I'll donate $100 to the legal fund of the first target of the "treasonous conspiracy" grand jury who asserts presidential immunity as a reason to not cooperate. The logical extension of Roberts' insane ruling is that immunity should prevent investigations too, and apply to subordinates.
I plead the 14th amendment.. if that citizen has Immunity, I have that immunity.. They are no more important than me.. the bullshit about their Job is nonsense.. as the 25th amendment covers when The President is incapacitated for ANY reason.. He is temporarily removed until the incapacitation ends
SCOTUS IS KOMPROMIZED
I wish Biden would have tapped the phones of the supreme court after that asinine ruling.
Audited their net worth would have been a better use of the taxpayer’s money. #Corruption
Or Obama should intervene to do so. Do I want the case law to extend this far? No. But Trump's minions will certainly try when they are investigated for their illegal actions, so there's no reason not to test it now. If anything, it'd be fun to see how quickly SCOTUS moves to hear these cases.
Two outcomes: 1. Courts deny the immunity assertion, and we get some caselaw that's bad for future Trumpies. 2. Courts approve it, which they would have for the Trumpies anyway, so why not take advantage? In either case, there'd be considerable delay.
But…we’re beyond caselaw mattering. D president - not immune, not constitutional, bad. R president - immune, constitutional, good.
He won't do it, but their case would be strongest if Obama would intervene. He can just say he strongly disagrees with the Supreme Court's immunity ruling, but he has the right to assert non-frivolous defenses on his own behalf and on behalf of his subordinates, so bam:
The main problem is that the rulings would likely be sealed bc of grand jury secrecy rules, but (a) there would be leaks and (b) there would be good arguments that the rulings should be partially unsealed so the public can see the legal discussion. There is plenty of precedent for this.
Read through a GM court hearing document that was “Kate’s” testimony regarding how she knew GM & JE that someone posted late last night… all 267 or 269 pages of it. Trump was named as “a good friend of JE” and Mar-a-largo was named as place in this court document.
The best way to undermine the immunity decision is to use it to remove all conservatives SCOTUS justices if we ever get a chance. Basically, do what Biden should have given the judicial coup that decision (and the 14th sec 3 case) were.
Please don't apply it to subordinates!
ofc the roberts court left itself discretion to decide what is and is not immune. i'm sure the professional calvinball team would find a way.
What a bunch of BS - Roberts must be on the list 🤬🤬
This administration does not want to be investigated because everything they do is illegal from the president and everyone he picked for his administration
