If the name of the case expressed the real opponents, it’d be Trump vs the Deep State That’s Trying to Destroy America.
Thanks! Probably lots of lawyers gonna make lots of money out of this.
From what I read of that article all prosecutions against the president except the New York hush money trial are pretty much dead in the water. The New York hush money conviction could be forced to be retried because they used privileged witnesses and communications during their trial and may be forced to declare a mistrial. If that happens I do not believe that the communist DP has the political capital to retry the case, especially if President Trump wins the election. I believe the Supreme Court ruling was an almost total victory for President Trump.
Trump took an oath to defend the Constitution. If Trump is guilty of anything, he’s guilty of not taking more aggressive action to defend the Constitution during the coup.
Roberts did us a solid with these words:
“acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility. This covers actions “so long as they are not manifestly or palpably beyond his authority.”
He could have left it more vague, but “outer perimeter” is an interesting description as it clearly means a prosecutor would need to meet a high standard of proof.
The Court had to balance the constitutional power given to the Executive against the potential for an out-of-control President. And now that this decision is on the books, future Presidents will know to safeguard themselves by making certain they act within “official boundaries”.
Would be nice if they recognized Citizen’s immunity from criminal prosecution for inalienable rights specifically protected from government intrusion by the Constitution.
But that would mean plain reading of said document.
Oh, to he so bold!
