This is a very bad decision.

We are now ruled by kings...

Better pick wisely and really give thought to your voting in the future.

The power to act has always existed.

Words on paper and speech from people in robes never served as a deterrent.

Do you share the same sentiment on judicial and congressional immunity?

Your missing the problem here. Doesn’t matter if either Trump, Biden or any other President in the future doesn’t even actually end up abusing these powers, the problem is that the Supreme court has allowed these powers in the first place, simply so Trump can’t be held accountable.



What you goofs don’t understand is Trump, or any president, cannot do anything alone.

Any unlawful presidential order would not be obeyed.

What do you have to say about Biden’s political persecution of Trump?

Because that’s what it is, that’s a fact.

You may want to read the opinion yourself before opining from a position of sheer ignorance.....

I hadn’t grasped the severity of this decision when I first posted here. But it looks like the MAGA Supreme court is setting Trump up to be the king of the America… dark day for the US.


Democrats need to head for the hills !!!! Their own Brownshirt Legions are now powerless !!!! 🤣🤣

no its not, but i know you all made up your minds already, America is apparently worth sacrificing for some old dude without any morals, the law and our founding principle of everyone being equal under the law have been flushed down the toilet like #, hope you all enjoy the hell that America is about to become for everyone.

Any President of the United States can now do things he could not before, such as assassinate a world leader,or any ordinary man/woman on the street just by claiming they were a danger.Called an official act, the president can't be charged. He/She is immune to any charges the he/she deems official,even if it is a bs claim, it won't matter because no evidence can be submitted to contradict it.

This is the new power of the office of the President.

It is a very bad thing.

you just don't know what real tyranny looks like yet, but you'll know because to trump none of you matter, tyrants spare no one, not even allies.

and I'll say this, Republicans are about to lose florida with this ruling, too much like cuba, like fidel castro. so good luck winning this next election because you'll need it.

You are forgetting that now Biden can just say Trump didn't win. It's not illegal, he's the president and says so, so it's legal.

You see the problem, don't you?

No it does not, is not even a gross oversimplification, it's just flat-out incorrect.

All it does is ask the lower DC court to CLARIFY what is or isn't an official act of the President. Once that determination is made the prosecution can determine if they want to continue or withdraw, I would wager in this political climate in DC they will continue the case NO MORE NO LESS. Hell, even the leftists with reasoning and realistic rationalization skills are saying the same thing.

So tired of when something doesn't go the left's way it's the end of democracy. That's the real bull****, and we have heard the hyenas baying and yapping that excrement since 2016

Anything else is paranoid ramblings without any understanding of the process

www.cnn.com...



The lower courts will also have to parse what conduct was an official presidential act when it comes to Trump’s January 6-related behavior and his comments that egged on the Capitol riot. Roberts said the lower courts may need to look “what else was said contemporaneous to the excerpted communications, or who was involved in transmitting the electronic communications and in organizing the rally” in deciding which of those communications are immunized.

If Chutkan does rule on on what is an official act and what is not, it’s possible that Trump would appeal those rulings to the DC Circuit court and ultimately to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court’s ruling strongly suggests that those appeals would need to be resolved pre-trial, making it unlikely this case goes to a jury before Americans cast their ballots for president.

Jack Smith’s options going forward
It’s also possible that Smith’s office winnows down his case to bring it in line with the Supreme Court’s opinion. That could mean cutting out some parts of what they want to present to the jury, or even refiling the indictment against Trump so it doesn’t allege violations related to the official work of the presidency.

The special counsel’s office will also have to grapple with the Supreme Court’s decision to cut out any evidence from that case that would be official actions of the President – throwing another wrench in how the case will be prosecuted.

Still, with Chutkan, the timeline could move quickly – potentially as quickly as a few weeks for briefing and hearings.

Again, you're going to want to read the opinion......

Also, the impeachment process still exists.

This is what myself and many others here have been warning your ilk about. When you're done with Trump, Jones, Bannon et al. then that same machine will turn on you and yours.




and I'll say this, Republicans are about to lose florida with this ruling, too much like cuba, like fidel castro. so good luck winning this next election because you'll need it.


I don't think you understand what has been happening over the past 10 years.

Now it's Fed? Now?

It never ceases to amaze me how the extremists on both sides of our culture political devide sound so much alike.

The SCOTUS did it's job and made a decision... life goes on ... even if it resultes in one's side lossing an election.

This is going to have to be a case by case basis on specific acts backed up with a rigid finding of fact.

As I don't think any of the justices can opine on where the line is.
