Presidential Immunity

I would think it is self exemplary of what must take place next!

So this new Presidential Immunity ruling takes effect immediately? I mean, all of the levity and protections of the ruling for the office of the President go into effect while this current President is in the chair? Right? The current President who said it would be their job to protect the Constitution and the American people from terrorists abroad and domestic? It would be their job to protect the Constitution and Democracy at home and abroad?

I mean, before they enter on the Execution of the Office, you know, as an OFFICER of the United States, they shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I, state your name, will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

We have seen in history how this begins to play out. The reshaping of the German government and development of the Nazi regime began in a very similar fashion in the mid 1930’s. Only now the United States government has the benefit of hindsight as to how things played out.

I mean, it was the Trump legal team who argued that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.

The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.

In the hearing that reviewed a motion from Trump’s team to toss his election interference charges, Sauer argued that presidents can only be criminally prosecuted if they have already been tried and convicted by the Senate.

“He would have to be impeached and convicted,” Sauer replied.

In a hearing before the D.C. Circuit Court, the former president’s lawyers argued that he should be immune from criminal prosecution for his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 presidential election. This argument has an obvious flaw: It implies that the president is above the law. Such a blunt rejection of the Constitution and the basic concept of American democracy is too much even for Trump to assert—publicly, at least—so his lawyers have proposed a theory. They say that he can’t be criminally prosecuted unless he is first impeached and convicted by Congress.

Well, the Supreme Court has made a decision on this.

Immediately following the Supreme Court decision former President Donald Trump amplified posts on social media calling for a televised military tribunal for former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney and the jailing of top elected officials, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
