…“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”…
In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court of the United Stated ruled that presidents have “absolute immunity” for official “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.” [SEE RULING HERE] Also, “official acts” cannot be used as evidence against the president in a criminal case.
As expected, the high court instructed the lower trial courts to hold specific evidentiary hearings on each anti-Trump criminal count, and determine which counts, if any, related to official or unofficial acts.
The Supreme Court is essentially telling the lower courts to go back and look at each citation and review which claims are official acts and which claims related to unofficial acts. The Supreme Court ruled that presidents may not have immunity for non-official conduct. However, when the judicial review cannot differentiate, the court cannot look at motives for the decisions.
“In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives,” the Court ruled. “Whenever the President and Vice President discuss their official responsibilities, they engage in official conduct.”
“The indictment’s allegations that Trump attempted to pressure the Vice President to take particular acts in connection with his role at the certification proceeding thus involve official conduct, and Trump is at least presumptively immune from prosecution for such conduct,” the Court added.
“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts,” the Court concluded. “That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office.”
The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts could not be used as evidence of a crime.
“That proposal threatens to eviscerate the immunity we have recognized,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “It would permit a prosecutor to do indirectly what he cannot do directly — invite the jury to examine acts for which a President is immune from prosecution to nonetheless prove his liability on any charge.”
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the opinion for the majority. This ruling will certainly delay any further court action by Special Counsel Jack Smith during the DC Lawfare trial, until after the election in November.
The WASHINGTON POST is not happy…. “A few key points:
- The court ruled that Trump is absolutely immune from prosecution for any conduct “involving his discussions with Justice Department officials” — a significant segment of his federal indictment. For instance, this would seem to take off the table Trump’s interactions with Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, a key figure who has been indicted in Georgia alongside Trump, as well as other top Justice Department officials telling Trump his voter-fraud theories were wrong.
- It ruled that he is presumed immune from prosecution for pressuring then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the election on Jan. 6, 2021, because Trump’s acts “involve official conduct.” It said the burden is on the government to prove that prosecuting Trump for this wouldn’t “pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.”
- It left open the possibility that Trump can be prosecuted for other actions, particularly those with regard to people outside the executive branch and in the states. It ruled that “this alleged conduct cannot be neatly categorized as falling within a particular Presidential function.”
All of which means some of Trump’s conduct can still be prosecuted, but some cannot. And figuring out what can and cannot be is still to be determined.
The other crucial point is this: The court ruled not only that Trump can’t be prosecuted for certain conduct, but also that conduct for which he is immune can’t even be used as evidence against him. So, his interactions with Justice Department officials, for instance, can’t be used to establish a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election. (link)

The Rasta-Jamaican Bimbo, three Bimbo Appeals Court Judges and three Bimbo Bolsheviks on the Supreme Court all said that President Trump had ZERO IMMUNITY FOR ANYTHING…and they were all 100% Wrong!
Now, when President Trump’s AG prosecutes:
Biden
Garland
Smith
Weissmann
Eisen
Fani and boyfriend
Mershan
Rheinhardt
CoAngelo, etc…
You can guarantee that all seven Bimbos will rule that Presidents, Prosecutors and Judges have absolute immunity for everything!
And them who don’t know law or the Constitution should be immediately removed from any bench and disbarred.
“Whenever the President and Vice President discuss their official responsibilities, they engage in official conduct.”
Was withholding money to Ukraine until a prosecutor was fired, official, or not official?
Oh, GREAT QUESTION!!! I’d forgotten that!!!
I’ve thought about this a lot. I think it comes down to Obama. If Obama testifies that they thought the prosecutor was crooked and that he gave Joe direction to have him fired, then Joe Xiden would be off the hook.
Joe wasn’t President of the United States when he made the threat!
And, at that time, FJB was not the president, therefore no immunity.
And Justice Thomas in his opinion declared Smith to be “a private citizen with no authority to prosecute anyone.”
Hurrah!
If Smith was appointed illegally, he may have a big problem with his qualified immunity.
Smith wasn’t appointed legally before the Special Counsel law was never passed and the Independent Counsel law expired 20 years ago!
You forgot, Comey, Page, Mc Cabe, Brennan, Podesta, Yates and Monaco for sedition in attempting to perform a soft coup against a sitting President!
The list is too long. You would also have to include both Democrat and Republican members of Congress who assisted in the cover-up and at least tacitly allowed the corrupt and treasonous behavior. Particularly, those on the Senate Intel Committee. (as Sundance has often pointed out)
Wouldn’t a coup be covered by a military court?
You’re right! 😉
Your Band of Bimbos is all akimbo in the Land of Limbo.
Also in the Land of Limbaugh!
Rest in the Vine: Rush Limbaugh III, 1951-2021 Rest in Peace

