US supreme court rules Trump has ‘absolute immunity’ for official acts
- Thread starter Knuckle Ball

But the hush money in particular isn't connected to any presidential duties.
It's like me paying off a blackmail threat by an escort after being made president.
Its really weird the stories right wingers tell themselves.
Maybe Biden should exercise his newly declared immunity by sending a hit squad to take out the treasonous felon Trump, thereby saving democracy, and then fire 6 of the judges and have that immunity removed.
To follow up this feat Biden would have to make himself the
dictator, appoint his successor and scuttle the 2024 election
to preemptively take out Trump II.
No but some of the communications were with white house staff such as Hope Hicks who testified, and communications sent through white house emails were used as evidence. I;m not saying it's valid but with the scope of immunity set by scotus who knows
Nah, he could do the dirty work and then install a set of judges that would return the US to democracy and the law and then not run in 2024.
Save the country, take the fall for the GOP attack dogs and put the country back on track.
But would he?

It already has albeit delayed only at this point but it can get worse or better if you're in Trump's camp.

Amazing that this has already dropped down off the front pages.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but really just shows you how little people understand.
Wasn't really in dispute in the case.
I remain baffled you think this is a good decision.
It has already affected the case, although Merchand may refuse the motion.
He took the documents before leaving the presidency.
Therefore it will affect the case.
Which you aren't allowed to mention or infer.
All official acts are immune and motive can't be used to question that.
You didn't read the case or summaries of it, did you?
Bad faith doesn't matter.
The court will decide if something is an official act.
In other words, challenging the selection (if it is Donald Trump) is immune.
There is no list of official acts, it is "what does this judge decide is an official act for this person".
(If you want the fig leaf, it is that the President's job is to ensure the elections ran properly.)
It's a power grab by the judiciary.
Hopefully this is true, though unlikely and slow.
Fine for them to initiate an investigation, it just won't get anywhere quick or be a magic bullet.
SCOTUS didn't say.
They said that they get to decide later however they feel like.
So yes, if Trump did it, it is and he is immune as long as it is the current SCOTUS deciding.
Nice to see this moving forward, although I expect the press to ignore it, which is a shame, since it is only a messaging move for now.

Not that it matters, they're on break until the fall, aren't they?
