No one is above the law except, according to the Supreme Court, a president. Everyone who is accused of violating the law is entitled to due process. It is un-American and unconstitutional to believe in one and not the other.

I feel that the more people denied due process, the more the incentive is created to strike out and strike back. When fairness is denied to one group only, it closes the gap between law abiding and lawlessness. I would only hope that the strikes back are fairly delivered.
But that's exactly where we are at right now. Fascism.
Prez not above the law either! 👎
Hypothetical Syllogism for the day. If Trump is above the law And , Nobody is above the law, Therefore, Trump is a nobody
not according to our fascist leader
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We are seeing it in front of our eyes. We must REJECT it and demand transparency, accountability and consequences to ignoring the courts.
I can't WAIT till these 2 motherfuckers are together.
Exactly 😹
At what point do the people stand up against this crap. By not doing anything, they are only getting bolder and bolder.
It's a fine line. I think it will come to blood shed, but fear Felon47 will declare martial law. And in that time declare he's president for life. Will the military stand up against him?
Too many in this country are to scared to act so they will let it fall. This isn't the crowd i grew up with in the 60's today they are a bunch of keyboard cowboys and real confrontations do not happen like we had when there was no keyboards it was all face to face work or fight it out.
Sad but true. Was especially saddened when white women chose to vote for an adjudicated rapist and a felon even after Roe v Wade was over turned. We fought for their privacy rights in the 70's and here they couldn't even bring themselves to vote Kamala, ensuring that right would stand. Inexplicable.
Yes we fought for a lot of things like civil rights ect that are wiped out now.
Americans are too selfish and cowardly. Home of the Brave my ass!

Redefining culpability and punishment in the US is going to take generations because of 4 ineffectual years in the Biden presidency.
EVERYTHING Imbecile Orange is doing is against the Law and Constitution. All these acts against the departments by the Administrative Act are illegal, especially since done via Executive Order
Why are democrats so passive? Why aren't they demanding an IMPEACHMENT?! This shit makes zero sense at all. 😔 😟 😠 😡
Like the rest of Congress, Democrats have no spine. They’re cowards. They need to stand up to their lawless Republican bullies and remember whom they serve. If they had any courage, impeachment proceedings w/h already begun.
Turns out it's very American, because it's currently happening in America. We've got to stop lying to ourselves about what this country isn't and get down to fixing what it's become.
I could’ve sworn one of the creators of the constitution said “presidents do not have immunity”… But you know this is before they changed the constitution to so the needs of the current generation
Actually, the Supreme Court’s chief justice stated plainly that the Supreme Court’s justices are above the law — that they can be subject to NO binding CODE OF CONDUCT because “there is no higher authority to enforce it.” America has always been structured as an oligarchy — just now waking up to it
Congress can impeach them, but the GOP are traitors and won’t do it
Wait... wouldn't making him above the law, more like King than President?
Yep
Absolutely violating the law!
If the president is above the law why should he be allowed due process? Just remove him already, preferably to El Salvador….
Or a former president if his last name is Trump. He was not president when he committed many of his crimes!
But, but, but, “ we don’t have enough courts to give everybody a hearing.” DJT
There are members of the Supreme Court who need to read the Constitution.
The Supreme Court should reverse that ruling. On Monday.
We are being shown that anyone agreeing with Trump IS ABOVE THE LAW. Have we reached the tipping point yet? What more do people need to have happen? I don't know that answer.
Its So much worse…. It’s up to We, The people now! #truthnuke IT. HAS. BEGUN. MAGA WARS (Not rhetoric) THEY DECLARED CIVIL WAR ON U.S.: ARRESTING A JUDGE ICE home invasions!!! Anyone. Anywhere!!! Children victims!!!! Thanks to all who’ve comprehended and …. PASS THIS ON!!! Thank you!
That was just a motto n norm, it's been proven wrong so we have to stop referring to it like it's law. Basically it was just white entitlement
They should forever be hanging their heads.
THIS Supreme Court. I have a feeling if the US survives that Congress or the next court will rectify this giant mis-ruling.
