Presidential Immunity

The Court is Corrupt. Say It With Me.

The court is corrupt. The recent discussions regarding presidential immunity have shed light on the concerning state of affairs within the Supreme Court. The idea that Presidents could essentially have unlimited immunity, except for impeachment while in office, is a dangerous precedent that should not be tolerated. The Supreme Court Justices entertaining such notions are treading on thin ice.

The Supreme Court’s role is to interpret current laws and ensure they align with the Constitution. There are no laws explicitly granting immunity to the President, and this power is not mentioned in the Constitution. To suggest otherwise would be a clear case of judicial overreach – the court legislating from the bench and assuming powers they do not rightfully possess.… Continue reading

Trump Wants to Prosecute Biden. He Also Thinks Presidents Deserve Immunity.

Trump’s desire for absolute immunity and to prosecute Biden paints a picture of a man obsessed with power and control. It’s clear that he views himself as above the law, believing that all his actions are justified and legal. This self-serving mentality is not only dangerous but goes against the principles of democracy and accountability that our country was built on.

The idea that presidents deserve immunity from prosecution is a slippery slope that can lead to autocratic rule and rampant abuse of power. No one, not even the highest office in the land, should be above the law. The notion that Trump is fighting tooth and nail for immunity, not for the institution of the presidency but for himself alone, speaks volumes about his character and motivations.… Continue reading

The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

The recent decisions coming out of the Supreme Court have left me in a state of shock and dismay. The idea that the highest court in the land is entertaining arguments that a sitting president could order the assassination of political rivals as an “official act” is beyond comprehension. The very foundation of our democracy is at stake here, and the Court’s willingness to entertain such dangerous notions is deeply troubling.

The notion of absolute presidential immunity is a slippery slope that we cannot afford to go down. Allowing a president to be above the law, to act with impunity and without accountability, is a direct violation of the principles on which this country was founded.… Continue reading

Remember, SCOTUS—Presidential Immunity Would Apply to Joe Biden, Too

It’s crucial to remember that the concept of Presidential immunity would not only apply to Donald Trump but also to Joe Biden if he were to hold the office. The Supreme Court’s stance on this issue has significant implications for the future of our democracy. The delay tactics employed by SCOTUS to avoid making a definitive ruling on this matter until after the election speaks volumes about their intentions.

There is a clear pattern of favoritism towards Trump, with the justices likely to grant him immunity if he were re-elected. On the other hand, if Biden were to win, SCOTUS might conveniently decide that the President is not entitled to such immunity.… Continue reading

McConnell says presidents should not be immune from criminal prosecution for things done in office

McConnell says presidents should not be immune from criminal prosecution for things done in office. This statement coming from the same man who stacked the court with justices that now have the power to decide on such matters is quite a paradox. It seems that McConnell’s words are disconnected from his actions, as he supported Trump through two impeachments, allowing him to remain unaccountable for any criminal acts. The irony is palpable, as he now hints at the importance of holding presidents liable for their actions while he himself enabled such behavior to go unchecked.

The idea that presidents should not be immune from criminal prosecution is not revolutionary by any means.… Continue reading

Supreme Court appears likely to side with Trump on some presidential immunity

The Supreme Court appears likely to side with Trump on some presidential immunity, sparking outrage and concern among the American people. Many individuals are bewildered by the idea of presidents being granted immunity akin to that of kings, which goes against the principles of democracy and the rule of law. This potential ruling raises significant questions about the foundations of our government and the balance of power between the executive branch and the legal system.

There is a valid argument that all elected officials, including the president, should be held accountable for their actions under the law, just like any other citizen.… Continue reading

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Argues Presidents Must Be Allowed to Commit Federal Crimes or Democracy as We Know It Will Be Over

I am absolutely appalled by the recent statements made by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, suggesting that Presidents should be allowed to commit federal crimes without facing any consequences. This dangerous and reckless assertion goes against the very principles of democracy and the rule of law that our country is built upon. As citizens, we must be deeply concerned about the implications of such a stance on the future of our nation.

The idea that a sitting President should have immunity to commit crimes is not only absurd but also fundamentally undemocratic. It undermines the very foundation of our government and opens the door to authoritarianism.… Continue reading

Justice Kagan asks if a president would be immune after ordering coup

As I sit back and ponder the implications of the recent oral arguments before the Supreme Court, where the question of presidential immunity after ordering a coup was raised, I am left with a sense of disbelief and concern. The very notion that a sitting or former president could be immune to criminal prosecution unless impeached and convicted by Congress is not only absurd but also profoundly troubling. The arguments put forth by the petitioner’s lawyer, suggesting that a president can only be charged with a crime if specifically mentioned in a law or that the president can be immune from prosecution for all official acts, seem more like a page out of a dystopian novel rather than a credible legal defense.… Continue reading

Shocker From Top Conservative Judge: Trump Likely To Skate Completely – J. Michael Luttig sees two potential outcomes from Thursday’s Supreme Court arguments. Both are grim for our democracy.

It’s truly mind-boggling to see the level of corruption and manipulation that is at play in our current political climate.

This goes beyond just politics; it threatens the very core of our democracy.

J. Michael Luttig’s analysis of the potential outcomes from the Supreme Court arguments paints a grim picture for the future of our country. The idea that a president could have total immunity, even for acts as heinous as attempting to subvert the electoral process, sets a dangerous precedent.… Continue reading