I doubt that he wanted to be tied down 3 hours a day.
Finally, there may be a pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel.
IMO, the Chevron decision has more long-reaching, and favorable, consequences for the restoration of our republic.
I think that pinprick is going to be more like the proverbial crack in the dam…..
EXACTLY!!!
We can give thanks to God for those times when righteous judgment is handed down, always. The flow of events never leave His control and all things are ultimately ordered to advance His will. And in that context, let’s not overlook the part of the decision that observes that the President’s immunity while he acts officially provides an umbrella of protection for those in his administration acting on his authority in the process of those official acts. I believe we will see the ramifications of that played out as time progresses.
But desperate people see the law only as a means to an end – getting Trump, whatever it takes. If a prostitute and a lying, corrupt lawyer cannot do it, in cahoots with a corrupt, 3rd-world jurist; if an attack dog from the Hague’s kennel cannot bring it home, in league with a Marxist attorney general mounting armed assaults on his employer’s political rival; if an adulteress prosecutor down in the sticks can’t bring home the bacon, so intent is she on stepping all over her own feet while playing the martyr; then what is left, if you’re unhinged and desperate, with the power of the Deep State egging you on and providing ammunition?
Continue to pray for the protection of the President and his family and remember: “Greater is He that is in (us) than he that is in the world.” – I John 4:4

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
“It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”
Some great words from people who came before us. I am tired to and long for rest. Perhaps we should cast our burdens upon our Lord, while still remaining vigilant.
AMEN!
Yes, he is out president.💕
We support him. 🇺🇲
May God protect him! 🙏
Nice, throw us some bones by preventing the hugely corrupt system from becoming TOO dysfunctional to function while in an amazingly timely manner with this and other recent decisions just in time to prevent Trump from using the same kind of lawfare interpretations used by The Blob against him while also protecting Senile Pervert for the sale of influence while VP to include threatening to withhold $1 billion in aid from Ukraine if they didn’t fire the prosecutor going (indirectly) after his son who, BTW, should be prosecuted for FARA violations.
Now, judge:
1. The backdoor censorship used by the government during the greatest crime against humanity in the 21st century… oh, wait, you already did in a widely panned by legal experts absolute garbage decision.
2. The very legitimacy of “elected” officials in an almost certainly highly fraud-ridden election system in the mind of anyone who has seriously researched it.
Nah, can’t do those since they get too close to the root of the problem – The Blob.
BTW, the Roe vs Wade decision was also a bone because that was a hugely flawed decision which should have been thrown out LONG ago.
A very corrupt Justus system we live under THEATRICS fools many. We live in the LIARS world until Jesus returns.
“fools many”
case in point, you?
seeking other fools to ensnare with slogan pablum thots?
Hope not.
Doomy. Gloomy.
Hmmm.
Perhaps “Winston” is in the 1 + 1 == 3 (or whatever Big Brother says the answer is) phase rather than being reality connected.
Death Dark HEART == Eyes Wide Shut blind plus death dark thots, words and deeds.
Infecteds become predators driven to infect others with their contagious soul deadly disease.
DARK HEARTS == blind and reality disconnected which results in negative thots, words and deeds rather than gratitude and thanks giving.
When an Eyes Wide Shut human is encountered, hopefully the reaction is to PRAY for the person who’s still so tragically “in the dark” and for anyone they encounter while in the clutches of feath.
Biden’s Debate Debacle Disqualifies His Entire Party”
https://spectator.org/bidens-debate-debacle-disqualifies-his-entire-party/
Great article by David Catron.
I’m glad we got the ruling. It should have been 9-0 , We will take what we got though.
I am genuinely surprised it was 6-3.
Both Robert and Conn-me Barret were probably desperate to join the thumbs-down dissenters but just couldn’t find enough interpretive Constitutional support to do so.
I will never understand the ignorance of those 3 leftist loons. And the republicucks who allowed them onto the court.
I don’t think it’s ignorance. I’m sure MANY people, if not most, in DC, are blackmailable, plain-and-simple.
Everyone is subject to blackmail. If the target won’t take the buyoff then threaten them with some dirty laundry, if their own dirty laundry doesn’t turn them they can be threatened with fabricated dirt. If that’s not enough then threaten the reputations, happiness, careers, lives of their family members. If that isn’t enough threat then threaten to wipe out a small city in a “terrorist attack”.
When we accept the depth of evil that is behind this we can recognize that NOBODY is immune from the pressures once they reach DC. Nobody. The question is not whether they can be blackmailed, the only issue is how far is the blackmailer willing to go to force the target to cooperate. We’ve got plenty of evidence that there are few if any limits on what the other side is willing to do. (For example, worldwide bioweapons)
I don’t think the republicans had much say in the matter – they were in the minority when these three were approved. Democrats will vote the party line even if the candidate to shown to be a total loony – just look at the candidate who didn’t know what a woman was.
“I will never understand the ignorance of those 3 leftist loons”
Why won’t you just call them democrats?
Talking heads alway feel the need to add “ progressive” or “Leftists”
They are democrats … nominated by a Democrat..
The President nominates someone for a vacancy on the Court
and the Senate votes to confirm the nominee .
the Dems were in control of Senate…Republicans could not stop the Dems who are still in control of senate.
Democrats burn the American flag .
They wave the terrorist Palestinian flag and the rainbow Gay flag.
These are all PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS.
Obama appointed a former Law Clerk to Judge Sonia Sotomayor .
It is shameful that it was not 9-0. The Marxists now have no clothes.
Which helps to demonstrate to the propoganized public, that the Marxists, indeed have no clothes. HOPEFULLY, that helps to wake people up; though I’m not holding my breath.
Oh, but the “propagandized public” is convinced that WE are the naked ones.
ORANGE MAN BAD !!

