Roger Stone comes to mind.I think that its a slippery slope, for it the President is immune, then surely his 'instruments' aka his goons are immune as well?
The ruling is very clearly specific to the president alone so no, his goons are not immune.Roger Stone comes to mind.
Shit
God damn timeline. Who wrote this simulation anyway I need to have words with the dev.I really don’t like Nazi comparisons however holy crap I remember learning about this in History class.

So it's up to the lower courts to determine what is an official act and what is an act as a private citizen? If Trump doesn't like how the court classifies his actions on Jan 6th, can he appeal that to the Supreme Court too?
I don’t think these distinctions are relevant anymore as to me we are pretty clearly in a post law situation. It’s funny and sad to me to see people try and parse this decision and determine the best legal path forward when the decision itself basically throws the law out the window.Presumably if a judge seems inclined to declare something isn't an 'official act', the President can "officially act" to have that judge arrested or shot or something? Then keep going till he finds one prepared to declare all the previous actions official?
In your opinion, how often does Trump tell the truth vs lie?Trump Said: "After that, I'm not a dictator.'”
Being honest I do believe many P&N posters are in jeopardy *if* the former President becomes President again.No surprise how Trump intends to use this lawlessness.
Military tribunals for civilians who do not bow to tyranny.
I repeat, Julius Caesar has crossed the Rubicon.

Don’t pardon YOU, pardon Harris after she carries out the coup!Pardon me?

Americans are too ignorant to understand the ramifications.I'm from Australia, but I would like to offer my understanding and support for America undergoing a transition to a Monarchy.
Its not that bad.
A little extra pomp and ceremony here and there. A few more entries in the gossip mags. A slightly thicker skin on your forehead as you salute your betters. And a love of Corgi's ofcause.
They just played Biden's response on Australian TV. Sleepy Joe vs Emperor Trump... easy choice in the end. Trump might see it as a win now, but I think it will bite him at the election.
I don't see a path out of this. I mean, how do you overturn a SCOTUS ruling?I don’t think these distinctions are relevant anymore as to me we are pretty clearly in a post law situation.

I still think Trump loses the election, but that doesn't mean everything goes back to normal. We can't keep Republicans out of the WH forever.You ignore it, like FDR threatened.
Or, in this case, you have to say "ok, i'm gonna use these new found powers that you've granted me (Biden) and embrace the Dark Brandon". Which won't happen, so we're probably fucked unless Trump somehow loses the election.
This the only long term fight is to flip the court by any means necessary and enact real reforms.I still think Trump loses the election, but that doesn't mean everything goes back to normal. We can't keep Republicans out of the WH forever.
Pretend we flip the court. How do you go about reversing this decision? You'd have to tear up The Constitution and start over.This the only long term fight is to flip the court by any means necessary and enact real reforms.
The court’s decision isn’t rooted in the Constitution.Pretend we flip the court. How do you go about reversing this decision? You'd have to tear up The Constitution and start over.
It's hard for me to see a path out of this that isn't pretty dark, I agree. As mentioned the real answer is most likely to ignore it.I don't see a path out of this. I mean, how do you overturn a SCOTUS ruling?
You now have a court that follows the constitution, and it reverses the prior unconstitutional decisions as cases come up -- e.g. Trump's appeal that certain aspects of his conduct were official business, then the new Supreme Court can obliterate the prior decision.Pretend we flip the court. How do you go about reversing this decision? You'd have to tear up The Constitution and start over.
And at least Germany had the excuse of being in a massive depression with insane inflation. We are going to be the first country to vote in a dictatorship in the middle of prosperity.I really don’t like Nazi comparisons however holy crap I remember learning about this in History class.
