In a stunning attack on the rule of law, the packed Republican Supreme Court declares that Trump is above the law and will engage in election interference by delaying his trial for his failed coup attempt

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4621749-supreme-court-justices-skeptical-of-sweeping-immunity-claims-by-trump/

In shocking arguments Thursday before the U.S. Supreme Court, at least five conservative justices suggested that they would create a new rule providing some form of immunity from criminal prosecution for former presidents and require lower courts to hold additional hearings to judge whether the indictment of former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election met that new standard.

The case arrived before the court after the Department of Justice charged Trump with four felonies related to his effort to overturn his 2020 election loss through a scheme involving the submission of false elector slates to Congress on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump asserted that as president he had an “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for all official acts committed while in office, and he asked the courts to confirm his claim. The case ended up at the Supreme Court after a panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against his absolute immunity claim.

During Thursday’s arguments, five of the six conservative justices appeared more concerned about hypothetical restraints on future presidents that could flow from hypothetical future prosecutions rather than the actual case at hand. Nor did they appear to consider the hypothetical crimes future presidents could commit if granted “absolute immunity.” And though a majority of the court did appear to reject Trump’s full claim of “absolute immunity,” this suggested a desire to craft a ruling that would grant some form of immunity to presidents in some cases, and then remanding Trump’s case back to the lower courts for more hearings.
>>
Though this may deny Trump the “absolute immunity” that would lead to the dismissal of his charges, it would give him what he may have wanted even more: a further delay of his trial past the Nov. 5 election. If Trump, the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee, wins that election, he would become effectively immune from prosecution because of the Department of Justice’s policy not to prosecute a sitting president. It is possible that Trump could even pardon himself, although the justices noted in arguments that the court has never ruled on the constitutionality of a self-pardon.

Delay has been the chief strategy deployed by Trump since he was indicted in four different courts for crimes including trying to overturn the 2020 election, taking classified documents from the White House and paying to quash damaging stories from alleged mistresses.

Repeatedly, the conservative justices noted that they were not concerned with the case at hand but rather with their hypothetical concerns about how the threat of criminal sanction could restrain a president in the future.

“I’m not concerned about this case so much as future ones, too,” said Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump nominee.

“Like Justice Gorsuch, I’m not focused on the here and now of this case; I’m very concerned about the future,” said Justice Brett Kavanaugh, another Trump nominee.

“I’m not discussing the particular facts of this case,” said Justice Samuel Alito, a George W. Bush nominee.
>>
The conservatives instead largely focused on the difference between an official act and an unofficial act, and whether the two could be realistically separated. In doing so, they went far afield to ask whether, after leaving office, President Lyndon Johnson could have been indicted for lying about the Vietnam War, if President Franklin Roosevelt could have faced criminal charges for incarcerating Japanese Americans or whether President John F. Kennedy could have been charged for trying to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba. (Kennedy, of course, died in office, so the question would be moot.)

In one jarring instance, Alito seemingly turned the case against Trump entirely on its head by suggesting that, without immunity, it was the threat of criminal sanction that would destabilize democracy by encouraging presidents to use force or fraud to stay in office.

“If an incumbent who loses a very close, hotly contested election knows that a real possibility after leaving office is not that the president is going to be able to go off into peaceful retirement but that the president may be criminally prosecuted by a bitter political opponent, will that not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy?” Alito asked. The case before Alito was, of course, already about a president who tried to overturn an election he lost.

When the arguments did veer back to the actual facts of Trump’s case, a majority of justices could be seen to coalesce around the view that the charges in the indictment, or at least some of them, did not qualify as official acts and, therefore, could be brought against him.
>>
D. John Sauer, Trump’s lawyer, agreed that Trump’s actions in organizing the fake electors scheme ― in which Republican officials in six states submitted fake slates of electors to Congress in a scheme to overturn the election ― and acts involving private campaign officials or private lawyers did not constitute official acts, although Sauer disagreed about the facts surrounding them.

