SCOTUS

[Omaha 680]

Everyone in politics is insane. Someone please go back to 2012 and prevent DJT from giving the sports almanac to himself.

[Jeff Lebowski]

The deliberate illiteracy about the law that democrats are evincing about this Supreme Court opinion on presidential immunity is shocking. It's as if they don't understand the meaning of presumptions, that they can be overcome, that what is an official act depends on fact finding by a trial court, I.e., a trial. Trump has not been given a free pass. Neither side won. All professions and public officials including journalists enjoy some kind of immunity.

The Supreme Court had already held decades ago that Nixon was immune from tort claims for official acts.

Even Laurence Tribe is being deliberately stupid. The opinion restores restraint and sanity. I'm sure Biden could be indicted for negligence about the border. Sotomeyor is irresponsible suggesting that assassinating your opponent is an official act. If the tables were turned I know democrats would be praising this decision. The partisanship has swallowed reason and even true liberalism.

Amen, brother.

Actually, I was thinking this was in early November. PAC is correct, it was standard time

[Moliere]

I still don't believe Pence saved our democracy. The checks and balances would have held even if Pence folded.

Agreed, although Pence stopped the thing from going any further. The checks and balances would have held. The majority of Americans accepted the results of the election and a small crazy few would not have turned the tide to out Trump in office again after he lost, even if they killed Pence and other republicans.

Can you imagine what would have happened if pence were hung that day? Do people really think that act would garner any sort of sympathy for Trump?

No surprise you've bought into the MAGA spin. Among other deceptions you're promoting: that tweet shows a 1213 time stamp, but that's Pacific Time. He sent that tweet at 3:13 EST, long after his aides had been pleading with him to send a "no violence" tweet, and hours after telling his minions many times to go up to the Capitol and "fight like hell." Trump resolutely refused to say anything to calm the situation until long after the damage had been done and he slowly realized this was going to reflect very badly on him.

But then, you're a smart guy and you delight in trolling us. Some of us delight in pointing out your fatuous political and foreign policy takes, and still others delight in pointing out the futility of our Pavlovian responses to those takes. Each CSer filling the measure of his creation.

I think natural was some weird that Thomas actually was all about. I can't google it right now, but iirc, exploring that valid. Thomas is and was a weird dude.

Ok, yeah I just did some reading on it, and it actually jogged my memory from Thomas's confirmation hearing about the issue and what it's all about, and how Thomas distanced himself from it.

So yeah, while that compilation of sound bites sounds funny when put together, they're obviously taken out of context, which was really what was nagging at me.

That sounds funny, but since I'm a lawyer, I don't know if I should laugh or not.

Apparently Trump isn't the only person that doesn't understand what Grandpa Joe is saying...

And that was back before folks thought he had dementia.

What is Grandpa Joe waiting for? He has the power to win this election...

Embedded Tweet

A supreme court justice said this ruling makes the president a 'king above the law'... It's good to be king!

[falafel]

Oh, I forgot you can embed video into a tweet... that platform sucks, man.

Or, perhaps, the world and all its complexity isn't contained in a single failing social media platform.

[Uncle Ted]

It was live video. The world isn't just a collection of tweets, you twit.

[falafel]

Oh, sorry, I posted the wrong tweet from Trump... I was looking for the one he said to burn down the capital, string up Mike Pence, and rape Nancy Pelosi. I was also looking for the one that Trump told the National Guard to not come to the capital. Maybe you can post them.
