So it seems Biden could declare Trump a terrorist and send Seal Team 6 to take care of him, with complete immunity. Make it so. (And before anyone gets all high and mighty about what is implied here, ask yourself if you think Trump will hesitated to have political rivals or protestors assassinated, knowing he cannot be held accountable. That would be a dream come true for him.) That might not be considered an official act though... |

Once again the conservatives of the court screwed the American People and country.
EJ Dionne…
”Justice Sotomayor’s dissent says it all: “Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal
prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law….With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

I have the bride to Good Luck, Babe running in my head.
Folks, if Trump gets elected, things are going to get very, very, very bad.

Give the president more and more power to screw the American people while finishing the job by cutting protections for the American people re: CDC, FDA, EPA....
They win, we're dead.
But guess what? They won't have clean air, water, medical immunities and will die off too as they watch their children shrivel up and face the pain and suffering the result of their fathers' decisions..

The SIX don't care... They have protected their lifetime positions until the GOP decides they must go with the rest of us with intelligence.

Just remember TFG claims taking the boxes was official. He claims everything was official.
We, the country, are screwed!!
No president has ever needed immunity... But I sure hope Biden now uses it,!!

Lest anyone think I’m being hyperbolic about the danger this decision poses, Justice Sotomayor states the exact same concern in her dissent.  |

Ron Filipkowski
“Of course, the other byproduct of the Court’s decision today is that Trump’s henchmen and co-conspirators can be freely prosecuted while he receives sweeping immunity for most of his actions. Once again, others will be going to prison for Trump, unless he is able to pardon them.”

So now that they have immunity, what should King Biden's first official act be?
What's good for the goose...

Otherwise, I fear this is the death knell of the great experiment. Even if Biden wins, I believe that TFG will again try to take over by force. |

He learned what didn’t work last time so will change things up. Remember that all the surveillance tapes were released so they know where the cameras are and what the routes are that they used last time. Of course I fear he will actually win so it wouldn’t matter. But if not and he succeeds he will be immune for all his wrong doings. |

My sister and I were talking about this over the weekend and wondered why the Supreme Court is no longer non-partisan...I mean it is clearly party driven since the vote is now always 6-3 on all issues. I mean aren't supreme court justices supposed to interpret the law, and not let their political views influence them? It has been party driven for a long time now.

From another board:
Under this opinion, Biden should order Garland to immediately charge Trump under 18 USC section 2383 for "Rebellion or Insurrection".

Honestly, it's always been partisan and party driven, and sometimes worse. We just weren't around for the previous bad times, and our high school history classes either didn't get into it, in favor of other aspects of history, or most people weren't paying sufficient enough attention because "high school" and "history class." |

More from other source:
What’s ironic is that the 6 MAGA SCOTUS justices, MAGA federal judges, MAGA Congress people, MAGA voters, Evangelicals, all the other sycophants and wannabe zillionaires haven’t bothered to reflect on what a King/Dictator actually means. They are ALL subject to the King’s whims. They are ALL going to be discarded when their usefulness is over (ie when the monarchy takes over). Only the uber wealthy, the top 1% will have any margin of security, and that is not assured. Ask any exiled Russian oligarch.
And what all those people, including the wannabe King don’t realize, is that a monarchy, enormous wealth gap, and suppression of ‘the People’ in general leads to revolution. And that the left and the right will most likely join forces to overthrow the monarchy that the right has created. And, thanks to the right’s protection of the 2nd, there’s a whole lotta guns circulating out there. “A well armed militia” may be their own downfall.

and:
This is a raised middle finger to the rule of law and the rights of the people. Theirs is a worldview that is supremely arrogant and vainglorious. The right move is to defy this ruling, deny all appeals and objections by Trump's defense, and run his fat orange ass into prison for keeps. There's his immunity.

Response to editorial in WAPO:
One side is going to win, and it's not Alito's. The MAGAts are not the majority. Their leaders have cheated to get us to where we are now. If they want a fight, a real one, they can have one. They'll be surprised at how it ends.

Cue every "I didn't think the Leopard Eating Faces party would eat *my* face" meme that has ever been made. One of my favorites from today bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3kw6ol5jkto2c"Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do the people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?" The common replies are "Cake" and "Guillotine" so there are some people who understand. But people are still too comfortable read: most people have eaten at least once today, and have a safe, dry place to sleep", and the unknown is how long and how far will things fall before any counter-movement is established. Americans love to talk about their patriotic pride, but I am worried that this generation... as long as they have things to consume... will stay on their couch, and try to ostrich or turtle to avoid experiencing the wrath of the King's supporters. |