Not "that" worried about DOGE/EOs per se as Congress or another POTUS can make them go away. Only 1-2 decades to rebuild. My real fear : if/when Thomas and/or Alito retire and are replaced by Cannon and/or Kacsmaryk, it'll be a 6-3 (or worse) SC(R)OTUS through 2052+ Unitary Executive. Afraid yet?
For sure. I mean, there's always a way for it to get worse. And we're already in more or less a Perfect Storm for that.
And King Felon can pardon everyone else It's Unconstitutional overall Everyone has right to due process They used 'High crimes and misdemeanors' before the legal code was even established. SCOTUS deliberately protected Trump, and everyone is paying the price.
Not now. The 🍊 ape has set a precedent for ignoring SCOTUS.
😂😂😂😂😂
They are referring to their new law, not the old law.
How is it even possible to have 'due process' that applies to citizens only? You can't make such a determination without due process, so it has to apply to all persons. Or else it's just capricious illogical nonsense - aka autocracy.
I was told by a right-wing radio host that the idea that the US Constitution applies to citizens and non-citizens alike, and is a nearly universal declaration of human rights was “an unrealistic reading of the document” and a “legally unsupported interpretation” of it. They are nuts.
Yep. I'm a bit obsessed with rightwing radio. Convinced it is the poison beating heart driving the radicalization of the gop for decades. Murdoch and social media do enormous damage, but the most hands-on, retail propagandizing and brainwashing occurs via that goddam non-stop radio sewer of lies.
🎯
The rule was that EVERYONE in this country, citizen or not, is SUPPOSED to get due process.
Yes, per the 5ht and 14th amts. But logically, it can be no other way. The notion of 'due process for citizens only', besides being evil and corruptly motivated, is logically invalid, and impossible to implement as a practical matter.
Call your Rep. and Senator every day. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Email them through their websites. Tell them this: 1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily. 2. Visit the concentration camps in El Salvador and demand to see your constituents. Or don’t ask for money… (Please repost)
Since US is functioning under 1798 WARTIME ACT, can the International Law Commission use Nuremberg Principles to stop this regime? *Core crimes under Int'l criminal law are genocide, war crimes, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and crimes of aggression.
This is why the whole Supreme Court branch needs total reform. Time limits on sitting judges and a full, impartial, and independent process on appointee. It's the only way to keep the system for all, and not just the few...
I believe they were compromised by the dark money gifts they received from their benefactors. Now the bribery and extortion are the return on their investment....and our country is sold out to the exploiters.
Why are we expecting anyone to do anything differently? They are thriving while we are being marginalized. They are growing stronger while diminishing our ability to make the changes to save ourselves. Or so they think.
You're right. We can't expect our current members of Congress to do any adjustments to the Supreme Court. Not when the majority of them are Republicans. Can we vote out our members of Congress, before an election cycle? Is there an avenue for the people to do that?
Convoluted where it shouldn’t be.
The recent decisions indicate the courts are doing a rethink on the “above the law” concept…
And ICE and other agencies violate due process every damn day. When the American version of Nuremberg trials take place, every person involved in these illegal actions should be in the dock.
Yes, we knew this. What’s everyone up there waiting for!
We need to start with the actual do-ers, the henchmen, enablers and hold them accountable - it's not just the president. Without them, he's powerless.
Trump’s new nickname : “No One” As in “No One is above the law.”
I'm wondering why the Supremes can't just overturn their earlier ruling to stop the total destruction of our Democracy and possibly the world.
So, does that mean the citizens of the U.S. can convict F45 for treason and hang him overnight? He's not above the law; he's outside the law. If the Constitution is used for all oaths, and all our authorities swore an oath to it, it's officially treason to break that law. President or not.
Art. III Sect. 3 1. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
By definition like Webster’s dictionary, you are correct, but the Constitution has clear legal language defining treason. According to the Constitution, yes, he legally committed treason but not by just violating the law.
Oh, I think Felon45's administration is above the law, cuz I'm pretty sure they're breaking it & haven't been arrested. So there's that.
Where’s the army🥴
No one should be above the law, *especially* the president... SCOTUS got it wrong, and we're all paying the price...
Not just any president. This president. They created this mess. This is all on them. I hope Roberts is soiling his robe.
