Supreme Court agrees to quick review of Trump’s presidential immunity claim
The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to review a fast-tracked petition asking if Donald Trump can use his status as a former president to claim immunity from criminal charges related to his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
You're viewing a single thread.
Blows my mind how this isn't just the most cut and dry logical answer ever.
Is the president immune from prosecution under the law? No. No one is. That's the point of the laws. If a leader is fully immune they are a dictator.
And fuck it, even if you're insane and think Trump would be a good King of the US, if this gets passed then there's no precedent stopping Biden saying at the end of his term "no, I'm staying, screw you". That is terrible regardless of your political standing.
Screw waiting for an election. If the SC states that a sitting President is immune from law, the current President should simply point this out to everybody (so we're clear here) and cancel the upcoming election. Leave plenty of time for the SC to backpedal so the elections actually do happen, but then Trump can be prosecuted.
Or even better, the sitting President can start hunting Supreme Court Justices for sport.
You know, since there's no law saying he can't.
Well damn if that's the new job expectation then I really think the president is too old for duty. I vote for The Rock.
Well, if the President is immune then he can always appoint a SCOTUS Hunter cabinet position.
Deepfake Biden into one of the adaptations of The Most Dangerous Game and we'll have a movie night
King of the US
If it's going to be anyone, it's gotta be King Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho.
I mean, if we're gonna have a king at all, I'd vote Charles III over this POS. And that's saying something.
Maybe we could just rescind our independence. Our problems become shared problems. Nothing really improves, but it becomes more socially acceptable for me and the boys to cry into pints every night.
It's indeed a bit crazy but it highlights a need we have in legislation to properly spell out enforcement. Gone are the days when it was enough to have a gentleman's agreement to report and act on certain transgressions. Now, sadly, the default action is to ignore and deny until the issue goes away and it works far too often.
Our current law system also vastly benefits those who can spend millions on lawyers.