Propaganda is as propaganda does. Don’t worry their “fact checkers” will get this right. /sarc
Judith my daughter on steroids! She literally has TDS so bad she cannot even bear the thought of President Trump being the winner in 2024. She was really upset today about the immunity ruling.
This part of footnote 3 is interesting:
“What the prosecutor may not do, however, is admit testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing the official act itself. Allowing that sort of evidence would invite the jury to inspect the President’s motivations for his official actions and to second-guess their propriety. As we have explained, such inspection would be ‘highly intrusive’ and would ‘ “seriously cripple” ‘ the President’s exercise of his official duties. Fitzgerald, 457 U. S., at 745, 756 (quoting Spalding v. Vilas, 161 U. S. 483, 498 (1896)); see supra, at 18. And such second-guessing would ‘threaten the independence or effectiveness of the Executive.’ Trump v. Vance, 591 U. S. 786, 805 (2020).”
This reinforces Presidential Privilege which the lower courts continually want to destroy!
What is the impact re: Bannon?
Not all lower courts; just the communist-staffed ones.
Okay. Only 99% then! LOL
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I am glad they included that footnote. It will preclude the criminalization of PJT’s inspection of voter fraud in places like Georgia. As chief law enforcement officer, not looking into possible voter fraud in a federal election could be equally construed, by some, to be as criminal as his queries into possible fraud.
So, does this include the right of people like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon to assert Executive Privilege? It appears to be relevant, IMHO, to their defense that they could not be compelled to testify regarding their communications with President Trump.
They can’t assert the privilege, it isn’t theirs to assert. They are correct to abide by it once asserted by the Real President.
Sorry, I did not phrase my question well… since the attorneys for both Navarro and Bannon told them that executive privilege had been asserted and therefore they did not need to respond to the subpoenas, does this decision mean that their convictions should be overturned?
Personally I don’t think this decision was needed. Once the owner of the privilege has asserted it, the possessor of the privileged information is supposed to honor that. Some may consider it a duty. To my way of thinking not honoring that assertion of privilege would reveal the poor character of the blabber. Seeking to pierce a well-asserted established privilege is also a revelation of the low ethics of those involved.
Wasn’t questioning the motives of President Trump how they left the citizenship question off the census? Maybe that could be revisited?
Further takeaways:
The court wrote that the President “does not stand exempt from the general provisions of the Constitution. ”
“The President, charged with enforcing federal criminal laws, is not above them”
Do:
No President can deprive a US citizen of life or liberty without due process, (this one is for you, mouthpiece Harry Sisson), or violate the First Amendment, or institute cruel and unusual punishments, simply by virtue of his office.
The President is subject to turning over evidence to allow a US Citizen to exercise his or her rights under the 6th Amendment– but NOT documents involving executive branch communications between the President and his advisers.
Application to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, anyone?
How about Advice of Counsel? Dies this inform Judge Cannon’s evaluation of Beryl Howard’s piercing of the President’s Attorney-Client Privilege?
You betcha.
Special notes:
Although the court sent the case back down for the District court to sort out official from unofficial acts – and that inquiry is fact dependent and will take forever and thus removes this case from the election calculus – Roberts included one very, very specific piece of guidance in Footnote 3.
Official acts cannot be introduced into evidence to support a criminal charge for a non-official act, EXCEPT that the completion of an official act in exchange for a bribe can be so introduced.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is an arrow squarely aimed directly at the hearts of at least three, probably four, former living Presidents.
And finally, my favorite sentence of the opinion:
” We do not ordinarily decline to decide significant constitutional questions based on the Government’s promises of good faith.”
Take that, you Lawfare slimeballs.
Slimeballs is too good for them! Criminals is more accurate, imho.
Well they could go back to the kangeroo court and it will take years.
So what if it does?
Actually, I don’t think Smith can make his case without the evidence of official acts, and the 1512 charges are gone.
He has very little to work with. Very little.
Especially since SCOTUS [Justice Thomas] directly called him ‘a private citizen’, 🙂
ICYMI – FYI – WTF – Trust No One – ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Highlights Clarence Thomas findings👏👏👏
That speech by Clarence Thomas at the end. It needs to be heard by EVERY black Democrat voter. The Democrat party has NEVER changed. Only their methods have changed. They Were Racist from the start and continue to be racists today. They still control and influence the KKK. It’s not gone. But they have added BLM and Antifa to their organized terrorism (aka political violence). They continue to keep the black family destroyed and the culture of family a completely forgotten memory. Young black people in this country no longer have any tradition of family, of marriage or respect for their elders. ALL GONE. It will be HARD to restore black culture in this country back to the shining example or morality it once was. And it was. Their rate of illegitimacy was much lower than that of White Americans at one time. They were actually BETTER than white America. Think of it. And The Democrats would have NONE of it and destroyed them in any way they could.
All very true – including your comments about illegitimacy and divorce rates. All came to an end with LBJ’s “Great Society”.
Still can’t decide which president I despise more, Woodrow Wilson or LBJ. Still a toss up!!!
Don’t be a prude, despise them both equally, 🙂
That was a heartache to listen to at the time it occurred. 😢
Another checkmark against crass villain, Joe Potato Biden. 👹
Nice!!!
Thomas’ opinion gives the Florida court the foundation to grant Trumps motion to void the “special counsel’s” indictment. Was that the intent of Thomas? Seems like it.
The Thomas concurrence provides substantial guidance for Judge Cannon who is considering the legality of the Smith appointment, argued last week, on a Trump motion to dismiss. The timing could not be better! Touché Joe Biden.
Amy Commie Barret still doesn’t get it!
If it requires a jury to determine whether the President’s actions are immune from prosecution than the President of the United States doesn’t have immunity from criminal prosecution, Amy!
Can you understand that?
.
Well, her given name surely does not equate to:
Judge Fair All
She is a huge disappointment to say the least.
While reading this I remembered a line, repeated many times, from an old song: “He is dangerous.” How often we’ve heard that in regard to PDJT. The song is “This Jesus Must Die,” from the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar”. How well it parallels the left’s efforts to suppress Trump. Have fun reading it. I did.

