TFG's fighting like crazy to get his grievances list heard by the SCOTUS...

[allegorical oracle]

His intent to sue CNN covers his longtime grudge against having to prove malice in defamation cases. Now, he's pursuing presidential absolute immunity regarding speech in a fresh case filed Wednesday in the U.S. Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia circuit.

The brief argues that TFG's Jan. 6 Stop the Steal rally speech is protected by that absolute immunity because his statements were "on matters of public concern." (apologies for the source.)

1. Can we just lock the son of a bitch up already,

Damn....

[live love laugh]

2. "... matters of public concern" That's laughable.

3. This will backfire spectacularly. ROTFLMAO.

Please make this fool pay for everyone's legal expenses and then some.

4. As shitty as the SC has been lately...

They haven’t acted in FF45’s personal favor, at least….

7. but thomas and alito have fumed over libel reform...

They want to make it easier for individuals to sue news outlets and websites/bloggers for telling the truth.

With that done, media control is easy.

5. He still thinks they're his private attorneys and they're only there

to rule on his petty grievances. Stupid piece of shit.

6. His words were "Matters of public concern" Bullshit!

His lawyers argued:
"President Trump is shielded by absolute presidential immunity because his statements were on matters of public concern," his attorneys argued in the brief. "No amount of hyperbole about the violence of January 6, 2021, provides a basis for this Court to carve out an exception to the constitutional separation of powers."

Judge Amit Mehta ruled in February that Trump's Jan. 6 speech at the Ellipse near the South Lawn of the White House, as the 2020 election was being certified by Congress, was likely “words of incitement not protected by the First Amendment."

And if the following is true than the US is a sitting duck for dictators like tfg to take power. Allowing people in government freedom from that government's laws is asking for fascism.

"Trump's legal team argued in Wednesday's filing that impeachment is the only means of punishing a president for abuse and that attempts by Democrats and others to sue Trump after he emerged victorious in his impeachment trial are tantamount to "harassment."
