the good news is that if the supreme court does rule in this way, Biden can--and absolutely should--replace them immediately. Nothing could be done, and no one can effectively bitch about it, because they sealed their own fate.
If the Supreme Court rules a president can kill his political rivals without consequence democracy is already over.
This is just an extension of what Republicans always do. Any time Democrats talk about removing the roadblocks that Republicans abuse to logjam government while Democrats are in charge Republicans yell that if Democrats do that then they will weaponize it against them, and they will. But they never worry about that when they are in charge. They happily change the rules to suit them, and then change them a back right before they leave office. Why? Because they know that Democrats love America, while Republicans love power.hoping Biden won’t stoop to the orange monkey’s level?
It's so ridiculous, America was formed to get away from the absolute power of kings.So if the president can have immunity the way Trump likes, why can't any office holder in gov't have the same "protections"? Why limit that "do as I please and never go to jail card" to the POTUS?
I mean, that's how ridiculously shallow and thoughtless Trump's reasoning is, although that "thinking" of his is consistent with his anti-democratic narcissistic point of view. His persistent drive for being a tyrant can be traced back to his desire to rig the gov't in such a way that fits his very limited (if any) abilities to lead a democracy. It's simply too complicated a job for his addled childish mind to handle. So his only recourse is to lead the nation as a dictator because it's the only way he'd be able to..... Make America Great for Himself.
And get away from colonial rule. But yet invaded Hawaii and Puerto Rico and many other island nationsIt's so ridiculous, America was formed to get away from the absolute power of kings.
I suspect the three judges aren't completely in agreement on the ruling and this is one that has to be air tight.Has anyone besides me wondering why we haven’t heard anything about trump’s immunity yet?
We are still striving for a more perfect union.And get away from colonial rule. But yet invaded Hawaii and Puerto Rico and many other island nations
I predict they will punt causing more delay, which only benefits one person.I suspect the three judges aren't completely in agreement on the ruling and this is one that has to be air tight.
Nah - they will rule against Trump and in short order. I imagine the ruling will be unanimous with the only possible distinction being how completely Trump loses.I predict they will punt causing more delay, which only benefits one person.
But this is a DC appellate court. They won’t benefit him. One Biden, one Obama and other a Bush appointee.I predict they will punt causing more delay, which only benefits one person.
Then what are they waiting for?Nah - they will rule against Trump and in short order. I imagine the ruling will be unanimous with the only possible distinction being how completely Trump loses.
To get the required security detail in order?Then what are they waiting for?
be nice if appeals were fast tracked.No matter what they decide, it's getting appealed. And delayed.
Hopefully, because they took so long to do a very comprehensive ruling covering all angles, SCOTUS may just kick it back.It’d
be nice if appeals were fast tracked.
I could be wrong, but I think that was for the Jan 6th 'civil lawsuits', not the criminal one.Trump’s crack legal team dropped the ball again, they missed the deadline to file an appeal with the Supremes on immunity in the Jan 6 civil trial!
That’s why I put civil trial in my post.I could be wrong, but I think that was for the Jan 6th 'civil lawsuits', not the criminal one.
Trump misses Supreme Court deadline to fight civil immunity from Jan. 6 lawsuits
Donald Trump potentially exposed himself to more civil liability for his alleged role in Jan. 6 after a deadline came and went for his opposition briefs on immunity at the Supreme Court.lawandcrime.com
Ooops, missed that , sorry.That’s why I put civil trial in my post.