We need to reach 12 million and more as fast as we can for the Peaceful Protests to be effective. We need to boycott as many goods and companies as possible. We have to come together as "We the People" to overcome this regime. This is "Mayday for May Day" youtu.be/tklD9g5qvRQ?...
That’s how it’s ALWAYS BEEN for over 200 years. “No One Is Above The Law” Yet… SCOTUS created this mess. tRumps minions believe they are ALSO IMMUNE to do any atrocities as long as they claim “they are following the president’s wishes”
Bribe taking law breaking 6 in the SCOTUS said DT is above the law even as a citizen.
Yes I heard that blonde bitch say that no is above the law! Yet trump sit there with his fucked up regime and break the law daily. Following the constitution is not optional, the laws are not optional! Even though the constitution was written by white men for white men, they didn’t want this.
King Donny is the only person in America who is actually above the law per a recent Supreme Court ruling, which is actually in conflict with the Constitution. We are facing the very real threat of a “totalitarian” autocracy.
That was our first constitutional crisis, and it pulled the thread
The Civil War of 1860 was a Constitutional Crisis also, and we’re heading in that direction again if we the people can’t do something about Trump and MAGA politics, like impeachment, convictions, and firing them all. Remember poor South Carolina. They were hit really bad. Who’s next?
That’s true, unless you’re dealing with a dictatorship.
youtube.com/watch?v=TONf... Speaking #truthtopower with “Do you regret all your lying 🤥 to Americans 🇺🇸?” Let’s circulate this video widely across the USA 🇺🇸 and World 🌍! #47 lies 🤥 cabinet lies 🤥 executive branch lies 🤥! ALL OF THEM LIE 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
yep
We need a new SCOTUS to correct that horrible error.
Well, note that SCOTUS members seem to be above the law themselves.
This chaos is what you get when you make a man with no morals above the law!!! 😡😡😡😡
I don't believe the first statement.
Wrong... even #POTUS are not allowed to be 'above the law' even if he/she has the executive/veto power. Everything must have some sort of consensus prior to any action. One is due process, the other is the Congress The Supreme court should go back and read the constitution once more!
And anyone that president think should be above the law.
Except of course if you believe Trump is your Messiah & you are a card carrying MAGA cult member. 35%+ of US voters fall into this category. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...
Spot on!!!
Always believed that the US had both a private and public sector. that was our flawed democracy. when did public sector become severed and aligned w socialism?
You forget that POTUS has immunity for official acts. Telling Seal Team 6 to kill a political opponent is not an official act, no matter what the White House says.
The Wisconsin judges arrest is a test of the Trump Injustice System testing their authority to arrest a judge and to intimidate other legal professionals. If this stands, nothing and no one else is safe in America.
MAGA is deeply ironically un-American.
Agree
Agree
Insane ruling.
Correct
All his minions are not immune. Their day will eventually come.
That's so true!!!
I'm guessing SCOTUS is working with the version of the Constitution that lists secret presidential powers. John Roberts and company sent away for these glasses to be able to read that 'visible part of the Constitution:
With the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan, SCOTUS should be feeling regret... and fear. I am ok with conservative SCOTUS reaping what they sowed.
well if due process does not apply to me then Mr. President it does not apply to you you should be kidnapped and disappeared to CECOT have fun with MS13 who all know you are a pedophile
The Supreme Court made kangaroo a of themselves with that one
Well, well. The Monster might arrest Dr's. Frankenstein. What fools they are.
The Supreme Court has created a monster. They should be ashamed of their actions in helping to destroy the Constitution.
And the president will pardon everyone that helps him.
Trump would have been put in jail two years ago if the system back then resembled today's.
American democracy was born when the country rid itself of one insane monarch; now it appears that it will die at the hands of another equally crazy despot.

I don’t think this is quite what SCOTUS said. I think they said he has immunity for official acts conducted in good faith. And every office holder has that. Even a condo board president has that kind of immunity.
“We can’t have trials for everybody” 🤦♀️😡😳🤬🤯👀
We can recover from a Trump Depression. Our grandparents & their parents survived one. But if we sit by and allow people to be kidnapped on our streets & shipped to a gulag in El Salvador, we will be lost & gone forever. And if that's the kind of people we really are, then good riddance to us all.
