Liberals stir fear over Supreme Court immunity decision


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.

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.”
