United States Supreme Court Rules Donald Trump Is Immune For Official Acts And Is Not Immune For Unofficial Acts

[Pogo]

Term limits on them and all voted offices.

Maybe the justices should be voted in too instead of hand picked.

they effectively already are, we are a Republican form of government, not a straight democracy.

Wikipedia. Excellent!

one wonders why you are avoiding answering the question.

My problem with this set up is that the people are given a magicians choice to begin with...

 

[Pogo]

Then why did you bother asking me a loaded question?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

We do now...

We have a bunch of wankers who can kiss the People's ***.

A well respected source to refer people to that are unfamiliar with even the basics, was it inappropriate? Why?

But we are ultimately responsible.

I think they prefer to be the Kissee.

I think they prefer to be the Kissee.

Amd I prefer to address them as "your royal ****erds."

So they’re corrupt because, in your words, “They behaved within the letter of the law.” Got it.

Yes, their job is to interpret, not just function as a robot, that is why we have this structure, the law is not an air hockey table.

I see. So Trump didn't stack SCOTUS, voters did.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

But we are ultimately responsible.

I had no part in this. I was telling people Hilary must win to avoid this disastrous Supreme Court.

Hmm are you confused?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

A well respected source to refer people to that are unfamiliar with even the basics, was it inappropriate? Why?

No. It's something for pseudo-intellectuals to snub because they are stuck on years ago when everyone was warning about it ans not today where it's been rated as accurate as Britannica.

 

[McBell]

What else other than the ruling itself?

It is so obvious you are completely unable to explain it?

 

[Revoltingest]

Biden should pardon him, right now, and announce that the US has better things to do, like going after the real architects of the attempted coup, the people who give Trump his marching orders, and then bury all the schmucks who stood on stage with him.

You believe that Trump is a puppet?
I say he's the cult leader.
Why?
No one is smart enuf to predict that such a vile
boor would rise to the highest office in the land,
and also be able to control such a thug.
Also, someone (or some group) that capable
would've also prevented his many gaffes.

 

[anotherneil]

It is so obvious you are completely unable to explain it?

Loaded question; you may not see it, but the explanation is there.

 

[We Never Know]

start here;
The letter of the law and the spirit of the law are two possible ways to regard rules, or laws. To obey the letter of the law is to follow the literal reading of the words of the law, whereas following the spirit of the law is to follow the intention of why the law was enforced. Wikipedia

Are you new to this concept?

So what was followed in SCOTUS this time.
The letter or the spirit?

 

[Revoltingest]

On the surface, it makes sense to give immunity
for official acts, & no immunity for personal acts.
Although, absolute immunity is a bit much.
Qualified immunity for official acts would be better.

The whole concept of immunity was made from
whole cloth by SCOTUS. So something that exists
independently of the Constitution is more easily
modified / granted / revoked / expanded by fiat.
