As if last week’s debate wasn’t bad enough for the communist left, the Supreme Court ruling today that says Trump has absolute immunity for all official acts as president has sent them into election night meltdown mode. We’re going to need a lot of cope juice for these fucking communist clowns, and fast!
The US Supreme Court ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump enjoys absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his presidency — without saying whether his alleged 2020 election subversion falls under that.
The nation’s top court instead left it up to the lower courts to sort out what constitutes an “official act” by a sitting president — and whether that applies in the 2020 election subversion case.
In a 6 to 3 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the panel stressed that the “president is not above the law,” and that “not everything the President does is official.” All three liberal justices dissented.
The high court’s ruling vacated an earlier decision by a lower court judge rejecting the immunity theory and cleared the way for more appeals by the former president that could set the trial schedule back months or years, if it ever happens.
“Like everyone else, the President is subject to prosecution in his unofficial capacity. But unlike anyone else, the President is a branch of government, and the Constitution vests in him sweeping powers and duties,” Roberts wrote in a lengthy 43-page decision.
