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

Exquisite gaslighting by a Democrat party sold out to lying.
The SCOTUS finding accomplishes precisely the opposite. It prevents Biden from criminally charging Trump for official acts.

Is the creation of multiple LLCs to funnel money from foreign actor to Presidents in return for favorable action for the foreign actors included in the presidential duties that would allow him immunity from prosecution?

I think this is the main question, with variations for the various criminal conduct.

Can a President legitimately conduct foreign policy threw bribery of the President and his family members?

Always accuse others of wanting to do the very same thing you are doing.

Today’s decision did nothing but reiterate the already existing rules regarding Presidential Immunity. 50% of the libtards are so stupid, they think its something new, while the other 50% know nothing changed but they are lying their azzes off (because libtards LIE, its what they do, just like Brandon)

Biden never needed immunity to go after his political opponent.

Tactical point here: Man, oh man, if I were a Demoncrat in power, I would move quickly to take advantage of this USSC ruling today and move into a role to promptly round up and jail all opponents on the Right, just as MAGA has been threatening the libs for years in speeches and the like. Now they will have the tools in my estimate. It can be classified under “official duties” if assessed as a national security threat. The former President’s attorney (John Sauer — Rhodes Scholar, Harvard Law School grad, Supreme Court clerk, former solicitor general of Missouri) argued for as much for immunity even in the case of Seal Team Six being used to take out opponents. Heard it live on the radio, Supreme Court session on this case.

They act as if this is some kind of new Presidential power and license.

It’s not, and all Presidents wield it.

Oh, they not worry…

We’re just going to do to them what they’ve been doing to us… After all, it’s only “fair” after all, and they’re all about “fair“ as we all know…

Exactly. This is not the win for our side that many here think it is.
