I don't see why the left is furious over this ruling. They view it through the prism of Trump, but the ruling applies to all Presidents, past and present. It protects the President from frivolous prosecutions while leaving the door open for action if they engage in illegal unofficial acts. So what's the problem? This is not a win for one person; it's a win for the Constitution and the American people. Yes, it gives power to lawyers and judges to determine now and in the future what official acts are or are not, which could be dicey. But it's not a win for the right or the left. It's not blanket immunity and does not expose the President, including Biden, to frivolous prosecutions. So I don't get it. He must be reading the PPP reactions. .

More good news. I hope Tibs doesn't see this VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE FROM ANOTHER DNC HOUSE ORGAN: Biden Loses the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and That’s Bad News From Georgia. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/07/01/biden-loses-the-atlanta-journal-constitution-and-thats-bad-news-from-georgia-n3791206

You're wasting your time Tom. Anyone stupid enough to sat "the Supreme Court is bought" after seeing the diverse number of opinions over the past two weeks , is beyond reason. .

THIS IS WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE.

Nonpartisan Patriot Polling showed 44% of registered voters were planning to cast a ballot for Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, over 41% who were backing Biden, a Democrat. Slightly more than 11% supported independent Robert Kennedy and 4% were unsure. The results show that Trump has doubled his lead since the organization’s last poll in February. https://www.al.com/news/2024/07/biden-vs-trump-latest-presidential-polls-who-is-winning-now-trump-vs-kamala-harris-others.html Biden is still favored to win the popular vote between 2AM and 3AM however. .

BIDEN MAKES A GOOD POINT By john Hindraker Well, not Biden. But someone on his staff. You probably have at least read about the Biden campaign’s “bedwetting brigade” memo, but it is worth a serious look. It argues, more cogently than Joe Biden ever could, that Democratic voters are stuck with Biden and they’d better get used to it: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/07/biden-makes-a-good-point.php

"Dangerous minority of far-right voters capture a large majority of votes" LOL. The media spin is nothing if not consistent. .

If you would READ before you blindly answer. You would see that that is exactly why the court sent the case back down It is not up to you or I to decide .

THIS ISN’T SHOCKING AT ALL: Democrat Voters Are Making a Shocking Admission. What Does it Mean for the Trump Campaign? “Ordinary Democrat voters themselves are now dropping all pretense of caring about the candidate and admitting they’re voting for the machine.” https://pjmedia.com/athena-thorne/2024/06/30/democrat-voters-are-making-a-shocking-admission-what-does-it-mean-for-the-trump-campaign-n4930279 But no, BIDEN will NOT win the popular vote anyway. .

Back to the thread: In a 6-3 ruling, the Court held that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers. Further, former presidents are also entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts. However, there is no immunity for unofficial acts. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2024/07/01/breaking-supreme-court-rules-on-presidential-immunity-n2175982 The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that former President Donald Trump is immune from federal prosecution for some official acts he took while in office, in split 6-3 ruling. However, the court ruled that there is no immunity for unofficial acts. "Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion. This ruling may undermine Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against Trump, in Washington, D.C., for his actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and will likely cause further delays as the lower court will now have to determine which acts alleged in his indictment constitute official or private acts before the case can move forward.

.

Justice Thomas: "In this case, there has been much discussion about ensuring that a President 'is not above the law.' But, as the Court explains, the President’s immunity from prosecution for his official acts is the law... Respecting the protections that the Constitution provides for the Office of the Presidency secures liberty. In that same vein, the Constitution also secures liberty by separating the powers to create and fill offices. And, there are serious questions whether the Attorney General has violated that structure by creating an office of the Special Counsel that has not been established by law. Those questions must be answered before this prosecution can proceed. We must respect the Constitution’s separation of powers in all its forms, else we risk rendering its protection of liberty a parchment guarantee."

He has, whether you turn a blind eye or not