MAGA!
“The Supreme Court ruled that presidents may not have immunity for non-official conduct. However, when the judicial review cannot differentiate, the court cannot look at motives for the decisions.”
So, could this mean that President Obama does not have immunity for wiretapping Trump Tower and authorizing efforts to create an “insurance policy” against President-Elect Trump?
Pssst . . . the Steele Dossier was a cheap fake . . . pass it on!
Obama is subject to RICO, is the bottom line here.
But is the SOL over?
I recall an old timer at CTH, a retired magistrate, said that any illegal act in furtherance of the crime extends the SOL.
But a kick@ss AG will never be confirmed by the Deep State. Right?
Who will watch the Watchers?
No, because the conspiracy is still ongoing, very likely.
It’s a 5 year SOL.
On confirmations, there’s a lot still to come that has not yet played out, I think.
Something about servers. Eyes on Assange.
THAT’s the reason that we, as a nation/culture, MUST turn back to God and His Laws!!!
Which is demonstrated by allowing God to work WITH us and THROUGH us rather than expecting Daddy to do everything while we sit around and bitch.
They will be done HERE as it is in HEAVEN.
Heaven == angels, archangels, seraphim and cherubim.
Here == thee, me and anyone else who has turned their HEART back to God and purged the tweenish pride that blocks His will from being done here as it is in Heaven.
After reconnecting, since there’s less than 130 DAYS left, perhaps consider this MUST:
FOCUS on helping Light Hearteds get a darkness dispelling 2 Big 2 Rig Trump Election Victory while monitoring to ensure that the Heart remains connected with God so ones Light stays on?
What is SOL? Shite out of luck is what it means to me.
I get it – statute of limitations aka shite out of luck if rats continue make rules

Very cheap.

On waste paper.
Hopefully lawfare will be slowed. We still have heads ahead.
YUP! The left are losing it! They are saying “we’re f-ked!” among other things. Will they come to realize that this whole thing has come about because they were in support of this weaponization of government? NOPE. They firmly believe it’s OK when they do it. Because….

