He sounded worried.. It's the first I have ever seen Neal like this.
-
there goes the illusion that the law applies to everyone.

What is the oath of office for? ...TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion

This is why your judicial should be fully independent from politics, unfortunately SC presidential nominations crosses that bridge.
-
The things corporate corruption will buy you.
-
the court needs to read the Constitution as written, not as they want it to be. It does not sperate from offical or unoffical actions.
-
Really? Starting a riot is an official act? UNBELIEVABLE!
-
I’d love a poll about how many people believed before today that the president already had immunity? I thought they did.

Rome is falling.

Does anybody remember when Trump said he could just think it and it was an official act of the presidency and it seems like the Supreme Court just confirmed that the king makes all decisions final
-
Can anyone explain this. If a president in office while election results are declared, refuses to accept the results, can he have power to do anything? If so why would any president in power give his office to coming president that results confirm? Every president can then continue ruling indefinitely untill he himself chooses to step aside. Just like kings
-
Perhaps Trump needs to watch his step if the president now has complete immunity
-
GOP, the old saying goes or what the biased Supreme Court rules , "Be careful what you wish for"
-
How is campaigning an official act of the president?!
-
The sword of justice has a double edge. And she wears a blingfold. The sad thing is that humans have a hard time with the blindfold. Pray for peace and wisdom for our leaders.
-
Why are the supreme court, justices that decide on matters of law. Appointed by politicians? They should be independent
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only person in the UK who has immunity from criminal law is the Monarch. Interesting parallel, at least to me... Good luck, USA.
-
The majority decision looks partisan because it is local and partisan. It flies in the face of the intent of the Constitution.
-
So can the sitting President do as he please.
-
To sum up: immunity for official acts only. There.
