“…Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law…”

Today, from Mark Alford (r):

Statement on Supreme Court Upholding Presidential Immunity:
A WIN FOR AMERICA
Today, the United States Supreme Court upheld a vital principle: Presidential Immunity. The Supreme Court’s decision is a resounding victory against the radical left’s relentless efforts to undermine our great institutions and impair the abilities of the future Trump Presidency.
By affirming President Trump’s immunity, the Supreme Court has defended the Office of the President against unjust political harassment and unfair targeting. This political harassment will no longer be normalized. Baseless and politically motivated lawsuits have no place in blocking the cornerstone of democracy in our great nation.
President Trump’s unwavering commitment to the rule of law was applauded through the court’s courage in standing up for what is right for America. His steadfast leadership in the face of unprecedented opposition stands strong. Today’s decision is an inspiration to generations of Americans to stand up for our values and our freedoms.
Today will go down in history as a beacon of hope to all who cherish our nation.
Today marks a landmark decision of triumph for the Constitution.
Today is a win for America.

“How are you ever going to wash the stench of Trump of yourself?”

Some of the responses:

Biden should immediately remove the 6 far right wing justices and declare it an official act.

Heh.

[….] why not? If Presidents can do whatever the hell they want as official acts. I actually believed the court should affirm the President isn’t immune from criminal acts but it’s evident that 6 of them are protecting Trump and are bought and paid for by billionaires. They just declared the President a king. Do you ever stop and listen how stupid Trump sounds. Do you ever think how someone who so easily cheated on everyone of his wives would cheat anyone including his supporters. Do you ever listen to the interviews of his supporters at his hate rallies? They are bat shit crazy. I feel embarrassed for all his supporters.

what? it was OK to you that trump tried to stop the lawful transfer of power? Listen to yourself.

Is stealing an election official. Is J6 official, They’re definitely making some of Trump’s action “legal” even though they were clearly an attempt to steal the election.
This whole thing is to protect Trump without giving Biden too much power.
The corruption of the Republican justices is absolute and they have to be stopped. Expand the Court. All they did was as delay his trial because an insurrection is not an official act.

no it is not.
It was a Trump influenced SCOTUS that did NOT fully address Presidential Immunity.
Yes, it did address (to a point) Immunity for “Official” acts. By doing so, it is carving out acts that are/were clearly illegal for most Americans, but are ok because they are now “Official Acts”.
SCOTUS has proven yet again, that like a number of Politicians, they too are beholden to Trump. Unfortunately, by being so beholden to Trump,
SCOTUS continues to show how they don’t care, nor have the ability to interpret and define law in a fair, just, and equal manner.

Stealing and hiding classified documents is not an official act.
Fraud is not an official act.
Congressman Mark Alford support fraudulent criminals.
End of story–still

Justice delayed is justice denied.

You didn’t read it very close Mark lmfao. And Trump has no respect for the law and that is quite obvious. You’re a joke, sir.

Today marks us one step closer to Putin. Previous presidents resigned rather than move us towards dictatorship.

They had fewer enablers, like Mark (r).

Due to the Supreme Court decision granting extra-constitutional immunity to a former President, Quality of character has never been more important for candidates.
We must elect Presidents with good character, morals and honesty. All else is optional.

How quaint.

Jefferson never wished the President or the Supreme Court vested with this much power. Think about that over Independence Day.

Things that are now legal:
Assassinating your political opponent because they’re a “clear and present threat to national security”
Allocating all tariffs to his or her personal bank account
Taking any bribes they want
Installing all the loyalists and sycophants they need in the military, DOJ, and every other agency and fire any federal employee.
Implementing Project 2025
We will have a KING not a President

Mark Alford (r) considers that a feature, not a bug.

This ruling has granted the complete discretion of what an official act is to the POTUS. The Supreme Court even cites the appointment of a special counsel as something the DOJ doesn’t have the authority to do.
Rather implying that instead a sitting POTUS and fully weaponized their Departments to what the deem within the duties of their office.
The implications of this are far more dangerous than your pea brain can comprehend. As Justice Thomas points out this is now a case-by-case basis.
Right now the Biden Administration has complete authority to hold you and all your colleagues accountable for anything he deems a threat. Including withholding funding to Ukraine and refusing to create a border bill.

You’re just as corrupt as the former President and those conservative judges. The only thing “radical” is viewpoints like yours and the majority of conservatives these days. This Supreme Court will go down in history as the MOST corrupt court.
