LOL first thing they have to accomplish is to prove in court he did anything wrong...
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Donald Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he took in the waning days of his presidency in a decision that will likely further delay a trial on the federal election subversion charges pending against him.
In the most closely watched case before the Supreme Court this year, the ruling rejects a decision from a federal appeals court in February that found Trump enjoyed no immunity for alleged crimes he committed during his presidency to reverse the 2020 election results.
“We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that a former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in Monday’s opinion. “At least with respect to the president’s exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute.”
“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law,” Roberts also wrote.

Supreme Court rules Trump has limited immunity in January 6 case, jeopardizing trial before election
CNN —The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Donald Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he took in the waning days of his presidency in a decision that will likely further delay a trial on the federal election subversion charges pending against him.

Trump immunity decision is in.
6-3, written by Chief Justice Roberts. The Republican appointees in the majority, the Democratic appointees dissent.
"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. That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office."
Ruling: https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf
Sotomayor/Kagan/Jackson dissent:"Today’s decision to grant former Presidents criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the Presidency. It makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that no man is above the law. Relying on little more than its own misguided wisdom about the need for 'bold and unhesitating action' by the President ... the Court gives former President Trump all the immunity he asked for and more. Because our Constitution does not shield a former President from answering for criminal and treasonous acts, I dissent."
Chief Justice Roberts writes for the Supreme Court majority: "As for the dissents, they strike a tone of chilling doom that is wholly disproportionate to what the Court actually does today"

Ok you you dumb bitches, the Constitution DOES allow for criminal and treasonous acts to be prosecuted. You just have PROVE that treason was actually committed, and that the crimes are a high crime. You don't just get to say they are treasonous and criminal acts.
Another example of just how dumb these people are.

They are totally ignoring that the obozo already did that and the msm never gave a fuck, but they do now 'cause a SC ruling didn't go their way. What a bunch of lying hypocrites!
The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
Under this new standard, a president can go on a four-to-eight year crime spree and then retire from public life, never to be held accountable.

This is nothing compared to what will happen if trump wins in Nov. They might even let Joe push the button and burn it all down. The wildcard is July 11th still. Not sure how long they will send him to prison for or how long it will take for the appeals process to work.

The immunity granted is a double edged sword, it's a case of be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

Suffice to say anything the left is spewing is made up nonsense.
They're butt hurt so they're taking it to the 'Nth' degree of impossible possibilities.
Anyone with a brain cell can see that the ruling does NOT give the POTUS immunity to do illegal acts.
They have to be Constitutional and within the scope of official duties. SCOTUS made that perfectly clear.
If you want to grok what powers the POTUS will have X22Report explains everything quite well.
He also explains what official duties are not as well!
Listen at 1.5X and start at 2m to avoid the 1st commercial. There's another midway but it's about 1 min long.

‘Death squad ruling’: Maddow reacts to Supreme Court Trump immunity decision
Jul 1, 2024 #SupremeCourt #Trump #immunityRachel Maddow on the Supreme Court's immunity decision: "This is a death squad ruling. This is a ruling that says that as long as you can construe it as an official or quasi-official act, you can do absolutely anything. Absolutely anything and never be held accountable, not only while you are president, but forever."

More fear mongering dem propaganda.
Obama already proved he can kill ya as potus anytime he wanted to.
Where was your dumb bitch Rachel then?
I just saw where up chuck schumer is pushing legislation to strip Trump of his immunity. Lol
This is an example of how he fails to understand even the basics of how our government is supposed to work.
He's stupid enough to think they can simply enact a law that alters the Constitution.
The guy is a buffoon. No surprise though, as most dems are. Buncha rinos are too.
Only way to change it, is to Amend the Constitution.
....but that requires broad, nation-wide support which he and his party lacks.
Too bad, so sad, chukie! Lol

So why is it seemingly so difficult for those against Trump, to understand what that guy laid out? Everything he said is common sense stuff, at least to anyone who has even a rudimentary understanding of the Constitution and how our gov is supposed to work.

NY Democrat introduces constitutional amendment reversing Supreme Court immunity ruling
Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-N.Y.) introduced a constitutional amendment Wednesday seeking to undo the Supreme Court’s decision that former presidents enjoy a presumption of criminal immunity for official acts.“Earlier this month the Supreme Court of the United States undermined not just the foundation of our constitutional government, but the foundation of our democracy,” Morelle said. “At its core, our nation relies on the principle that no American stands above another in the eyes of the law. “
Morelle’s proposed amendment would make clear that “no official may invoke immunity for criminal actions solely on the basis of the duties of their office,” the lawmaker’s office told The Hill.
The Supreme Court handed down the 6-3 decision earlier this month, ruling along ideological lines that presidents have absolute immunity for actions that fall within the core responsibilities of their office, and are “at least presumptively immune” for all other official acts.

Just shows how stupid New York "officials" are.
Please tell me that you don't think this is warranted.
