Here is my take on the SCOTUS decision on presidential immunity:
This is the worst judicial decision since Dred Scott.
I’ve scanned it through now, and this is a preliminary judgment, but the bottom line as I see it is: 1. that when the American hands the presidency to an individual, it also hands that person immunity for any constitutionally designated action, and 2. that it also must give the president the presumption of immunity for any other action connected with the performance of the office, 3. that there is no immunity for actions taken for private ends, and 4. that there is virtually no admissible evidence that can show a president is acting for private ends.
Many commentators are saying that this does not make the president a king.
They are wrong. The combination of the four points mentioned above makes it impossible in practice to prosecute a president for anything.
So, as far as the law is now concerned, an American president must be presumed to be acting legally no matter what he does.
That makes the law an ass.
And it makes America a “conservative” paradise.
And it makes America an actual hell.
We have only one more chance to stop this by wiping the Republican party off the political map in November, and, unfortunately, Joe Biden and his team have made this much, much more difficult.
It is vain to hope that the indecent minority will ever see the light. So it is up to us decent Americans to work harder than ever before to save American democracy this November.
The last best hope of mankind is gasping for breath today.
We are now doomed for whatever actions a US president takes and the highest court has opened the doors to all future US presidents for doing so.
And Democrats in true tradition will form a circle and ride the Biden Train of Death into the sunset…
