lb4o917 | 1dstrb1 | There is no excuse for that performance. We are talking about the president. Part of the job is dealing with emergencies at any hour, sometimes several at once. If being too tired means he can't string sentences together or think on his feet, it's time to step aside.
And before I get a bunch of folks whining about trump, yes, I agree, he is also unfit. But I was never going to vote for that asshole. It's be nice if we had one nominee capable of doing the job. | AnotherPNWWoodworker | 28 | 2024-07-01T14:15:51 | 4,459 |
lb4oagf | 1dstc6q | I see this notion in every thread:
"If SCOTUS rules a certain way, Biden can do anything" as if he will suddenly unlock some newfound power as an omnipotent king - followed by "So the Supreme Court will rule in a way that helps Trump, but not Biden"
But it's kind of misunderstanding what the case is about.
The case isn't about granting direct authority or power. It's about corrupt *incentive* and accountability - specifically out of office.
And because of that, any favorable ruling for Trump already achieves that goal of specifically helping someone like Trump, and not so much Biden.
After all, Biden already has immunity in practicality while in office - at least from federal prosecution. He is the head of the executive, he is the boss of the Attorney General. The DOJ literally has an official position that [a sitting President enjoys absolute immunity from criminal prosecution](https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB11121).
>The executive branch has taken the position that sitting Presidents do possess absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, at least while they hold office.
Even if the AG defied the OLC guidance, Biden could just.. fire him.
So the takeaway isn't that it suddenly makes the office a King and bestows on them new powers. It's that they would be able to abuse the office with impunity after leaving the position. It fosters criminal actions from bad actors and it encourages someone who wants to obtain a legal shield from the office itself. So... it specifically benefits someone like Trump.
Besides, this is probably all irrelevant anyway since I doubt we're going to see some sort of Earth-shattering blanket immunity in the ruling today.
Instead, they will help Trump another way he so desperately wants - by further delaying his trial. | CaptainNoBoat | 16 | 2024-07-01T14:16:05 | 4,462 |
lb4ocw0 | 1dssnz6 | In betting markets, Biden’s odds have slipped from 2:1 before the debate to 4:1 after. Meaning if you bet $1 you will win $4 if he’s actually elected. Gambling establishments don’t offer odds like this unless they are fairly confident he’s not winning. It’s about money, not political spin. This is bad.

lb4qsbe | 1dstc6q | "Thus, even a hypothetical President who admits to having ordered the assassinations of his political rivals or critics, see, e.g., Tr. of Oral Arg. 9, or one who indisputably instigates an unsuccessful coup, id., at 41–43, has a fair shot at getting immunity under the majority’s new Presidential accountability model."

lb4qwc2 | 1dstzmx | It hasn’t been challenged because the occurrence of trans people in sports is so low that they haven’t found a suitable plaintiff to challenge the ban on them competing in high school or middle school.
This ban is stupid and pointless and only serves to look good politically. If they’re concerned about competition, then make it a case-by-case basis like the fall-back is in Idaho anyways. | Zeddo52SD | 37 | 2024-07-01T14:31:36 | 4,628 |

lb4qz65 | 1dstc6q | The court holds that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers.67Former presidents are also entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts.109There is no immunity, the court holds, for unofficial acts. | Winkie1 | 15 | 2024-07-01T14:32:04 | 4,635 |
lb4r1k4 | 1dstc6q | Immunity for “official acts” but not “unofficial acts”. What a fuckin wishy-washy bullshit decision. | sloppybuttmustard | 186 | 2024-07-01T14:32:28 | 4,644 |
lb4r1r4 | 1dstc6q | 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 Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution. And the system of separated powers designed by theFramers has always demanded an energetic, independent Executive. The President therefore may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office, regardless of politics, policy, or party.

lb4rboz | 1dstc6q | Trump lost here. They gave him immunity without any protect for what he has done. Official actions only. His document stealing case will still keep going. This is nothing more than a move to make the Far Right act up. | Plzbanmebrony | 20 | 2024-07-01T14:34:08 | 4,669 |
