As expected, the lawyers representing Donald Trump have asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the DC appellate court decision on presidential immunity. [SEE pdf Here]
At the heart of the matter is really the intersection of politics and a weaponized judiciary. If presidents do not have absolute immunity while in office, then their political opposition can just threaten to file charges against them once their term expires. The obvious problems are easy to see.
WASHINGTON DC – Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Monday to block a lower court’s ruling that he is not immune from criminal charges stemming from his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
The 39-page motion puts the fate of his criminal case in Washington, D.C. squarely in the hands of the nine justices, three of whom he nominated.
[…] Trump’s new filing at the Supreme Court also asks for a step that could produce additional delay. He requests that the justices grant a stay and hold off on further action on the immunity issue until the D.C. Circuit decides whether to reconsider the immunity claim in front of that court’s full 11-judge bench. Such “en banc” rehearings are rare, but formal action on Trump’s request for one could take weeks, particularly if any members of the appeals court wish to file an opinion or opinions disagreeing with their colleagues.
“Allowing President Trump to pursue en banc review in the D.C. Circuit will provide an opportunity for … thoughtful consideration in the lower court before this Court addresses the novel, complex, and momentous issues at stake in this appeal,” Trump’s attorneys wrote. (Read more)
President Trump is am amazing man. I can’t begin to imagine what he is going through.
Yet, he is the kind of guy that thrives on adversity and risk taking. He is old school with a strong spine.
I pray for him all the time. We need him to save our country.
Trump 2024
I believe there has never been a president with the power of prayer directed at him with the global force of millions who wish him safe and successful. He has a mission. It is our mission. God bless this man. He was chosen for this time. God bless people of faith — everywhere! 🙏♥️
Trump is on par with Lincoln and Washington, one of the greatest
Amen
agree. in my mind he is one of the great patriots of the USA. who, with his money, would put up with this crap. I truly believe he is dedicated to the USA. He is taking physical risks, legal risks, reputation risks. and for what/whom? us. He may not be a founding father but surely a re-founding one.
I always wondered why there was a spot left on Mt. Rushmore. They knew someone would be worthy down the line.
A “re-founding” father”… WELL SAID!!!
It’s time that SCOTUS gets some backbone and finally deals with this issue.
A court where D.I.E. has replaced justice has no backbone; it’s all about feelings, perspectives, and mind reading – no facts needed.
The SCOTUS has curvature of the spine to wiggle around the issues……..they can not stand upright, that’s why they are seated.
God Help US
But this time the only wiggle room they have is to allow the D.C. Court of Appeals time for their en banc review. Either way the Appeals court rules, it’s going to end up in their lap as the loser will appeal, but it does buy time so that the Court can wait until after the election to issue their final ruling. As long as they can keep the issue bottled up in appeals for a little while longer, they won’t have to decide until after the election as first arguments for any cases they do take won’t happen until October, and if they are smart, they’ll postpone the arguments until after the first Tuesday in November. They will probably have the excuse that they will be dealing with a whole bunch of disputes over election integrity at that time.
More distractions on our way to CBDC and the electronic prison. Friends, you can’t fix a corrupt system by voting/working inside a corrupt system. Do not comply.
They try to stay clear of “political” cases in the latter part of election years. This year, I don’t think they can evade it.
We should be looking for justices who are principled, truly have judicial wherewithal reasoning & wisdom, as well as intelligence. In retrospect, our President & Senate have looked for candidates who check a box politically more than judicial qualifications. Gorsuch, in my mind, was Trump”s best pick. The other 2 seem adrift in the ways of Chief Justice Roberts.
Add courage. Without it, the other virtues will seldom or never be used, certainly not in these times.
If the day were to come, Trump was not immune; every past President, still alive, is actually guilty of crimes where people died.
Get the indictments ready.
Like Obama, who committed murder against US citizens with drone attacks
I’m sure we have only to scratch the surface in that one’s case to find a whole plethora of high crimes and misdemeanors.
