I’ve been thinking about this a bit, I’m not sure it’s been considered and I may be going out on a random tangent…
Isn’t this whole ‘immunity’ decision just another power grab, or rather further cementing of their power, by SCOTUS? Think about it. They’re essentially the arbiter of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ now, as there’s no further avenue of appeal save for amending the U.S. Constitution.
Put aside the vagueness of ‘official’ vs. ‘unofficial’ acts for a moment.
-
Trump did something definitely illegal, and Trump argues was ‘official’, like his classified records case. Immune.
-
Biden did something questionably legal yet unofficial, such as forgetfully retaining classified documents after his tenure as VP (which he immediately returned). Supreme Court decides ‘not immune’, and some idiot decides to prosecute.
Trump might end up as a king, but the conservative majority of SCOTUS are the kingmakers and protectors.
Question for those in the U.S…
Would this news, highlighting the ‘forgotten’ stuff again, deaden the probable ‘electoral boost’ he’ll get from the attempted assassination?
Seems like bad news when the case was all but stalled with no news about it in the media… Now it’ll probably get more news traction as it’s appealed over the coming months.
Wishful thinking?
