Donald Trump Hails Supreme Court Immunity Ruling
Ruling targets indictments against former president – and the special prosecutor tasked with pursuing them.

Sotomayor isn’t long for this world, she wasn’t exactly the picture of health when appointed, she looks worse in every new picture. The next president will likely appoint at least two new justices during his term, one on each side. It’s easy to see that a 7-2 Supreme Court soon.
“It’s easy to see that a 7-2 Supreme Court soon.”
This isn’t a good thing bub, regardless of which party would control it.
It is a truly unbelievably powerful ruling in the hands of someone who may desire the status of dictator on day one. Especially someone who has a cult following in Congress who would never impeach, even if he murdered a person in Times Square.
I have long been an admirer of the Sup. Court; thinking it our best hope for the survival of a free society based on law and equal justice. I thought our nation was strong enough to survive even the likes of DJT. But I am no longer confident of that. Republicans have destroyed the independence of the SCOTUS. From the corruption and bribe-taking by Alito and Thomas and their transparent lies to the feckless administration of Roberts they simply no longer carry any moral authority. They are now just a tool of the billionaire class, with their only real power, respect, thrown in the trash.
I weep for our beloved America. The great American experiment, probably just ended at the hands of the very type of person the founders feared most. A tyrant who would be king of us all.

You should really fact check your accusations against Thomas…
“They are now just a tool of the billionaire class”
Always has been. ????????
I think Dred Scott v Sandford should have taught everyone in the modern age not to trust the court to uphold any sort of morality or protection of the common man. That being said, Citizens United should’ve told everyone what the ultimate goal of the court was going to be once conservatives got enough complicit justices in there. The rulings this time around were big ones though. Ethics means nothing. Precedent means nothing. Law means nothing.
Fascism is just end stage capitalism. The train was always heading towards this destination.
Wonder what President Biden will do with his new powers?
It would be a shame if more MAGA criminals became lost in the vast judicial and prison apparatus. They are acting against the government and executive branch. Surely making sure that domestic terrorists (oops, Biden can just declare all MAGA enemies of the state, which clearly they are) and have them imprisoned or eliminated.
Not sure why the SCOTUS just gave Biden the power of a King, but here we are people. When you start freaking out over what Biden is up to, blame Trump and his good buddies on the Court ;-)
Queen Kamala has a ring to it!
Joe could just step aside and hand the keys to our country’s first Black Queen!
I’m sure she could have A LOT of fun with all that power the SCOTUS just handed to Democrats.
Two things:
Joe Biden fairly recently mentioned his friendship with Mitch McConnell during a speech.
Lindsey Graham, who less than a mere 10 years ago got teary eyed in an interview talking about how Joe Biden was such a good person, is now openly salivating at the idea of retribution against his former friend.
Democrats will not fire the first shot. They still think they can come to the table with the other side and have 100% civility and decorum, find compromise and bipartisanship, and somehow end the perpetual gridlock of Congress. They think the other aisle simply disagrees with them. There is a clear and present danger staring them and the country in the face, but they haven’t even identified it as such. Biden’s response to this? “I dissent! Vote for me!”
It’s like a child fell into the polar bear exhibit at the zoo. Someone tell Joe the cute fuzzy bear doesn’t want a hug.
That would be “campaign conduct” and not “official conduct”.
Phew! I thought I misplaced my fiddle!