So far, as I have been shown and seen by their actions, they have no lawful (constitutional) authority as they have all committed treason.
No courts or judges from any corner of the country have called out the open acts of treason by this fraudulent* government.
They are all guilty and have all lost constitutional authority and can be ignored forthwith.
And as they have committed treason, they have committed direct acts of war against the USA, it’s constitutions, and it’s citizens.
Anyone that certified the election committed treason and those that support and continue on are in constant state of committing treason.
There is no lawful politician or government agency in these United States that are lawful and not compromised by their conspiracy of treason.
DO NOT COMPLY, especially with fraudulent traitors in need off Summary removal processes as required by the constitution and many of our citizens sworn oaths.
Your little diatribe is chock full of misuse of the word “treason” and by such frequent misuse/abuse, you destroy any credibility.
TREASON is defined legally as giving aid or comfort to a DECLARED enemy.
As Congress hasn’t issued a Declaration of War in many years,…we have no Declared enemy, hence there can be no traitorous acts.
Its why Hanoi Jane was never prosecuted.
Lots of people use “traitor” when they MEAN betrayer, but just because lots of people do it, doesn’t make it right.
Treason is a government employee, such as politician, breaking their sworn oath of office to UPHOLD and PROTECT the USA Constitution.
That is EVERY politician in Congress and the states that have caused and allowed the destruction of the USA and it’s constitution.
Fact.
“They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means anyone, even the governor and President.”
Your understanding is flawed or obfuscation of criminal activity that is treason and conspiracy of treason.
How can they commit these crimes and be NOT GUILTY?
They can’t, and THAT IS TREASON!
As for Congress actually declaring a war …
Bad memories.
War on
POVERTY
DRUGS
TERROR
BUT!!!
When they break their oath they commit a direct act of WAR against the USA, the citizenry, and the constitution.
As Congress is supposed to call out treason, which with millions of hours of video, audio, and legislation as evidence, they have failed their duty and are also conspirators in treason.
So, when someone commits and acts of war against the USA and they are a politician or government agent, they commit treason, period.
The Dems are already working to impeach Trump in his next term if he cuts Ukraine spending.
Never happen its unconstitutional my opinion.
I believe you are correct, however the constitution has been shat upon so often I no longer think it is readable.
And we were supposed to remove those criminals/traitors/conspirators permanently to avoid recidivism.
And people wonder what went wrong when they stopped doing their civic duties.
I might be wrong but I think that bill is too blatantly unconstitutional and will fail.
Please don’t leave out half of the Republicans in the Senate who joined them. You never know but it may have been the Republicans to introduce this.
The Dems and RINO’s put something in the Ukraine Foreign Wars Forever bill to make it so the next Pres can’t cut funding. Evil bastards.
Aka, their Deep State Permanent Rice Bowl Protection bill passed,…. cuz they couldn’t get their Permanent Border Invasion bill passed.
Par, for biznez as usual in Sodom & Gomorrah on the Potomac.
Not just the Senate Democrats.
50/50. The DOJ is captured especially the black robes…we’ll see.
The X-factor is, you’d think they would begin to fear us (the vast majority) more than them (a dwindling minority) beefed up by the invaders, who really have no real loyalty…we’ll see.
WE have given them no REASON to fear us.
“When the people fear the Gov.,….”
Good luck. I wish it was in the hands of fair and clear minded adjudicators but all I think about is Mary McCord’s connection to Roberts. God bless and protect President Trump.
The look in ACB’e eyes tell me she is from the devil.
Not just after the presidency.
They can extort a sitting president.
I am not well informed about the details of this case, but I can’t help but think it is an instance where the outcome is really meant to protect Joebama evil someday. It just looks like it could backfire big time.
If Trump did nothing wrong, the case should not be about ‘immunity’ but about innocence.
