Totally this ruling was made with Biden in mind … 7/13/24 think about it
According to the US Supreme Court, it seems that Hitler's concentration camps would be construed as official acts and thus immune to prosecution. How strange that US can prosecute foreign leaders for crimes but not their own President.
Not only his he immune for official acts, you cannot use official acts against him in court for a case for unofficial acts. Hes gonna walk away free, his new york case will be appealed, and he will win in November.
The Seal Team hypothetical isn’t that far fetch when all it takes is one White House staffer or whoever the President plots with for it to be deemed an official act, allowing them to get away.
Let's look at this another way. Maybe SCOTUS is giving Biden a hint to act now against Trump and take him out before Jan 2025 without worrying about being prosecuted!? Woohoo!
It is clear that President Biden must use the military to put all of the supreme court justices under house arrest. Next he must demand that they work together to change this new law they have invented into something that fixes the damage it has made. He must delay the next election until SCOTUS has created something that will work for everyone, not just Trump. (This new "law" makes it possible for this to be done, doesn't it?)
If that doesn't work after a reasonable time, President Biden should remove ALL the SCOTUS members and fill it with a balance of new justices, with reasonable a liberal five. Then they get to fix what has been a fiasco.
(I think President Biden should immediately send Trump to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. I'm kidding … but wish it could happen.)
Is this Fox news?
What it means is that the SC now has the ultimate power over presidents and nobody can do a thing about it. They are above the law.
Richard Nixon didn’t go to jail right. They didn’t press charges on him. George bush didn’t go to jail for going to war under “weapons of mass destruction” that was not proven. Like I’m not a fan of trump but I don’t see how the opposing party has wasted so much trying to stop a guy or tried arresting him instead of focusing on the country and focusing on having a better candidate than Biden. Time is something you can’t get back and they’re starting to see the writing on the wall.
Republicans are willing to throw the baby (country) out with the bath water. They are willing to cut the baby (country) in half. 1 Kings 3:16-28. Biden NOW needs to be BOLD and FEARLESS!
That ruling by the SCOTUS is impeachable.
You are the worst reporter get rid of him you sorry republican no balls
If you are a Christian and you can't see that Donald J Trump fits the biblical description of the Antichrist then I don't believe you are real Christian! Also who will become the new Jews, African Americans or immigrants. America is becoming nazi Germany right before our very eyes and no one is sounding the alarm😢
It means police in your homes without a warrant.
The US Supreme Court has Equal Justice Under Law engraved into its walls at the front of the building but the same people shield presidents from taking any accountability for any crime they commit. It should say Unequal Justice under law. And also say Third world country supreme court.
The more you bullshit about Trumo the more devising you are amongst Americans 👍
Today is the 4th, for the first time in many years I will not be celebrating, because the SCOTUS has reversed the Declaration of Independence.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken.
Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

So can u impeach a president anymore??? So insurrection can b immune???
he literally stole the 1st presidency, doesn't that make him not legit? If he is not legit, does the new ruling on immunity not apply to trump?
We're in! It was a brilliant decision by the D. C. Circuit United States Court of Appeals that didn't need to be tampered with. Certain Supreme Court Justices exposed their bias and have opened themselves to action. They just gave President Biden the latitude for such action!
Piss off CNN and Jake Tapper. You gave Trump an unlimited platform to lie. I hope he jails you FIRST!
All this talk about replacing Biden is ridiculous. He's been one of the most effective presidents in history. He was over-prepared and tense. He's not too old. His judgement is still sound. If he is so weak, why is Xi in China, and Putin in Russia, and Trump in Mara Lago hoping he leaves? They know better than all "sky-is-falling" spineless Dems who want him replaced.
This is outrageous.
But the ruling states it is assumed that everything is official, if not, then NYC would be able to go along with the sentencing, but now it is assumed that there were official acts, rather than him appealing from a jail cell. We are screwed as a nation. This may be the final days of a free nation.
RIP USA 1776-2024
The NEWS sucks hard
The reporting on this is ATROCIOUS! WRONG! Any prrsident is now assumed to be innocent and all crimes as done during official acts that now must be proven through the courts to be "unofficial" acts. This means that a president can say, "I deem so and so a threat to democracy so I am going to shoot this terrorist". Then, somone has to sue him, take it through all the appeals to the supreme court. He can then "officially" threaten to murder any SOTUS justice who may rule against him, or even murder somone who plans to arrest him for the previous murder and say "it is to defend democracy", which then will also have to go through years of appeals, all while he commits numerous other crimes.
Any military veteran SHOULD have noticed Day 1. Regulation funeral service at Arlington. Plenty of tells since. It's a sting op folks, let's talk about that.
It's Time for Biden to issue an executive order banning any felon from holding any federal office. Do it right after the Supreme Court is out of session and right before the election. Biden could even just cancel the elections because of corruption and it would be LEGAL as of this past Monday.
Courtesy of Trump appointmented judges Biden is now King
Long live king Biden

How can we rely on the courts to make fair decisions, based on their recent actions?