Translation from LIARS double speak English into TRUE speak English:
OMG guise this takes our favorite tools including ” assassinations, coups, bribery (and prosecution persecutions) OFF the Table” 😭😭😭!!!
Assassinations? You mean like Phil Haney, Seth Rich, Ashli Babbitt, a number of FBI and DOJ whistleblowers, etc.?
Coups? You mean like what the “Intelligence” community did in the 2020 election, before during and after? Or before that in their “Russia Russia Russia” hoax? And like the government instigator involvement inciting violence on January 2, 2021, last we heard acknowledged to be over 200 agents?
Bribery? You mean like 10% for the Big Buy? You mean like the Monies referred to in Biden’s address to the WEF saying that Ukraine wouldn’t get their financial aid if they didn’t drop the investigation into Burisma?
Yeah, That would be horrible.
Looks like something from The Bee. Poor widdle leftards, with their exploding heads and all.

Question: Does this ruling help Steve Bannon avoid jail?
Steve Bannon was never President of the United States. This ruling doesn’t even apply to Pence, Cheney, Harris, etc….
Or Biden as Vice President.
But I bet he starts telling folks it does. Three. Two. One . . . .
Read the entire finding. Looks like Bannon should not even have been subpoenaed.
I planned on thoroughly reading through it. On first skim I didn’t catch that piece. Above I was simply referring to the immunity matter.
Was that inference/reference from Robert’s Opinion or Thomas’s concurring opinion?
The ruling is not limited to President Trump. It will be applied by extension to Presidents and Vice Presidents, past and future, as well.
But he was jailed b/c he refused a subpoena wherein the illegal Jan 6 committee wanted to interrogate him about his convos (as an adviser) with official President Trump. Those convos are protected by Prez. immunity
The immunity has to be asserted by the President, which it wasn’t.
Don’t think that’s true. It only has to be official presidential business which it was. Trump did not deny it was communication with an advisor.
Yes, it covers president to vine president communications. Also, President and advisors.
I thought that it does because, as I understand it, this relates to Presidential Immunity, which I understand he and Peter Navarro argued under.
Supreme Court Demands Deeper Look at Social Media Anti-Censorship Laws
https://reclaimthenet.org/supreme-court-florida-texas-anti-censorship-law-decision
A great day for President Trump. Enjoy the victory during the Fourth of July Holiday.
Unfortunately, this does not protect him from being sentenced to jail on July 11 in New York. However, I expect his lawyers will ask SCOTUS for an emergency writ of habeas which will keep President Trump out of jail until after the election during which time the appeal will move on through the court system.
Fortunately “sentenced to jail” =/= serving more than photo op time in jail.
Fortunately this SCOTUS ruling, plus previous days SCOTUS rulings, DEFINITELY does “protect” him ie PDJT.
Fortunately, if Judge Merchans puppet masters are dumb enuf to sentence PDJT to jail it will be the biggest gift the derp state has given him, and us, so far.
The SCOTUS is unfortunately on hiatus until October. Why do they get months off at a time??? IMO they should be there “at the ready”
By the time those liberal judges get a hold of it, NONE of President Trump’s actions will be ruled official.
Then right on back up to SCOTUS where that issue will be ripe on the next round.
Hopefully this guess turns out to be true which is possible since so far the DC courts have been suicidally stupid.
If they continue to be smug dumbs after these recent SCOTUS rulings it will provide the fodder President Trump needs to implement his Agenda 47 plans around DCs restoration which includes dismantling the DC court system.
Please, please Brer DC judges. Stick it to PDJT, the Orange Brer Rabbit. Ignore SCOTUS. Throw PDJT in the Regimes Lawfare brier patch.
😂 😂 😂
So grateful for this decision and the CHEVRON decision earlier in the week.
I had the opportunity to visit with a young hazelnut farmer here in Oregon this weekend, mentioned the CHEVRON decision, and asked if it might provide some noticeable relief to them going forward (since Oregon’s bureaucrats absolutely LOVE regulatory law-making on the fly).
He comfortably brightened and said, “Yup. We expect it will.”
Farmers who have been fighting for decades (and sometimes a century, when it’s a “family farm” [as this one is]) do not get all hyper and peprallyish at good news.
Farmers take history into consideration. They know what those who love power are capable of…so the farmers, young or older, are grateful for good things that happen…and always know better than to put their full weight on right out of the gate.
Most of them work like everything depends on them and pray like everything depends on God. It’s how they keep their sanity and sleep well at night.
I love filberts!
We had acreage near a two-hundred acre hazelnut orchard in the Mohawk Valley and were welcome to glean after harvest.
Never went without my beloved noisettes!
Plus SCOTUS also just ruled that there’s NO STATUE of LIMITATIONS on suing government agencies for Chevron based bureaucratic over reach.

