The recent discussions surrounding presidential immunity have left me utterly stunned and appalled. The idea that staging a coup or assassinating political opponents could be considered official presidential acts is not only mind-boggling but also extremely concerning. The fact that Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, is making these arguments with a straight face is simply unbelievable. It’s almost as if they are trying to dismantle the very foundation of democracy and accountability.
What strikes me the most is the lengths to which some individuals are willing to go to justify Trump’s behavior. The sheer audacity of claiming that a president should be immune from prosecution for any illegal actions they take while in office is beyond comprehension.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court’s handling of the Trump immunity case has been a complete disaster from the start. It’s incredibly frustrating to witness the highest legal body in the land tip-toeing around such a clear threat to our democracy. The mere fact that they decided to take up this case shows just how unstable our current system is. The delay tactics employed by the Court only serve to further erode the faith that Americans have in our institutions.
The arrogance displayed by the Supreme Court in pretending that this is a difficult decision is infuriating. It’s clear that the only reason they haven’t outright shut down Trump’s immunity claims is to give him the time he needs to avoid possible legal repercussions.… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the recent news that the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money trial has barred him from attending Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The fact that Trump won’t be able to play hooky from his trial to attend these arguments speaks volumes about the importance of accountability, even for someone who held the highest office in the land.
It’s clear that the judge’s decision to not allow Trump to be present at the Supreme Court arguments is a significant one. Despite Trump’s attempts to take time off from his trial, the judge has made it clear that the trial in New York is a big deal, and Trump is required to attend unless granted special permission.… Continue reading
It is mind-boggling to witness the ongoing debate about presidential immunity in the United States. The fact that the Supreme Court is even considering the notion of one man being above the law is not just alarming but fundamentally goes against the very principles on which this nation was founded. The recent brief filed by a group of four-star generals, warning the Supreme Court about the dangers of upholding Trump’s immunity claims, speaks volumes about the state of our democracy.
As a citizen, it is both disheartening and enraging to see the highest court in the land engaging in what seems like a deliberate delay tactic rather than upholding the rule of law.… Continue reading
When it comes to the concept of presidential immunity, Senator Rubio’s recent comments defending Trump’s claim raise some legitimate concerns that need to be addressed. The idea that the sitting President should have the power to do whatever they please without consequences is not only dangerous but goes against the very principles of checks and balances that our democracy is built upon.
The notion that Trump, or any President for that matter, should be above the law is a slippery slope that we cannot afford to slide down. If we establish this precedent, what’s to stop future Presidents from abusing their power and acting with complete impunity?… Continue reading
The Supreme Court will hear the Trump presidential immunity argument on April 25th, and the implications of this decision are significant. The debate around whether a president should have absolute immunity has been ongoing, but it is essential to consider the precedent set by US v Nixon, where it was unanimously decided that the President does not have absolute immunity.
The delay in the Supreme Court’s decision is frustrating, especially when there are pending elections that could be impacted by the outcome. It is crucial to recognize that no one, not even the President, should be above the law. Granting immunity to a former President could set a dangerous precedent and undermine the principles of democracy and justice.… Continue reading
is a way for them to consolidate power and push their agenda, they will take it. The fact that the Supreme Court is even considering the idea that a president could have absolute immunity is not only shocking but deeply concerning. This case, stemming from the events of January 6th, could set a dangerous precedent that could lead America down the dark road to dictatorship.
The idea that a sitting president could be immune from criminal activity while in office is absurd. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this notion, it opens up a Pandora’s box of possibilities. As pointed out, if a president truly had absolute immunity, what would stop them from ordering the assassination of political opponents or even canceling elections to stay in power?… Continue reading
Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity, US court rules. This ruling comes as no surprise to me. As an American citizen, it is deeply unsettling to see extremists on the right pushing to treat Trump and his family like royalty. This goes against the very foundation of our country and its laws. The founding fathers explicitly designed our government to prevent the rise of a king or queen, which is why presidential immunity should never be a thing.
Some argue that granting immunity to a president is necessary for their proper functioning. But let’s dissect this argument for a moment.… Continue reading
Megathread: Federal Appeals Court Rules That Trump Lacks Broad Immunity From Prosecution
The recent ruling by the Federal Appeals Court that former President Donald Trump lacks broad immunity from prosecution has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. It’s a decision that many of us have been waiting for, and one that brings us hope for accountability and justice. Finally, the courts are recognizing that no one, not even a former president, should be above the law.
One of the key points highlighted in the ruling is Trump’s constant demand for judges and prosecutors to recuse themselves from his cases, simply because they may not align with his personal agenda.… Continue reading
Busted: Trump repeatedly called for jailing presidents before saying he had immunity
It’s no surprise that Trump is once again caught in the act of hypocrisy. Throughout his presidency, he tirelessly advocated for the imprisonment of other presidents, conveniently disregarding the principles of fairness and justice. It’s the classic case of “rules for thee, not for me.” But what is truly concerning is the underlying authoritarian impulse that these actions reveal.
Trump’s blatant disregard for the law and his insidious desire to have laws that punish others while ensuring his own freedom reflect a dangerous ambition for unchecked power. His legal argument that President Biden could have him, his family, the Supreme Court, and the Senate executed by the military without any intervention from the court unless Congress impeaches him is deeply disturbing.… Continue reading
