Unxxxking believable! A McConnell corrupted Supreme Court is destroying America and protecting criminals. Goodbye Democracy. We must vote totally Blue, up and down the ticket. They won’t get the message any other way. Even with that, it will take years to undo the damage…
And in the impossible event of a just president taking office, that president could have the justices who voted for this ruling seized and shipped off to Guantanamo as terrorists, where they’d be waterboarded every day for the rest of their lives. And that president would be immune from prosecution.
Biden now can officially declare CF Fraudfather as a terrorist threat to democracy and deal with him, then dissolve the RWSC, install a real Supreme Court, pardon himself for anything anyone might think is wrong, then step down. Nobody could touch him, since the RWSC says that’s all legal now and he is immune.
SCROTUS did what they did because they know that, no matter what he says, Biden is on the side of having a president who cannot be touched for his crimes
Joe Biden should have the 6 traitorous justices removed from SCOTUS and have their lips permanently attached to Trump’s fat, orange a$$. Why not? SCOTUS just gave him the power to do so!
I really wonder if there is ANYONE actually surprised by this. Did anybody seriously entertain the idea that the corrupt 6 WOULDN’T give trump total immunity and guarantee his new status as god-king?
While SCOTUS sets up POTUS as King, they are retaining the real power in that they determine what’s an official act by a POTUS. If R, Ok. If D, NOT! Reform SCOTUS!!!
shameful ruling. just utter collapse of democracy and elimination of accountability. the extreme right wing justices are partisan hacks. I can’t imagine they’d rule the same way for a democrat.
Joe said last night he would not take advantage of the SCOTUS ruling.. WRONG To save America Joe should immediately dissolve the Supreme Court as enemies of the people. Remove trump and his team of lawyers.. as enemies of the people. Ironically the Supreme Court just gave Biden the authority to do it.
I write separately to highlight another way in which this prosecution may violate our constitutional structure. In this case, the Attorney General purported to appoint a private citizen as Special Counsel to prosecute a former President on behalf of the United States. But, I am not sure that any office for the Special Counsel has been “established by Law,” as the Constitution requires. Art. II, §2, cl. 2. By requiring that Congress create federal offices “by Law,” the Constitution imposes an important check against the President—he cannot create offices at his pleasure. If there is no law establishing the office that the Special Counsel occupies, then he cannot proceed with this prosecution. A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President.
It’s a coup from the bench. President Biden should use his new immunity to take decisive action and have the corrupt justices arrested and walk back the decisions that are obviously against the Constitution and Bill of Rights! Do not leave this up to the voters. This coup has to be squashed NOW!
Love?? What love? He spews falsehood and mendacity with a side of double dealing fabrication and splits our country in two with his idiotic treachery and lies. No wisdom, no care, no compassion.
This has, once and for all, definitively, beyond question, put to rest the ridiculous claim by ⅔ of the Subprime Court that they’re “originalists”, never going beyond what the framers of the Constitution were thinking back in 1787.
I surprised that I haven’t seen a cartoon that highlights the shrinking difference between the Supreme Council of the Islamic State and the Supreme Court of the United States.
Latest desperate excuse from the White House was that Joe Biden had a cold that night. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah. “Chairman Brezhnev has a cold.” “Chairman Andropov has a cold.” Suuuurre they do!
The difficulty with democracy, is that it was designed expecting that the leaders would be basically of good character, and that there would be “good men” in the other branches to act as a check on anyone who was corrupt.
What to do when there is a whole group of corrupt individuals who have infiltrated the very fabric of our democracy?
First, there are two bills that are being presented, one in the U.S. House of Representatives and one in the U.S. Senate to implement ethics rules and enforcement for SCOTUS.
S.359 – Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2023
H.R.8098 – Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act of 2024
Secondly, an Inspector General can be appointed to oversee SCOTUS.
Thirdly, justices Alito, Thomas, and Roberts can be impeached.
Unfortunately, all of these actions depend on a BLUE wave in November 2024 – U.S. presidency, House, and Senate
The Clown Court has dissembled democracy with this judgment. This means any president, at any time, can do his will as he sees fit with no repercussions. They need to be impeached. Or shot as traitors.
