FedSoc justices disgraced themselves and their fake pet theories in the oral argument on presidential immunity.
Remember when they were “minimalists”? Oh, but now they embarked on a long policy peregrination so as to make what Gorsuch called a “ruling for the ages.” (He actually said that.) Behind the stunning pomposity, it’s miles from “minimalist.”
Remember when they were “constitutionalists”? The constitution says they’ve got to stick to the “case or controversy” before them, and yet they went on their wild hypothetical wanderings. Some “constitutionalists.”
Remember when they were “originalists”? Follow the text, never mind the outcomes?
All gone, in hand-waving about what various rulings might portend, and what effects they could have.
Remember their recent switch (Dobbs, Bruen) to “history and tradition”? The “history” is that no president but Nixon and Trump committed crimes; none sought immunity.
The “tradition” is presidents for centuries got along just
Remember in Bush v. Gore, the FedSoc justices decided the case that put Bush in the presidency ONE DAY after oral arguments. When the Republican Party needed speed, FedSoc justices delivered to their owners.
On Thursday, the #scotus will be hearing arguments where lawyers for the criminal defendant are arguing that all former presidents are forever immune from criminal prosecution for any official acts done in office.
Failure to respect the election of a new President, is the ultimate crime against the people, who are the basis of government. The President, by constitutional design, should have no role- official or unofficial-in the determination of the people's
vote. Immunity for the crimes here alleged would be most abhorrent to the Framers, because immunity would upset the constitutional scheme and aid a President in overriding the people's power over him.
The Framers would also have been appalled that Trump, despite having left office, seeks permanent immunity. As a Federalist wrote for the Maryland ratifying convention:
It seems, however, that the president may possibly be continued for life. He may so, provided he deserve it.
The Framers did not put an immunity clause in the #Constitution.They knew how to, and they did not. They did not provide immunity to the president. Wasn't the whole point that the president was not a monarch and the president was not supposed to be above the law.
German & Belgian citizens resident in the UK were not allowed to vote in the #EUref (despite them having a dog in the game - losing UK freedom of movement, etc) whereas citizens of Rwanda resident here DID have a Brexit vote, on account that the former German/Belgian colony joined the British Commonwealth in 2009 (despite never having been part of the British Empire).
Same applied to Portuguese and Mozambican citizens.
The attackers utilized a combination of tools during the campaign, including an executable wiper (NACL.exe) requiring administrator privileges to erase data by removing the boot signature from the Master Boot Record (MBR).
