15. To Me, Presidential Immunity

means the President can do what he wants and is free to make the country over in his own image. It would be the end of the US as we know it. There is no US law that would restrain him. I'm assuming they won't (or can't) make him immune to international law, but nothing surprises me these days. I HAVE to believe they aren't stupid enough to do this, but I'm on record as stating that no SC would order that vote counting in a Presidential election be stopped, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

They have. They'll run this like Bush v Gore -- a ruling for "just this one case." So it wouldn't apply to Biden. ancianita Mar 2024 #6

No maybe needed. The court has already established the "one time ruling for one case" precedent. ancianita Mar 2024 #11
