“Isn’t it strange that Congress-critters like Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney can lie their guts out as long as they do it under the guise of their duties as Representatives? They have blanket immunity for all the crimes they are currently committing.”

Great point.

They unexpectedly overturned Roe.

Actually they punted it back to states not really the same thing is it? They wrongly ruled with Roe was that babies in the womb were not humans and had no constitutional right to life, all they did in overturning Roe was say that states should now decide if babies were human, sort of like Pilate washing his hands in public. All they are saying is we aren't murdering babies the states are and we won't stop them from doing it.

I said the morning that the Roe decision came down that old people were next and we saw some of that during the opening of Covid fraudemic didn't we.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she was worried that granting Trump’s position for presidential immunity would “embolden” a president to act criminally “with abandon.”

It would then be up to congress to impeach.

Might as well make it complete immunity. Democrats already have effective immunity. So giving all presidents complete immunity would even things up.

"The reason why there have not been prior criminal prosecutions is that there were not crimes," he said.

And there are STILL no crimes, Michael Dreeben, you lying sack of rotting dogsqueeze.

Perjuring yourself in the face of a federal judge is not a crime if you're a Democrat.

Ask federal judge Susan Webber Wright.

I thought Air Ketanji was still trying to pass the quiz about what a woman is.

Thank you. She was my guess as the justice most likely one to make such a statement.

No immunity for a president - no immunity for judge, including Supreme Court judges.

Our current president with his taking of bribes from our enemies. Will he be prosecuted. How about O? I thought it was illegal to spy on your political opponents and use your power to have the FBI spy on citizens. Illegal

I agree with Mark Levin. SCOTUS has no business intervening in the executive branch. The constitution allows for the impeachment of presidents who commit high crimes and misdemeanors.SCOTUS has no business deciding what immunity there is The immunity is unconditional under the Article 2 presidential powers, when a president actrs criminally, Congress can impeach a president. That's the way the Constitution is set up.SCOTUS HAS NO ROLE.

NO way that SCOTUS should even bother with the nuances on immunity the Court discussed. While POTUS is in office he has blanket immunity.PERIOD.

Or else we become a third word tin pot dictatorship.
