Sotomayor says the president can now 'assassinate a political rival' without facing prosecution

[christiefan915]

She never ceases to amaze me with her glaring ignorance. Dumbest justice ever.

Dumbest justice ever would be Thomas. Also the crookedest.

Yes.

 

[christiefan915]

She is smarter than you.

By orders of magnitude.

 

[christiefan915]

LOL

You brag about posting the decision, but you don’t know shit about its contents.

Typical Trumptard. All hat, no cowboy.

I'm betting he didn't actually read the dissent and is just parroting magat talking points.

 

[evince]

so who has the totalitarian impulses?

You will just have to wait and see huh

 

[Into the Night]

The clear difference is the Supreme's decision will be meaningful if the unevolved asshole gets in power again. Biden does not have the desire to punish people who disagree with him or his policies.

Blatant lie.

He is governing as previous presidents have.

Blatant lie. Biden is not President.

Trump is foaming at the mouth to get immunity from his childish angry actions.

Blatant lie.

He has stated in the past that he will go after the people who were against him and people who are in his mind, insufficiently loyal.

Good.

He will pardon the valuable ones who are being punished for breaking laws.

They didn't break any law.

Most will be ignored. He does not care about anyone but himself.

Blatant lie.

You better stay loyal.

To the Constitution, absolutely! To Trump that supports it? Absolutely!

Trump could have taken a lot of problems away by helping Cohen.

What problems?

He could have paid for his lawyers or pardoned him. Trump's miscalculation was that he was no longer useful.

Blatant lie.

People put in prison for 5 years for "trespassing?"

Trespass into the White House, and you will be lucky to live to see 5+ years in prison.

Your Brown Shirts rushed the White House after setting St. John historic church on fire and tearing down statues of Lincoln and Jefferson.

You defended them and praised their actions. Obviously they were not prosecuted.

Party matters - in law, party is the most critical thing.

St John's is still standing. It was not burned down. trump did use the National Guard to seize it from its clergy for a photo op, but then he returned it to the clergy.

Sotomayor: President can assassinate political rival with immunity

The liberal Supreme Court justice issued a blistering dissent to the conservative majority's ruling that presidents have immunity for official acts.

www.businessinsider.com

• The Supreme Court ruled that presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for all official acts.
• Justice Sotomayor said in a dissenting opinion that the ruling was far too broad.
• "Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune," she wrote.

That has to be the most stupid and ignorant statement a Supreme Court justice ever made.

It is further evidence of why one does not put low IQ DEI candidates on the Supreme Court.

 

[Truth Detector]

This decision leaves it up to the President when an assassination is official act or private decision.

No, it doesn't. And if you weren't an uneducated moron, you would be embarrassed saying such stupid shit.

 

[Truth Detector]

Noticed you didn’t offer anything in rebuttal other than expressing your personal views on the Justices

I notice that you never say anything that is intelligent or has substance.

 

[Truth Detector]

Taking trump out would be good for america? If you say so.

Uttered like an ignorant little fascist.

 

[Truth Detector]

Biden may want to take this under advisement as the election approaches. For the good of the country, you know.

 

[Concart]

Perhaps the most insidious part of the disastrous SCOTUS ruling is that they have ruled that motive cannot be used as evidence of a crime. So of course a President could order the military to assassinate a political rival. Biden could have Trump assassinated and claim it was an act within his constitutional official duties as commander and chief, and that the action was taken to eliminate an existential threat to democracy. If you can show me in the ruling where that scenario is subject to prosecution, please feel free to do so.

 

[Truth Detector]

Biden now could officially tax the churches. Amazing!

No, he can't. It's true what they say about people like you. The stupid don't know they are stupid.

Whether an act is presidential and beyond the courts is a matter of opinion. This crazy decision has to go to the courts to define its parameters. Trump will have to do something bad, and he will. We know Trump will view everything like Nixon did "If the president does it, it is legal? Trump is the worst person to get that immunity. It is like his grievous misuse of the pardoning powers. If Trump wins, America may never go back to 2 equal branches.

Actually, if a President exercises any official duty enumerated in the Constitution he/she has absolute immunity. Other official acts can be reviewed by the courts, but a constitutionally mandated power (i.e. Commander in Chief), has absolute immunity, regardless of the motive. Obviously, the President could still be impeached, but he could not be prosecuted. There were three categories of actions, and the first one, the one I'm speaking of, if absolute.

All depends on HOW one describes the official act.