Lawfare against the derp state is gonna get spicy thanks to DJTs election defeat of Hillary, his FOCUS on transforming the judiciary including SCOTUS plus recent SCOTUS rulings that allow dismantling the Derp State.
President Trump now has both partial legal immunity and natural covid immunity. What a guy!
So, this means that President Trump’s aides and assistants carrying out the orders and directions of the President in his official capacity cannot be prosecuted either…
“That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office.”
…like his Chief of Staff in the Georgia case! LOL
Who does this free from prison?
Rulings don’t “free people from prison”.
Rulings give lawyers and judges the ability to ” free people from prison” who were wrongfully convicted and/or sentenced.
These SCOTUS rulings are great news. I’m grateful and giving thanks. So is President Trump.
Et tu?
Hope so. 😘
I believe “That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office” pertains only to the Presidents as they are the only ones that actually occupy the Oval Office. But, staff would have Executive Privilege if that is invoked/determined by the President and should not have to divulge any privileged communications they had with the President.
Democrats are losing their collective minds over the ruling. Chuck you schumer and the bartender, are going to need several doses of Klonopin, to calm down.
I can think of several other substances, heavy doses of which we might recommend giving them….
This just makes it all that much better! Enjoy!!!
“The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts could not be used as evidence of a crime.”
“ The other crucial point is this: The court ruled not only that Trump can’t be prosecuted for certain conduct, but also that conduct for which he is immune can’t even be used as evidence against him. So, his interactions with Justice Department officials, for instance, can’t be used to establish a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election.”
Boom! Boom!
This will definitely destroy the Georgia case against President Trump, his chief of staff and his associates as well as even the New York Case since the federal campaign filings were a necessary and required by law part of a President’s official duties!
I won’t use the term “definitely” because SCOTUS remanded this case right back to the corrupt court that hired Jack Smith. Smithie might use this as a do-over.
Remanding the case back to DC will NOT change the ultimate lawfare outcomes in the derp state cases against President Trump.
Thanks to SCOTUS rulings the outcome of derp states persecution prosecutions of PDJT will “DEFINITELY” be failure.
God is answering against the evil people who have come after Trump and He will continue to crush them!!
You should keep your enthusiasm for this ruling in check. Yes. Good for Trump but will make holding those responsible for destroying this country and the rule of law to account very difficult if not impossible.
Only presidents, NOT their minions.
Why?
Totally disagree.
The thing that will make it impossible to hold people responsible =/= SCOTUS rulings but instead == people who waste precious time being Screen World VIEWERS and opiners rather than Real World DOERS focused on re electing President Trump.
When will this last chance be GONE FOREVER?
In less than 130 DAYS?
Yet here you are repeatedly in Screen World…
telling others what to do.
Luke 12:2-3 (KJV) For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
The 2020 election coup will be revealed. The illegitimate president and their entire officers are not covered by this ruling. Praise God!!
Unfortunately the ball is in Merchan’s court…
I hope our real POTUS can immediately appeal whatever sentence the commie judge hands down and that the sentence will be held in abeyance. It’s impossible to believe that ultimately the SCOTUS will uphold any of these kangaroo court antics.
This is separate from the New York case, which involves state prosecution of non-official, private conduct.
Nothing about today’s ruling impacts that case.
What does impact that case is Jarkesy, which held that a defendant is entitled to a unanimous jury verdict on all counts or aspects of a punitive government action.
Meaning, Merchan’s ruling that the jury did not have to agree unanimously on WHICH predicate act is completely invalid.
It’s almost like someone (cough cough) knew Jarkesy was coming, and had Merchan deliberately shoot himself in the judicial foot. 😎
What I meant was it’s up to Merchan to get DJT out of the way because the other cases are falling apart.
Although maybe Merchan intends to do his worst no matter what SCOTUS ruled.
Merchan will, I predict, sentence President Trump to jail for a period of years.
Which will become, in the end, a period of weeks or months. When we look back.
In the meantime, many very awful things will happen, for which President Trump is not to blame – and not even in sight.
That’s the script as I currently read it. You never know about plot twists though.
New York case is gutted!
1: Judge never analyzed actions in accordance with SC decision today as required.
2: Prosecutors cited J6 speech and actions of President Trump in court.
3: Prosecutors cited federal obstruction charge against President Trump.
4: Prosecutors used statements, documents and motives of President Trump all excluded now!
THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IS A MUCH MORE POWERFUL ONE THAN SOME HAD EXPECTED IT TO BE. IT IS BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND WISE, AND CLEARS THE STENCH FROM THE BIDEN TRIALS AND HOAXES, ALL OF THEM, THAT HAVE BEEN USED AS AN UNFAIR ATTACK ON CROOKED JOE BIDEN’S POLITICAL OPPONENT, ME. MANY OF THESE FAKE CASES WILL NOW DISAPPEAR, OR WITHER INTO OBSCURITY. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

