“This saves Biden’s ass for any lawsuits resulting from American’s deaths caused by illegal aliens.”
The SCOTUS ruled many years ago that the POTUS has absolute immunity for civil liability arising out of official acts. Today’s opinion concerns criminal liability for criminal acts.
“This saves Biden’s ass for any lawsuits resulting from American’s deaths caused by illegal aliens.”
Motivation should matter.
The immunity should only apply if the official acts are done in good faith. Biden swore to faithfully execute federal law. Judges only hold office under the Constitution while on good behavior.
If Officer White smacks misbehaving Black Burgler too hard for a racist motive, Officer White should not have immunity for excessive force.
