Office who might lose an election, the way I read this opinion is it could be a roadmap for them seeking to stay in power.”. You know, like trump just did in 2020. That type of **** could become the norm.

And the Trump lighter he's hawking. The commercial shows it setting a Biden campaign poster aflame, so it's the best lighter ever.

Lol the hate speech Christian hate cult mad that people cant arrest sitting presidents. All while childishly and cult likely calling others threats even though they don't even know what threats they mean. Not even smart enough to use words and explain themselves. These types of scary *** people are the threats. Like massive threats... I mean they are angry that they can't do what Hitler, Mao, Stalin did. They are pissed. The threats are extremely pissed.

'YO U CeWllitst Are A ThRET!!!"

Nah, I don't want to be able to arrest a president like you did for political purposes no matter the party. Be pissed you hypocritical threats.

 

[fishonjazz]

I have still never seen a president get arrested in my lifetime.

Weird that some people think they have.

I did see a US president try to extort/blackmail another president into investigating the US presidents political opponent though.

Dissenting opinions.

“The president is now a king”: The most blistering lines from dissents in the Trump immunity case

"Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune."

www.motherjones.com

This is how Sotomayor put it:

The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military dissenting coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today.

Jackson made a similar and distressing point:

Thus, even a hypothetical President who admits to having ordered the assassinations of his political rivals or critics, or one who indisputably instigates an unsuccessful coup has a fair shot at getting immunity under the majority’s new Presidential accountability model

I hope I live long enough to see this decision overturned.

Also, I hope the U.S. is around long enough to overturn it.

The one thing we can hold onto is thinking about how this will all flip when it is a democratic president doing it. They do realize they just set the blueprint for Biden to hold onto power too, right? I would almost want to see that. Let the conservative majority SC members pat themselves on the back, then have Biden hold onto his office through a coup they made legal. Oh the hoops they would try to jump through then to reverse it. See this is something very interesting on our country. The SC feels comfortable doing this because they believe their ideologically supported leadership might need to engage in this kind of activity to maintain power AND they trust the other side to actually respect the rule of law, and the spirit in which the law was intended, and so to NOT engage in this kind of behavior. Somewhat telling about our political divide. Republicans are expected to break the law, democrats are expected to uphold it.
