Democrats Warn: Immunity Decision Will Let Presidents Go After Political Opponents
Breitbart ^ | 07/01/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Democrats implied Monday that former President Donald Trump could pursue his political opponents, legally, if he returns to the White House, following the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity in Trump v. U.S.

If Trump ever becomes president, immunity wouldn’t matter.

What does matter – American people should start to understand the authoritarian rule which this decision stems.

If a president has seal team 6 kill his political opponents & mark them as official acts .. it’s over!

Democratic Party activist and pundit Van Jones warned that the decision granted presidents a “license to thug”:

Van Jones: “I think politically it’s bad. It makes the Supreme Court look very partisan… They look like they’re wearing red jerseys or even MAGA hats… It’s almost like a license to thug.”https://t.co/h11A2q5noa

These idiots are wrong again. This is just more unintentional projection from someone not getting their way.

Irony is completely lost on these people

Indeed, but I am impressed at the nearly-complete level of projection. It's almost 100%.

You nasty vile people. Biden has *ALREADY* gone after his political opponents. His is the most Nazi like regime the United States has ever seen in its history.

At this point, I wouldn't care if you were right. After what your side has done to us, I welcome any excuse to go "after" you bastards!

You started this sh*t. If you would just heed what many black people say, (Don't start no sh*t, won't be no sh*t!) you wouldn't be having to worry about us coming after you.

Absent a special statute of limitations, the general federal statute for noncapital crimes is five years. So Joe was in the clear long ago on that particular Ukraine piece of the family influence peddling business https://www.thefederalcriminalattorneys.com/federal-statute-of-limitations

Oh, but New York taught us something. We don't have to pay attention to mere statutes of limitations. No! We can simply create a new retroactive law to restore culpability after a statute of limitations has expired.

"Irony is completely lost on these people."

Arrogance and entitlement can blind you to your own hypocrisy even when it is obvious to others.

It’s obvious that Van Jones didn’t learn anything in his pickin’ cotton years.

Under the new rubric of the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, it’s easily conceivable that Biden could order Trump’s arrest for espionage, sedition, or just about anything else he takes a mind to use.

None of us will be applauding this decision then.

True enough but doing so would require the approval of
Both houses of Congress including 60 votes in the Senate. Having gotten their dripping snouts smacked a couple times already, I’m thinking there may be a waning in the drive for lawfare

*psst* they already do (as evidenced by what Biden is doing)

All that has changed now is that it is established that they have immunity from doing so.

Joe should be HAPPY at this ruling, because this exact ruling is what will keep HIM out of jail!

ANYONE that has demonstrably broken the law should be charged, arrested, and tried.

no one is above the law.
