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

Posted on 07/01/2024 11:28:50 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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

I hope that on Jan 20, 2025, 12:01 PM, Trump appoints 10,000 special prosecutors to persecute Democrats, MSM hacks and Hollywood fluffers. I hope he hounds them into hel.

Democrats are too stupid to realize it is this EXACT ruling which will keep Biden out of jail once Trump takes over!

There’s s/t in the SCOTUS Immunity ruling that says that courts cannot judge the intent of Presidential actions, based on assumptions or hypotheticals.

So, to me, that means that if Trump calls Ga and asks if they can “find 10,000 votes,” then that is not evidence that Trump called Ga and asked for 10,000 illegal votes.

Why do you say that?

Sounds very much like something the Dems would exploit.

again, the world of projection is strong with these morons.

Look, these clowns OPENED UP this whole thing by going after their political opponent Donald Trump.

All Donald Trump wanted to do was ensure the fraud that went on in 2020 was stopped and caught. And guess what? The courts stupidly stopped him.

And the Demon Rat party decided his attempt to guarantee voter integrity was a crime.

They started the fight. They will rue the day they thought this was a good idea.

Talk to the J6 people rotting in the horrors of the Federal jail system about who are the Democrat hoodlums currently giving themselves a “license to thug”--and applying it with inhuman viciousness.

“ Irony is completely lost on these people.”

Not on the diabolical ones planning and implementing.

They laugh and sneer at it. It’s an added bonus for them they’re well aware of.

You’re right the mass of cultist acolytes miss the irony.

You are correct in concept, but the field of civil rights law is complex and with few conservative lawyers on the plaintiff side. In addition, immunity for public officials can protect even clear malefactors like Garland, Jack Smith, and others.

That ought not deter us though. Congressional and executive investigations can create a public record of the facts needed to establish civil liability in spite of immunity claims. Moreover, there are bright, eager conservative lawyers who understand or can learn the plaintiff side of civil rights claims. The key will be to find the deep pockets and law form support to make such work possible.

It would serve them right, because that’s exactly what they have done. But Trump didn’t go after political opponents in his first term. He’s unlikely to do it in his second, so they should STFU.

As long as we are in make-stuff-up lawfare land, a prosecutor with no scruples in front of a judge with none might argue successfully that the statute was tolled while the defendant controlled the justice department.

Despite being wrong, they already ARE using the power of the Presidency to persecute political opponents.

Just the opposite, but typical for LSM to lie to their low info voters.
