For reference: England was a democracy in 1776 as we had our first democratic election in 1685. Absolute power was removed from King John five hundred years earlier. We also made the King almost powerless after the English Civil War in the mid seventeenth century. So, you got independence from a democracy to build an absolute monarchy. Well done!

Is Scotus above the law?

[@robertmiskey5502]

Right now? YES

[@nomore6167]

"Is Scotus above the law?" - Yes. That's not a flippant answer; it's a fact. Think about it. If the Supreme Court (or one of its "Justices") violates the law and is prosecuted and then convicted by a jury, they will appeal the case all the way to the Supreme Court, and which way do you think the Supreme Court will rule when it is the one filing the appeal? With regard to their rulings, yes, those are above the law, too, even when those rulings are blatantly unconstitutional, because there is nobody to whom those rulings can be appealed.

There is no legal way to fix the United States (at least not within the next 20+ years, and likely not ever). When the Supreme Court's ruling is explicitly contrary to the Constitution, there is nobody to whom that ruling can be appealed. There are supposed to be three equal branches of government, but the Supreme Court has ruled that the President is superior to everything, and the Supreme Court is superior to Congress (can override constitutionally-sound, unambiguous laws).

[@sushibar777]

The Roberts Court is corrupt, at least the six MAGAts are. This ruling was absolutely unnecessary. In fact, the case itself was absolutely unnecessary for the court to take up. The trial court and appeals court had ruled on the matter, with the appeals court issuing a very well reasoned opinion. The Supreme Court could have let this go to trial. Then if Trump was convicted he could appeal on whatever grounds he wanted, including supposed, really made-up, immunities. The appeals courts and Supreme Court could then evaluate those appeals. The country went through 44 previous presidents over 230 years since the ratification of the Constitution, without there being any issues about presidents being criminally charged by their successors for political reasons. Even in the case of Nixon, had he been charged with crimes it would have been by a DOJ under a Republican president, who had been Vice President picked by Nixon himself. The Constitution specifies certain immunities for members of Congress and the President. It does not grant the President any sort of immunity like those granted by Roberts and his cronies. Hamilton in Federalist No. 69 explicitly states that a former president is subject to the courts. The Framers were gravely concerned that a President would become a tyrant, and sought to limit his powers to help prevent that. Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearings said explicitly that no one is above the law, including the President. Looks like that was a lie of convenience. Mitch McConnell, for what little his word is worth, said that Trump was subject to the law. SCOTUS is as a matter of practice supposed to be as minimalist and targeted in its rulings as possible. This was not that. It actually gave Trump immunities beyond those his lawyers even asked for. The damage to the country and the rule of law from this could be fatal to democracy in America.
