HUGE dittos!!!... oh and GOOD MORNING Jane!!
murder is a state crime the president doesn’t have the power to pardon.
Now we need to undo Wicker.
A little bit of a surprise: Justice Kagan has the NetChoice opinions.

There are no dissenting opinions, although some concurring in parts and concurring in the judgment.
“If he loses, he’s doomed.”
If he loses WE’re doomed
Yes your Honor... That is exactly the point of a Constitutionally LIMITED Federal Republic...
All of the stuff the DC power-hungry demons have been enacting beyond the scope of their enumerated responsibilities can now be redressed more easily and hopefully without bloodshed.
You know... the way it is supposed to be.
I’d rather they fix Kelo.
There are no dissenting opinions, although some concurring in parts and concurring in the judgment.
The court vacates both decisions, explaining that neither of the lower courts properly considered the nature of the challenges. “The courts mainly addressed what the parties had focused on,” even though the challenges argued that the laws were unconstitutional in all their applications. “And the parties mainly argued these cases as if the laws applied only to the curated feeds offered by the largest and most paradigmatic social-media platforms—as if, say each case presented an as-applied challenge brought by Facebook protesting its loss of control over the content of its News Feed.”
But the court lays out some principles for the lower courts to follow. It indicates, for example, that “the current record indicates that the Texas law does regulate speech when applied in the way the parties focused on below—when applied, that is, to prevent Facebook (or YouTube) from using its content-moderation standards to remove, alter, organize, prioritize, or disclaim posts in its News Feed.”
Murder on Federal Property is a Federal Crime, not a State crime.
Sure, the VP could be impeached and they would remove them from office, but if the crime had been pardoned…would they walk free?
I know the whole thing is “out there” but its an “excercise”.
Good morning, Polly! 💞
ok, then if the president murdered his wife (not on federal property) that would be a state crime if you want to be particular about it.
We have the immunity decision. It is by Roberts.
The vote is 6-3.
Boom?
Need someone to decipher this.
Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.
Hell yeah!
Exactly as we would have expected/hoped.
