“You guys are reading too much into this… There’s no way that any reasonable person would consider that an official act and this hypothetical president would surely be swiftly impeached and convicted. You’re worrying over nothing.”
- Roberts, probably
He basically said in the opinion:
“All you liberal women-folk got your panties in a bunch. Let an alpha male set you straight.”
They’re already calling Sotomayor’s dissent “hysterical.” It’s not an exaggeration.
Yeah that doesn’t surprise me at all. This has been his M.O. right along.
- Rule the most egregious shit that pretty much anyone can see where it leads.
- Call the opposition hysterical when they point out the logical conclusion of his ideas.
- Pretend to be shocked when the opposition is proved right if he acknowledges it at all.
But hey, just calling Balls and Strikes guys. Nothing to see here.
Biden’s first official act: No one convicted of a felony may run for office.
That act won’t really hold up. That’s not really an action. It’s taking away something ephemeral. Rights are not in the physical world.
Now, jailing Donald for crimes. That’s doing something physical. And the Supreme Court could rule against him, and Biden could say, “Make me.” And Don would continue to be jailed illegally. And the Supreme Court would have no say over the impotence of their own creation. And we’d have an impeachment hearing that won’t go anywhere.
But Biden won’t do that.
Trump would.
We can dream, can’t we?
People keep saying this but the ruling was he can commit crimes not create laws. Besides, Supreme Court rulings only work for Republicans.
So he can’t bar felons from running for office, but he could hire a hit squad and suffer no legal consequences?
As long as the kingmakers sanction it so.
And if trump gets elected he
mightwill appoint even more corrupt fascist judgesNot “might,” “will.”
No, the actual judgement is that its presumed, and the other courts must figure out what counts as a constitutional act, an official act, and an unofficial act
Meanwhile, acts just be happening while the courts take their judicious fucking time to determine how official those acts were.
JFC, you can’t be this dense, right?
Right. That way it can be kicked around appeals courts until Trump is deceased.
The point of the supreme court is to make a ruling on cases that already went through the lower courts. So it seems weird to make an official opinion saying it’s for the lower courts to decide instead of just letting the lower court decide by not making an opinion at all.
The judgment included the Take care clause as enough to make any conversation or action with the Justice department to be fully immune, not just presumed. How doesnt the actually explicit parts of the constitution about military command be included in the absolute immunity bucket?
Obama did it. He did it at least twice.
