Delay till Trump is inaugurated, then rule a former president can be charged. That way all the previous ones can be arrested, but since Trump is the incumbent he can’t, at least for 4 years.
Abraham Lincoln committed a “fundamentally evil” act described by Sotomayor.
They should order ALL trials HALTED until after the election. there would be mass suicides on the left. And $DJT stock would explode, provoking yet more suicides.
I want to see some judges and DAs heads roll on the back
end of this political judicial schlock!
Wasn't Osama Bin Laden assassinated by a SEAL Team?
"Crafting a New Standard"
The leftists want the U.S. Supreme Court to establish a set of rules - a process - by which, the Department of Justice shall exercise Chief Executive administrative power OVER the President of the U.S.A.
“May delay trial until after the election”.
That is what has them so concerned. After the election there will be no need for a trial.
Here is a piece from Amy Howe at Scotusblog:
“Supreme Court appears likely to side with Trump on some presidential immunity”
Common law courts abhor decisions that are black and white. They decide cases on a case by case basis which keeps things ambiguous, and amplifies the power of the courts. The decision will declare that for some things Presidents have immunity, but not all, and the courts below will start again to decide the matter.
The power to challenge the "behavior" of the President belongs to Congress not the courts.
PDJT was acting both as President and candidate on 1/6. Under the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection provision and his oath of office wherein he swears to faithfully execute the laws of the United States as chief executive. Was he to ignore multiple reports around the country of fraudulent voting? What if he wasn’t standing for re-election but asked his second in command Vice President to ask disputed states to re-examine their results? Would that be illegal? Democrats are trying to convince everyone that the Federal Government has no say-so yet the Constitution merely gives the States responsibility for “administration” of elections. Election Security is under the responsibility of Homeland Security and the DOJ, both Executive Branch and Presidential responsibility.
I am surprised Trump’s lawyer did not argue that if the president does not enjoy immunity from prosecution by a DA for his official acts as president, then the proper way to bring such a case was impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial by the Senate. After all, in impeaching former President Trump who was by then a private citizen as the Democrats did, this set a precedent that the House and Senate sure thought this was where such a case could be brought.
Over and above that even, they should have argued that not only was the impeachment process set forth in the constitution THE proper way to bring any charges against a former president for his official acts as president, but such charges were already brought against President Trump for the Jan 6 BS and he was acquitted by the Senate. Therefore bringing a case yet again in district court violates the 5th amendment provision against double jeopardy even if the SCOTUS held that the law courts rather than the impeachment process was the place to try this.....and if they hold thusly, aren’t they saying the 2nd impeachment the Democrats did was pure and utter BS?
Did anyone have the courage to watch MSLSD last night? I cut the cord a year ago so I can’t. Watching them last night would have given us a good idea of how well...or badly...things went for DJT yesterday. If their heads were exploding you know that things went well for him.
This is off topic, but why is “legal expense” inaccurate? Lawyers distinguish between fees and expenses. “Expenses” include stamps, photocopies . . . why not nuisance settlements?
Total win for team Trump.
There was no way that they thought they would get "TOTAL" immunity, but immunity from official acts will get 100% immunity.
The fight will be the razor thin line between personal and official. When Trump wins the election, he will have jack smith dismissed from the doj {and while I don't believe he will}, I'd love to see him use the doj, irs and fbi to prosecute the demonRATS.
I have no doubt that Trump will win, again, but the vote counters still scare the hell out of me.
The SCOTUS ruling on Trump instantly effects Biden.
The Biden presidency is in instant peril from the ruling
I have a question. If hate speech is a crime, and a Supreme Court Justice writes an opinion a lot of leftists disagree with, can that Justice be prosecuted for hate speech?
If they issue their opinion here carelessly, they will be subject to prosecution, too.
