‘Death squad ruling’: Maddow reacts to Supreme Court Trump immunity decision

Rachel Maddow on the Supreme Court's immunity decision: "This is a death squad ruling. This is a ruling that says that as long as you can construe it as an official or quasi-official act, you can do absolutely anything. Absolutely anything and never be held accountable, not only while you are president, but forever."

He got full immunity for exercises powers that are only given to the president. Commanding seal team six is a sole presidential prerogative. The nuke codes are a sole president prerogative. Watch what legal eagle said about this, he actually quotes the ruling, which is quite nice.

[@HoneyBeeCrafts]

@@robson1566 I’m so sorry, please forgive me.. I’ve only added these new channels since the debate.. who is legal eagle? Again I’m sorry, I’m not dumb, just way too new. Thank you in advance

[@robson1566]

@HoneyBeeCrafts oh no, you're not dumb, dude. I am also not sure what the whole thing means yet. Legal eagle is the name of the KZbin channel of an American lawyer here on KZbin. He explained the whole "absolute immunity for core function acts, presumed immunity for official acts and no immunity for unofficial acts". He also pointed out that this immunity means they can't be criminally liabel for these acts, but also that they cannot be used as evidence. Also, if a president's speech during his re-election campaign is considered an "official act" and thus presumed immune then almost everything is. So we'd end up with almost complete immunity in practice.

[@RedZeshinX]

He can't do that, there's a limit to the number of seats on the court and appointments are for life, the only way he could create a liberal majority is if they retire or die. It would be possible to expand the number of seats and set term limits, but it would require an act of congress, meaning Democrats would need to control both the presidency and a majority in Congress to ensure such a law passes (or somehow persuade enough Republicans to vote along with them, which is unlikely). Unfortunately given how successful Republicans have been at dividing and conquering America poisoning the well of democracy with rabid ideological tribalism, that kind of unified Democratic government is impossible for voters to create at this point. This may very well be the beginning of the end of democracy in America.

I am puzzled by statements that the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity is "binding for ever". Since this supreme court has already overturned several "binding" decisions like Roe V Wade, and others, why is this decision on immunity more binding than previous decisions?

[@dmmcbrid70]

Because this unethical court expects trump to be elected president, and the religious right to enact project 2025 upon his swearing in ceremony. Then he will, in fact, have absolute power and absolute immunity to do as he pleases for as long as he wants.

[@ralphhathaway-coley5460]

I assume they mean 'binding for ever' is so far as under no circumstances can a president be charged for anything, (if SCROTUS does not want them charged as they are the sole deciders as to where something counts as an 'official' act or not.) but as with previous decisions it can be overturned.

[@greghill7759]