Unpopular take (I'm sure): If one is not under the law, one is not under the law's protections.
And that's why we have a lawless president.
I believe the due process afforded to a criminal president is called impeachment. Let’s do that.
Good idea but when.
A President is not above the law. Hell, we had a King beheaded in the 17th century because he believed he was above such an inconvenience.
Yet, here we are!
if only, we just witnessed pos trump evade yet another crime. convicted, not sentenced free as a bird disgusting
Every order he gives is a lawful order, even if it is an order to perform an illegal act. So says the SCOTUS. The Supreme Court needs to revisit that ruling and correct their mistake.
Can anybody challenge or appeal the immunity ruling to the Supreme Court?
to be clear about this also “inalienable rights” are 'personal rights held by an individual which are not bestowed by law, custom, or belief, and which cannot be taken or given away, or transferred to another person', not just US of A citizens, but people.
Agree 100%!
Then we must force Congress to impeach/convict/remove
Even then, if it isn't in scope then it'll bite his ass later; that the House won't act now is certain, however, the case gets stronger every day & time makes revenge (and his impeachment or prosecution) stronger & sweeter. He keeps taking the rope that'll hang him.
Let's check those insider trading rumors
Yes, Kings are generally above the law, because they are the law. They issue edicts from up high, this is how that works in a country where all people are not equal. Did Americans think that all people in America are equal? Whahahaha 😹
He isn't only crashing our economy... expect a drone.
EMP Chinese one?
You must stress -- Republican presidents only.
SCOTUS needs to declare Presidential Immunity null and void! 🇨🇦
SCOTUS needs a serious, viable threat.
Does SCOTUS permit a president to weaponize the DOJ; FBI; DOD; etc.? Best way to find out is get a legal suit in front of SCOTUS.
The US once described as the arsenal of Democracy, can now be termed the ‘dustbin’ of Democracy! Welcome to Trumpstan!
SCOTUS is Wrong. NO ONE should be ‘above the Law’!
No one is above death either. Trump and his loyalists can't live forever.
The Roberts Court has created a monster.
💯 along with Mitch McConnell
Republicans are above the law. The law will not solve this. Following the law will not solve this.
I wonder how long it will take until the majority realizes and start acting accordingly.
Too long. No one wants to commit the first felony.
Your president is above the law ? WTF !
The problem is Trump, MAGA and the GOP don't believe in the idea of due process👍
Trump will need due process like nobody’s business Lawyers: Do Process for everyone’s business!
They were so wrong with that one. We all knew what he was capable of...the bunch on the right did too but maybe they didn't think he would be THIS bad. They should have made a decision based on worse case scenario. Because we have one.
Thank you, Leonard. (While extending appropriate finger) Let your works inspire your purgatory.
SCOTUS has been compromised by Trump’s KGB. KGB: Kavanaugh Gorsuch Barrett SCOTUS - together with GOP - is playing Russian roulette with Americans.
Funny how 'law and order' always seems to mean 'law for you, order for me.'
So angry!!!
I wonder if Roberts is rethinking the immunity thing, the conservative on the court love Project 2025. Do they love the constitution more??
#GQPGestapo
Apparently the Supreme Court is above the law too
Guys, we need to give the Supreme Court enemas until clear! It's a standard medical order for those who are full of shit.
If the most powerful man in the world cannot be held criminally liable for his actions, we're all fucked.
Why 2.5 weeks aways for heating. Jeeeezuz they will deport more by then
The bigger problem with a president being exempt is that he has the power to pardon anybody for anything, so essentially SCOTUS has made everyone who is in Trump's favor above the law.
Hey, I know this might seem a little silly, but I do this little online election on Twitter. I don't know, Twitter, gross, right? And we really need help getting Democrats to win because the Republicans in the game are cheating! forms.gle/2Lc3qjwys5oN... If not have a good day!!1!
The one person in our republic who absolutely should be subject to the law is the President. The founders went to great lengths to hold the President to account. But, they never anticipated the existence of a Republican congress that would not lift a finger to protect us from a tyrant.
They're not hiding the fact that they are un-American. Pretty soon the scales will fall off the eyes of MAGAts everywhere as they're picked apart, one by one.
