This past week, I have read online and watched on FNC the story of an Autopen used during the 4 years of Biden occupying the White House. What I would like to see done, is to have the DoJ charge just one person that was granted immunity under the Autopen E.O. Bring up charges, start taking that person to trial. Then when the Dems start gnashing their teeth and rendering their clothes, President Trump and the DoJ can have a press brief explaining that by being signed by an autopen, all those E.O. are unConstitutional, and null and void. Let's...

An FBI SWAT team smashed the front door of a suburban Atlanta home in 2017, threw a stun grenade inside and held a family at gunpoint as they attempted to serve a search warrant. There was one problem: They had the wrong home. The traumatized family sued for damages in federal court, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit found in 2024 that they had no recourse. The federal government had broad immunity from being held liable for the error. The Supreme Court said Monday it will review that decision, in a case that could have broader...

resident Biden rejected the idea that commanders in chief are immune from prosecution for “official acts” during his final Oval Office speech on Wednesday, an apparent parting shot at President-elect Donald Trump. ”We need to amend the Constitution to make clear that no president, no president, is immune from crimes that he or she commits while in office,” Biden said. “The president’s power is not unlimited,” the 82-year-old outgoing commander in chief argued. “It’s not absolute, and it shouldn’t be.” Last July, the Supreme Court ruled that presidents are afforded absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” undertaken as commander...

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s request to delay Friday’s sentencing in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ case. Trump will be sentenced on Friday after appellate Judge Ellen Gesmer said presidential immunity does not cover presidents-elect. Last week crooked Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to be sentenced in Bragg’s hush money case related to Trump’s payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. .....Snip..... Judge Ellen Gesmer rejected Trump’s claim that the case should be delayed because of presidential immunity, after his attorney argued before the court that Trump is covered by presidential immunity that extends to him...

Few people worked harder over the past few years to put Donald Trump behind bars than Liz Cheney, the former (alleged) Republican congresswoman from Wyoming. Seeking revenge for Trump’s longtime criticism of her father’s “weapons of mass destruction” lie, Cheney sought to settle a family score by imprisoning Trump over the events of January 6. “No one is above the law!,” Cheney, in her grating sanctimonious style, frequently insists. Well, except for her. It now appears Cheney is preparing to fight any federal and/or congressional probe into her demonstrably corrupt role as vice chairman of the January 6 Select Committee....

The New York judge in President-elect Donald Trump's criminal hush money case ruled Monday that the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision does not apply to that case. Trump had sought to dismiss his criminal indictment and vacate the jury verdict on the grounds that prosecutors, during the trial last May, introduced evidence relating to Trump's official acts as president, after the Supreme Court later ruled in July that Trump is entitled to presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office...... In his ruling Monday, Merchan found that there was "overwhelming evidence of guilt" that led the...

In the aftermath, countries are seeing an increase in viral infections, particularly among children and teenagers.

COVID-19 vaccination has been the subject of immense scrutiny and misinformation since the vaccines were first administered in the U.S. nearly four years ago. In the first year alone, it is estimated that vaccinations prevented 14.4 million deaths globally, according to estimates by Imperial College London. However, vaccination has not eliminated the disease—a fact that many of its opponents have jumped on. Across social media, skeptics have claimed that the COVID-19 vaccinations are "ineffective" and do not fit into the historical definition of a vaccine. But what does the science say? The Claim There are widespread claims on social media...

Three and a half years after the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals prohibited a public university from retaliating against a professor for refusing to use a student's preferred pronouns, the Cincinnati-based court went even further by stripping qualified immunity in a similar case.University of Louisville officials can be held personally liable for allegedly retaliating against a psychiatry professor through a "hostile, humiliating work environment" designed to chill his speech and not renewing his contract after he questioned so-called gender-affirming care at a Heritage Foundation event in 2017, a three-judge panel unanimously ruled.President Biden nominee Judge Andre Mathis, who dissented...

On Thursday, Judge Tanya Chutkan held a status conference to address the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case against Trump. Judge Chutkan came out swinging against the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, saying the upcoming election is “not relevant.” Chutkan did not issue a ruling, but she is expected to release a scheduling order as soon as Thursday evening. President Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith presented opposing arguments for how the January 6 case will proceed in a joint status report filed last Friday night ahead of Thursday’s status conference. Last Tuesday, Jack...

Trump's hush-money sentencing is scheduled for September 18 in Manhattan. But his lawyers plan to throw a monkey wrench that could delay things until well after Election Day. That legal maneuver is massive and has a name: presidential immunity. Donald Trump's rap sheet is a work in progress these days. Under the former president's current court schedule, he will greet Election Day as a sentenced felon. But legal scholars predict Trump is about to use his new presidential immunity powers to execute an unprecedented legal maneuver, one that will delay his hush-money sentencing, now set for September 18, until well...

VIDEOUntil recently, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig's shtick has been to just idly sit back like a fat Buddha and sadly whine about how Donald Trump just keeps winning despite all the Lawfare tossed at him. However, the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity appears to have broken poor Luttig to the extent that his shtick has switched up and he has gone full angry Drama Queen chock full of absolutely HILARIOUS overacting about how Trump has won yet again.

This is a guest post by David Fischer, a Maryland and D.C.-based defense attorney and the senior partner at Fischer&Putzi,P.A. NY State Supreme Court Justice Merchan has scheduled sentencing for September 18th. But two days earlier, Merchan will rule on Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment in toto or, alternatively, to throw out the jury’s verdict and grant a new trial based upon the prosecution’s illegal use of immunized evidence during the trial. Trump’s motion stems from the U.S.Supreme Court’s seminal decision in Trump v. US, which held that Presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for their “official acts,” In...

Vice President Harris on Monday backed President Biden’s push for term limits for Supreme Court justices and a constitutional amendment to counteract their recent presidential immunity decision. “President Biden and I strongly believe that the American people must have confidence in the Supreme Court. Yet today, there is a clear crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court as its fairness has been called into question after numerous ethics scandals and decision after decision overturning long-standing precedent,” she said in a statement. Biden’s three-fold proposal includes 18-year term limits for the nine justices, which would enable the sitting president to appoint...

WASHINGTON (TND) — Comedian Rosie O’Donnell tore into the Supreme Court on Monday following its presidential immunity ruling in a case involving former President Donald Trump. The high court ruled Monday former presidents retain some immunity from prosecution after leaving office. The decision has significant implications on Trump’s election interference case stemming back to the events of January 6, 2021. Taking on TikTok, O’Donnell claimed the ruling allows a president to hire a mercenary to kill "anyone." “Although ‘no one is above the law’ is the foundation of this nation, apparently a president is above the law,” she said. “He...
