'Genuinely shocking': Pro-Trump justices give presidential immunity case bad faith treatment

An MSNBC prime time panel share overall assessments of the arguments presented to the Supreme Court today on the question of whether "presidential immunity" protects Donald Trump from being prosecuted for his role in the January 6 insurrection, and the brazen manner in which some of the partisan justices showed their willingness to manipulate the case to Donald Trump's benefit.

By not handing down a decision before the prez election, they are rolling the dice to see which candidate wins. 4. If Biden wins, they will rule against immunity because they don't want anyone that is not trump to have immunity. They will TRY to pass this off as being non-partisan in an effort to regain some of the credibility they have lost (don't be fooled! It would be just a BS show, until the next R is elected). 5.

DEMOCRAT Junta actions One of junta leader Biden's first official acts was the firing the nation's African American Surgeon General. He then issued racist and xenophobic travel ban orders against people from South Africa. The announcement of Biden's appointment of white supremacist Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development was met with "peaceful protests" by DEMOCRAT Black Lives Matter. Biden told his junta organizing committee, “ This country is doomed! It is doomed not just because of African Americans, but because by 2040 this country is going to be minority white European!

I listened to most of the SCOTUS arguments and there were several times when I literally wanted to throw up like the vertigo mentioned. I've listened to other Alito speeches and he comes across as so insanely arrogant. When he said he didn't want to talk details it was obvious what he was trying to do. He wanted to make everything abstract (and appear so superior and smarter than everyone else). He was so transparent and did it so often that in my opinion he made a total fool of himself. When it ended I was pretty upset and kept turning over the question in my head, "How did these judges become so corrupt?" How did they loose the basic concept of right and wrong? How could they justifiy all their actions that have delayed and delayed the trials? How could they support such a corrupt individuyal as Trump? What are the points of stupid what-ifs when so much is at stake? If they grant blanket immunity to presidents I think it would be time to start a national debate to remove them all and start over.

[@mainely8007]

Alito and Thomas are both arrogant beyond belief and their comments were so nakedly pro-Trump I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Nowhere in the Constitution is there any mention of the concept of presidential immunity and their arguging that, because trump is facing criminal trials, they need to make up some method to help him avoid these consequences. the false equivalencies they deploy are equally flawed.

Agree! It is horrible! Scotus =self preservation first, protecting their preferred prez second, Country dead last. 😡 😢 I think the not-so-supreme court is doing several things... 1. They are twisting themselves into knots to assist trump and STALL. 2. They are causing a delay such that some of trump's trials cannot/will not occur before the 2024 election. 3. By not handing down a decision before the prez election, they are rolling the dice to see which candidate wins. 4. If Biden wins, they will rule against immunity because they don't want anyone that is not trump to have immunity. They will TRY to pass this off as being non-partisan in an effort to regain some of the credibility they have lost (don't be fooled! It would be just a BS show, until the next R is elected). 5. If trump wins, only then will they grant prez immunity to forever protect their favored prez. This tactic is a win-win for the scotus first and foremost, because unfortunately, that is ALL they care about first. Promoting/protecting/saving an R pres is secondary.

As a constitutional lawyer, other than in “failed states” or dictatorships, I have never seen a more partisan Court than the current US Supreme Court. The only way to fix this is to change the constitution to set term limits for judges as we have in Australia and remove the political system for the appointment of judges. There is no separation of powers if the judges are appointed based on their political affiliations or philosophies. Judges should be appointed on their legal acumen and experience not based on which political party they are registered to. Only then will you minimise, or avoid altogether, the bias towards either a right- or left-wing leaning Court.