To clarify, I think you mean: to believe in the first and/or to deny the second?
We must change the presidents immunity by Congress ASAP.
Nation of Laws or Opinions? No Due Process — just crack skulls? Stop that! DP decides who are criminals. Guilty until proven innocent is so 3rd Reich. You can't just kidnap who you don’t like.
America is an evil country. Founded on slavery manifest destiny. Filled with spoiled stupid people. Fuck America.
What happens now that The Supreme Court and The Executive has violated the law? Who’s left?
John Roberts has a lot to answer for.
It's true. He's not above the law; he IS the law. Apparently. And he's making up the laws as he goes merrily along.
Can’t wait for the AG to send the FBI to arrest him
Contrary to the first sentence of this post, SCOTUS in its opinion last year in Trump v. United States said: “Like everyone else, the President is subject to prosecution in his unofficial capacity…The President is not above the law.”
Who does anything about it. Stop talking start doing. Those of us that can talk will. Those of you that can do, better.
IMPEACH THE BITCHHH!!!!! FIGHT AND YOU MAY LOSE BUT AT LEAST YOU CAPTURE THE NARRATIVE AND BEAT THE SHITTT OUT OF REPUBLICANS WITH THE TRUTH!!!!!
#ExceptTrump
Irony is a 34 count felon calling immigrants criminals
The same due process afford to the Fellon in the White House, should be afford to all Law Breakers
Impeach truck now
An army of heavily bankrolled Hackers is your only hope of taking trump and the garx (oligarchs) down. Expose and Divide...get them turning on each other.
Even Ancient Roman Republic had rules that leaders were free from consequences ONLY while in office. And aside from religious positions, every office was time limited .After that they were back to subject to the law.
I blame them for this fiasco
Supreme court needs to overturn that ruling NOW!
Right. But for half the nation, it's best to have a king. Magas are royalists.
Trump will get rid of them too the gullible fools
The Supreme Court sold out the American people & trashed the Constitution for a felon, convicted on 34 counts.
Trump would not be president today if it wasn't for due process giving him the time he needed to escape justice.
Un-American and unconstitutional is pretty much the Republican platform these days.
Trump got his process. We should run him through the machine at first opportunity. He can appeal from prison in Iran if he thinks he wasn’t treated fairly. They’d love to have him. Just ask them. Courts hear appeals every day from inmates. He’s not special. I’m not sure the ayatollah will free him.
No one is above the law except, according to the Supreme Court, a president. They really shit the bed on that one!
When half the voters believe in a thing, and they win an election, laws often get changed. It's like that in every country in the world, that has free and fair elections. Admittedly, most nations don't change their entire world view post election, but america does. That's why no one trusts america.
And if the senate passes (and it will ) H.R. 1526 is going to make it worse.
And the second point only matters to those who respect their oaths to support and defend the constitution.
I'm curious (and very uninformed) but since we know SCOTUS can (they wouldn't but bear with me) reverse their previous ruling that effectively makes the orange shitbag immune to...everything, can some person or entity petition for the review of that ruling, or does SCOTUS have to initiate it?
When do things that are happening in America, by Americans to Americans, stop becoming un-American? It seems like a quite tenuous straw to clutch at this point, and relatively meaningless.
History books will teach about this administration the way we learned about Hitler 🫤 disgusting and shameful.
Canada, here I come. 😁
That's getting close.
The presidential immunity conferred on the office of the president gave tRump free rein over the Supreme Court.
Also above the law, those loyal to Trump
Trumpzies are so brainwashed now that they're brain-damaged.
If you didn’t come in through the process, you don’t get it on the way out.
So declaring Martial Law in 2027 to abolish free & fair elections, that much of a stretch for Felon47. He has another 2+ years to get his henchmen into place in the military.
General strike now… no one works until trump is dead or in jail
If only we took THIS moment fight to actually CREATE a nation which treated all of us equally, with human dignity, with the goal of wellbeing for all… we have yet to be THIS nation, even as the 1% are drowning in wealth.
“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man's case that just took place in Florida; he had a lot of fires [and] they saw everything. To go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you're saying but take the guns first, go through due process second.
