In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled July 1 in Trump v. United States that presidents are immune from prosecution for any presumably “official” act taken while in office, including criminal acts. Some legal experts and liberal justices were “horrified” by the opinion and warned of grave consequences, while Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion, asserted that “core” presidential powers are totally immune from prosecution.

Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker defends the majority opinion and warns about the potential harm to the Supreme Court if Biden wins reelection.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

Reeling from a debate in which he lost his train of thought several times and looked like a deer in the headlights, President Biden and his political handlers were desperate to change the subject. When the Supreme Court handed down their decision that presidents have legal immunity for their official actions, but not private actions, Biden and his team recklessly argued that the court had given the president license to do all kinds of horrible things.

Biden’s ultra-liberal nominee to the high court, who previously couldn’t tell senators the difference between a man and a woman, argued that the president could poison a cabinet secretary rather than just remove him or her from office. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor alleged that a president could direct SEAL Team Six to murder a political opponent.

In the court’s majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked such irresponsible fearmongering. The dissents, in his words, “strike a tone of chilling doom that is wholly disproportionate to what the Court [actually] does today.” Roberts also said, “Coming up short on reasoning, the dissents repeatedly level variations of the accusations that the Court has rendered the president above the law.”

In the courts majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked such irresponsible fear mongering. The dissents in his words strike a tone of chilling doom. That is wholly disproportionate to what the court does today. In quote, Roberts also said in quotes coming up short on reasoning, the dissents repeatedly level variations of the accusations that the court has rendered the president above the law. In quote, Roberts further stated that the positions espoused by the far left justices have another quote, boiled down to ignoring the Constitution’s separation of powers and the courts precedence and instead fear mongering on the basis of extreme hypotheticals in quote, pointing to the liberal justices opinions to give their reckless arguments a thin veneer of credibility. Biden, Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and all their allies on liberal TVs, they went on liberal TV networks to overdrive, about this topic, and they started attacking the courts and whipping up fear, especially among their liberal base and viewers. Ironically, Biden’s politically motivated attack on the court threatens to undermine our third branch of government, which is supposed to be immune from political pressure and threats from ideological activists. To borrow a phrase from him his own rhetorical arsenal. Biden’s reckless fear mongering is a threat to democracy and the rule of law. Another the Supreme Court’s decisions this season, limited the ability of federal agencies to impose policies that have not been authorized by Congress. If Biden Harris wins reelection with a liberal Congress, they will use their hysteria to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices. You can believe that and they will be the ones to create a government that will truly threaten our rights and freedom. The stakes in this election could not be higher.