You tell ’em, Mr. President!
Leftists on their lefty sites are now wanting Biden to take the “official action” of declaring Trump and the 6 SCOTUS judges declared as “domestic terrorists” and then throwing them in jail.
Ha ha. That would be about as “official” as King Canute’s order to the tide to stop turning.
ROFLOL!!! To call these people children, or even infants/infantile is an insult to children of all ages!
Masks are dropping. The pace of The Great Revealing (of what had been hidden from public view) aka Operation Drain the Swamp and The Great Awakening is accelerating.
The Dawn/Don is approaching and the vampires are realizing there’s no where to hide.
Weisman should be investigated
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/terrifying-muellers-hatchet-man-andrew-weissmann-melts-down/
Weissman has poor reading comprehension. SCOTUS writes that POTUS can violate his Constitutional duties, such as due process rights.
But it is hilarious that Weissman is worried about a President directing executive branch agencies to target a rival.
You know, like raiding his house with armed Stasi…
Andrew Wilkow just pointed out that The Lightbringer ALSO now has absolute immunity for drone-killing three American citizens named Al-Awlaki and Khan.
One supposes that, if Mumbles O’Biden actually does decide to send those F-15s after white insurrectionists, that too would noe be legal.
But Conspiring against his successor is NOT an official act, so the whole Russia Russia Russia and Donald Trump is a Russian spy hoax, to which O was an eager party, are not exempt from prosecution.
Never heard of Andrew.
But no way murdering non-military American citizens without due process of trial is within the definition of a legal and constitutional official act.
In my humble opinion of course.
(I say non-military because as I understand it, the executive does have the official authority to send soldiers into a certain death situation.)
“One supposes”
If one did choose to create doom porn fantasies rather than seeking out reality grounded analysis then that one could suppose anything.
It’s not the complete win I wanted (I wanted the Court to dismiss the entire indictment based on Jack Smith’s lack of standing), but it’ll do.
That it was 6-3 instead of 5-4 helps; hard to call that a “closely divided court” (although the MSM likely will).
They’re definitely calling it an Us v Them court…
Directed specifically at the DOJ and three Appeals Court Bimbos who said that the grand jury system and the integrity of federal prosecutors were sufficient protection to prevent abusive prosecution of the President of the United States for political reasons…
And finally, my favorite sentence of the opinion:
” We do not ordinarily decline to decide significant constitutional questions based on the Government’s promises of good faith.”
Take that, you Lawfare slimeballs.
The big question … one of them:
Does this Decision make sending President Trump to jail July 11 more or less likely?
More, because of the other cases falling apart, and the buyme regime imploding, they are grasping at straws. Merchan is their only hope
More. We were talking about this at lunch. Merchant will lose it and sentence Trump to a max jail term.
Trump should ignore the New York courts from now on. Simply stop participating.
Listening to opinions these rulings should help Rudy Gulianni and Steve Bannon as both were advisors to PDJT.
And so Donald Trump recited Voltaire’s prayer – “Dear Lord, please make my enemies … … … ridiculous” – and the Lord granted his prayer even more than He had done for Voltaire.
Interesting that Roberts wrote the decisions on the most controversial cases. Perhaps he wanted to take the pressure off Alito and Thomas and the other “conservative” judges.
First opinion of the day was a third blow at the administrative state, Corner Post, after Loper-Bright and Jarkesy.
The truck stop, Corner Post, was fighting a 2011 Federal Reserve rule that capped “interchange fees” at 21 cents per transaction plus a small percentage of that transaction’s value. Retail stores have long chafed at those fees.
The issue before the Supreme Court was technical: The government argued the truck stock couldn’t sue over the rule.
because a six-year statute of limitations had already run out.
But Corner Post did not incorporate until 2017 and it argued the statute-of-limitations clock didn’t start ticking until it opened its doors. It claimed that any other outcome would mean a company would be barred from suing over a government regulation before it even began operations.
The federal government said Corner Post’s position would allow opponents of a regulation to challenge it forever by simply finding a new company willing to sue. A federal district court and the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the federal government.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the opinion for a 6-3 majority, with the liberal justices in dissent. She rejected the Justice Department’s argument that the statute of limitations runs from when a regulation is finalized.
“Under the Board’s finality rule, only those fortunate enough to suffer an injury within six years of a rule’s promulgation may bring an (Administrative Procedure Act) suit. Everyone else – no matter how serious the injury or how illegal the rule – has no recourse,” Barrett wrote.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented:
“The flawed reasoning and far-reaching results of the Court’s ruling in this case are staggering,” Jackson wrote.
“The majority refuses to accept the straightforward, commonsense, and singularly plausible reading of the limitations statute that Congress wrote. In doing so, the Court wreaks havoc on Government agencies, businesses, and society at large,” she added. “At the end of a momentous Term, this much is clear: The tsunami of lawsuits against agencies that the Court’s holdings in this case and Loper Bright have authorized has the potential to devastate the functioning of the Federal Government.”
That’s the point, Ketanji. A tsunami of lawsuits because of Corner Post and Loper-Bright.
And jury trials if the SEC charges people with offenses that are also crimes under common law or the federal criminal code, instead of a “hearing” in front of an SEC administrative judge with charges being filed by an SEC attorney..
👆👆👆👆
The other point is: why would the People petition their legislators to grant unelected bureaucrats powers of compulsion or to bring upon them financial harm by way of mal, mis or nonfeasance?
I personally am entirely pleased at this point with anything that wreaks havoc on “Government” (I spell that “gummint”) agencies. 😉
Only fair considering the havoc wrought upon Us the People by them…
Eat it seditious insurrectionists Weissmann, Eisen, and McCord along with your useful tools Smith, Willis, Endrogon, Merchan, and Bragg.
“Terrifying” – Mueller’s Hatchet Man Andrew Weissmann Melts Down Over SCOTUS Immunity Ruling, Floats Absurd SEAL Team 6 Assassination Hypothetical (VIDEO)

