Let me tell you how I see the Supreme Court’s ruling on Presidential Immunity published July 1, 2024. The ruling contains the seeds of disaster for the Government of the United States. Immunity for Official Acts of the President is considered absolute. Immunity for Official Acts was implicitly assumed in our government from the beginning. However, the wording of the finding does not limit the realm of Official Acts and includes actions which are presumptively Official. The wording does not permit the consideration of motive or intent. The wording, in present conservative interpretation, would allow directing the Attorney General to ignore or postpone a suit brought against the actions of the President or his Executive Staff. Recent history has shown us instances when a President of The United States attempted change the outcome of normal elections. Some of the actions were in direct contradiction of established democratic procedure. I will not Vote for Mr. Trump

Sounds like the true fascists are revealing their nature. It's interesting where your minds immediately go to when you think you have carte blanche...

[@tersta1]

Oh, you do have a point. I've been telling people that all officials have legal immunity. It is somewhat implied in the US constitution (re: "They (senators and congressmen) shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest...") and the constitutions of states, counties, other countries have similar weasel words. Officials have given themselves legal immunity and we all just have to trust that they won't act in self-interest, but will execute their duties of office in service to the interests of the public. BUT, they are not obligated to, nor bound with punishment should they fail to perform their duties. So, here we are, the court rules that Trump has... oh, not just OFFICIAL IMMUNITY, but ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY. That's an extension of the law that applies to court officials. I have no skin in the game. I know that US presidents are selected, not elected. Otherwise, I'd be wondering if Biden's people would take advantage of their official immunity and eliminate the competition. ---- ChatGPT: In the context of immunity in the US legal system, there are several concepts that are important to understand: 1. **Absolute Immunity**: Absolute immunity provides complete protection from civil or criminal liability for certain government officials or individuals in certain roles, even if their actions are unlawful or harmful. This type of immunity is typically granted to judges, legislators, and prosecutors when they are performing their official duties. It ensures that these officials can perform their roles without fear of being sued or prosecuted. 2. **Qualified Immunity**: Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that shields government officials from civil liability when performing discretionary functions, as long as their actions do not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known. This doctrine aims to strike a balance between protecting government officials from frivolous lawsuits and holding them accountable for unlawful conduct. 3. **Sovereign Immunity**: Sovereign immunity refers to the principle that the government cannot be sued without its consent. It stems from the idea that the government is immune from lawsuits that would interfere with its ability to govern. Sovereign immunity can vary between federal and state governments, with some states waiving sovereign immunity in certain circumstances through legislation. 4. **Official Immunity**: Official immunity is similar to qualified immunity but applies to state and local officials rather than federal officials. It protects these officials from civil liability for discretionary acts performed within the scope of their authority, provided they do not violate clearly established constitutional rights. These levels of immunity are crucial in balancing the need for government officials to perform their duties effectively and without fear of personal liability, while also ensuring accountability and protection of individuals' rights. The scope and application of these immunities can vary based on specific laws, court interpretations, and the context in which the government official is acting. ----

[@stevensanto5934]

@@martynaustin8073 I guess he'd start crying foul... Like a fool. Thankfully this doesn't actually give Trump immunity from ANY of the cases against him. There may be a couple hiccups in them, but it just means some extra leg work for prosecutors. If you don't know what i'm talking about, then you don't know the difference between official acts and non official acts of office.

A democracy matters and a vote blue hashtag makes you completely moronic. The democratic party, when Trump first ran as a republican, tried to impeach, imprison, incriminate and even take Trump off voting ballots in those blue states. For you to use a democracy matters while team slow Biden was trying to get rid of his political opposition, is nothing short of retarded.
