If SCOTUS rules Presidents have immunity from prosecution

[Funtatlaguy]

What’s to stop Biden from doing anything he wants.

[Conjuay]

1. His morality

Intelligence
Compassion
I guess I don't understand the question

[Funtatlaguy]

5. Just a goose gander statement. If Trump is immune, all are.

2. SCOTUS could make the ruling narrow

limiting its scope to free speech aspects, or to Trump himself, or to events in Washington DC.

6. 2000 Redux

“We of the majority are of the opinion that Donald Trump merits an exception of the laws which govern the rest of Humanity.”

[Mr.WeRP]

12. Two states are already ignoring Supreme Court rulings.

If they do this or overturn the Colorado DQ of Trump, expect more of this. To me it seems the court is hell bent on delegitimizing itself.

15. +1. Blue jurisdictions should start ignoring stuff coming out of the Supreme Whorehouse

[Igel]

16. Or their actual statement.

The Special Counsel’s request to treat the stay application as a petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, and that petition is granted limited tothe following question: Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.

Emphasis is mine.

3. The same things that have always kept presidents from doing whatever they want

Presidents DO enjoy absolute immunity. That isn’t a new thing.

4. Someone

Perhaps a Former Prosecutor whose mentor and boss is a former Defense Attorney needs to integrate that into her stump speeches.

Especially because there are assholes in America who have a racist sexist fear about her becoming the President should her boss die in office.

7. His decency. But you can bet your house the next republiQan won't have any.

A decision that he has immunity would be disastrous and moronic. But those six idiots are capable of anything.

So we wait and see. Once again.

[MOMFUDSKI]

8. It isn't about immunity.

It is about stalling.

[Chainfire]

9. It is such an important issue, that I can see them taking a year to mull it over.

That they decided to take it up speaks volumes of their motives.

[Bettie]

10. They won't rule that "Presidents" have immunity

they may rule that ONE GUY has eternal immunity because he was president. You know, like they gifted the presidency to one particular guy in a "narrow ruling".

Yes, I know, they aren't supposed to make rulings for one individual, but should they do so, there is no recourse...they do whatever they want to because, as we've discovered with so many situations, the founders never imagined the level of corruption we see now.

11. trDUMP 2.0 who shows up sometime in the near future is the real concern/threat.

A unitary Presidency in the hands of someone as Donald J. trDUMP is a very scary thing.

13. SCOTUS could leave it to Congress to take action

The House can indict/file articles of impeachment and the Senate could convict.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. That's why they won't. Nt