Seems to be a good, balanced rendering that grants immunity but with reasonable limits. The Left is freaking out, but that is because their inherent lawlessness prevents them from appreciating that there are limits. So some of them are calling for Biden to bomb MAL. This is the moral indigence we are up against.
The Left is up against God. Fools!
Moral indigence like this?
To which Pres. Trump’s 2024 campaign manager replied….
The sad part of all this is 90% of Americans KNOW Trump WON 2020. There was a perfectly legal avenue for Pence to follow to further investigate, rather than certify. Yet, Trump is considered the criminal here, to question what we know is true. A million patriots came to complain, and millions more at home agreed with them!
Plenty on the left are well aware – particularly the likes of Amy Klobuchar and others who were accustomed to make a hobby out of questioning every election of a Republican up until now.
Of course Trump should have Presidential immunity. Now, when are we going to be able to sue for frivolous lawsuits using the taxpayer dimes for this nonsense?
I want my money back! This government doesn’t represent me! Taxation without representation.
I’m just sorry the defense counsel didn’t drill Smith about the statutes Smith is using in the January 6th case. None of them had anything to do with what Smith alleged Trump did. That’s because no federal statute exists that pertains to the Electoral Vote Count by a Joint Session of Congress but The Electoral Count Act and it isn’t a criminal statute.
The president has to be dealt with through impeachment. Expect every maga president to be impeached over and over again by the Dems..
AOC is gonna impeach the SCOTUS justices when she’s back in session.

God has shown mercy on President Trump. Prayers have been answered. God is in control not man.
Thank you Jesus.
AMEN!!!

The Supreme Court totally dismantled most of the charges against me. Joe Biden should now call off his “dogs.”
Our Country should now be focused on GREATNESS again!

Dog Comms are my favorite comms 🐕
If only I knew what they actually meant.
Challenging an election isn’t a criminal offense. And it’s hard to see how the president is in any way responsible for the failure of Congress and the Capitol Police to provide adequate security for a large demonstration
He didn’t challenge the election — that is the media spin. Trump suspected that the election may have had irregularities and that they may have been violations of federal election laws. It is his job — as defined by the constitution — to enforce those laws. Everything Trump did was within his powers, and he didn’t do anything differently than any police detective when he has a reasonable suspicion.
President Trump, a candidate in the 2020 presidential election, alleged irregularities said election. He pursued legal relief in the courts; through the various state legislatures; Congress; and the Vice President who is responsible for counting electors.
Collectively these actions are “election challenges.” All of them are 100% legal and Constitutional.
As was organizing a rally in support of his election challenge in Washington DC on January 6, 2021. The purpose of which was to help members of Congress and the Vice President to find the courage to stand up for what is right.
Nothing illegal at all, and completely within his rights as a candidate.
And, to an extent, arguably, in his role as President he was acting to influence the responsible officials to do their duty.
Was the SCOTUS tampering with the election debate when they chose to delay decisions until after the debate?
Or,
Would they have been tampering with the debate if they had released all their decisions before the debate?
I think Trump certainly could have used the decisions to his advantage during the debate, if they had been announced earlier.
Just the opposite. The DNC made the debate June 27 thinking that the Immunity decision would be released that day and would distract from Biden’s lousy performance. Just like Merchan set up the sentencing date for July 11, 4 days before the Republican convention.
Am I missing something – cuz I’m missing Dutchman… Anyone???
Timing is everything.
Trump 2024 and they know it. These people are protecting the Deep State assets, i.e. Obama, Biden, Clinton, and Bush.
Game over, baby!
ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY.
Oh, man that feels good. The system is still corrupt, though.
One step at a time!
