Is it possible that the Supreme Court conspired with Donald Trump and Steve Bannon...? [View all]

...to come up with their ruling on "absolute immunity"?

Because it sounded like something that Steve Bannon would write. And because it sounds very much like the right wing plan in Project 2025.

And because Steve Bannon was so certain that he would not go to prison. Why did he think that?

And the bounds that all of them went to protect Donald Trump and their plan to demolish the "administrative state". I could see how all six of the radical Justices, including John Roberts, would think that was a good idea.

And how they were willing to misinterpret the Constitution in order to rule that Trump had special immunity and could not go to jail. They even built in the safeguard where each specific charge against the President could be appealed to the Supreme Court and they would be the final arbiter.

The ruling yesterday was one of the most partisan rulings I have ever seen or read about in my many years.

I get the feeling that the Trump/Bannon agenda is the same as the Thomas/Alito agenda of the radical Supreme Court. They are all on board.