And that is what the Supreme Court has to weigh in their deliberations. If they say that a President can be criminally prosecuted for what they said or did while in office (other than a formal impeachment process), the GWB, BillyBob Clinton, Obama and Biden could all be prosecuted for whatever they said or did during their terms in office. Obama could be indicted and prosecuted over Fast and Furious, GWB over the statements on WMDs that Saddam Hussein had, BillyBob over perjury in his dalliance in the Oval Office with Ms. Lewinsky. And with that precedent, every one of the 9 justices could be criminally indicted over their decisions and opinions. They gotta add that to their deliberations.
Most likely, the statute of limitations would prevent all of the cases you address, except for the possible murder of a U.S. citizen by teh One.
It will cost millions to prove his innocence, and a trial will have an affect on the election.
I fear a civil war is becoming a more of reality .
As the divide between the legal citizens of the U S A !
The DOJ Court’s , Illegal aliens , the illegitimate POTUS and the drum beat of W W 3 .
I know why they are doing this, but I just don’t understand why this is being done.
Such a contradiction.
I don’t like the world as it is right now. Help me to restore the Country I grew up in so my grandchildren will enjoy the Rights, freedoms, privileges of our unique and wondrous Constitution! So my grandchildren will enjoy the Country I lived in as I grew up.
I am just feeling so helpless right now.
Pray, help others, get the word out as best you can of the corruption of the Biden Regime and the Cabal.
Help others doesn’t necessarily mean monetary-wise. 🥰
Can someone familiar with the law make a list of things Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden could be prosecuted for?
You got a year?
President Trump was still president when he was calling and trying to figure out what went wrong in Georgia and they are saying that he is not emmune from prosacution because he was trying to over throw the gov, but he was not doing any thing of the kind He was looking at the
states that he should have won and the two senators who should have won and yet, Biden was said to have won and that’s all he was trying to figure out and trying to get to the bottom of it, Ressenburger recorded his phone call and edited it to sound like President Trump did and said something wrong The truth about that phone call came out a long time ago, but no one will allow this case to be dropped however maybe now they will see some light of day if Willis is dropped from the DAs office She is the one who was going to get Trump.. nothing more nothing less
but most of these cases are falling apart and now its just a matter of trying to get to the bottom of what really happened Which they already know P.T won Georgia and won hands down not biden
I pray for him and his family daily hoping that it will help some I am grateful that he is still trying to become President but from the looks of things
the Rino’s in the Senate are trying to tie his hands in the future of his admin need to get rid of all the people who constantly vote for bad things to help other countries but never ours now there are between 12 and 16 and they should all be kicked to the curb.
I hope SCOTUS dumps it back on the circuit to make these lawfare judges reconsider what they are doing.
As I was reading the report, I was wondering why the words of the left, “subvert the election”, were being used to describe Trumps’s actions post election. I should have known it was extracted from a left wing rag, Politico.
I’m guessing SCOTUS will redefine presidential immunity by allowing High crimes to be pursued. Crimes like insurrection, which Trump was never charged with. This will end Smith’s cases, including Florida and Georgia.
The problem with that logic is Congress will simply redefine the word Insurrection.
The Constitution is clear on this. Charges can only come AFTER a successful Senate Conviction of an Impeached President. Remember, the President does not have to be in office to be Impeached.
I think it’s the “three of whom he nominated” that’s most concerning to me
Which are three that Mitch McConnell selected.
God, continue to bless this man of substance! We stand with him.
I watched “Judgement at Nuremberg” last night. Parallels are interesting. What the Nazis did to dissenters, the US government under Biden is proceeding in that direction.
As a senile old Aussie watching and reading, I have to ponder the question:
If the SC eventually rules that Pres. Trump does not/did not have immunity for official acts performed whilst he was President (and that that immunity continues after he leaves office), what happens to the immunity currently enjoyed by the legal fraternity, including the SC?
Would that not open an even larger can of worms?
Or am I completely missing some critical piece of information?