But Sauer also argued that elements of the indictment included official acts, such as Trump’s conversations with Vice President Mike Pence, his submission of the false electors and his effort to fire his attorney general and appoint Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark because he would carry out his order to declare an investigation into nonexistent election fraud.

Were the court to not grant Trump absolute immunity, Sauer argued, the court should impose a rule to determine what is or isn’t an official act and require a lower court to review the indictment against Trump to excise any reference to official acts.

At the same time, Sauer expanded his argument beyond the initial absolute immunity claim to argue that presidents cannot be charged under any statute that does not specifically state that they apply to the president. This new logic would excuse the charges against Trump even if he did not obtain immunity for his official acts.

The conservatives entertained all of this, with Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Justice Clarence Thomas seeming to be most firmly in Sauer’s corner. In ignoring the specific question presented to the court about absolute immunity for the charges Trump faced, they all focused on what they deemed the bigger question of creating a standard for future cases that would protect the president from interference in the difficult decision-making required for the office.
>>
And so, the debate focused on what standard the court could adopt that would immunize presidents from prosecution for official acts, or some official acts, while perhaps allowing prosecution for non-official acts, those taken in pursuit of private gain.

Sauer wanted the court to extend its 1982 precedent in Fitzgerald v. Nixon, which granted presidents absolute immunity from civil liability, to cover criminal acts. In Fitzgerald, the court set a standard that included everything within the “outer perimeter” of the president’s official role as official acts. But Fitzgerald’s “outer perimeter” test should not be applied if the court seeks to create a new standard for presidential immunity in this case, Michael Dreeben, the lawyer representing special prosecutor Jack Smith, argued.

The justices discussed other possibilities, including the adoption of the standard set by the D.C. Circuit in Blassingame v. Trump, which denied Trump immunity from civil liability related to harms caused during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection by distinguishing between his dual roles as “office-holder” and “office-seeker.”

Dreeben was more amenable to the Blassingame standard, arguing that Trump’s alleged acts in the indictment were done in furtherance of his campaign and not as part of his duty as president, but Dreeben added that the government would look “more at the content of that actual interaction in order to make that determination than Blassingame suggested” by examining the “objective of the activity as opposed to the subjective motive.”

While the conservatives were more focused on creating a standard to protect future presidents, the liberal justices were concerned about the harms that could ensue by granting those future presidents absolute, or even qualified, immunity from prosecution for criminal acts.

They're going to split the baby, which is what pussy judges always do.
>>
“If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assassinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?” Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked.

“That could well be an official act,” Sauer replied.

“How about if the president orders the military to stage a coup?” Justice Elena Kagan asked.

“I think it would depend on the circumstances,” Sauer said, after a pause.

“You seem to be worried about the president being chilled,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said to Sauer. “I think that we would have a really significant opposite problem if the president wasn’t chilled. If someone with those kind of powers ― the most powerful person in the world with the greatest amount of authority ― could go into office knowing there would be no potential penalty for committing crimes ― I’m trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into the seat of criminal activity in this country.”

The only conservative justice who appeared strongly opposed to Trump’s arguments for some kind of immunity or the prospect of further delay of his federal trial was Justice Amy Coney Barrett. She was the only conservative justice to directly press Sauer on the actual alleged acts in the indictment and, in questioning Dreeben, she repeatedly noted her agreement with his analysis of the case.

Near the end of the arguments, Barrett appeared to be looking for a way out of both granting absolute immunity and further delaying the trial. She pressed Dreeben on the special prosecutor’s desire to move the case forward quickly but noted that if the court were to adopt a new standard on immunity, “the normal process would be to remand” to the lower courts “if we decided there was some ‘official acts’ immunity.”

“It is another option for special counsel to proceed on ‘unofficial conduct’ based on the private conduct and drop the ‘official conduct,’” Barrett said.
>>
Dreeben replied that his understanding is that the indictment does not charge Trump with anything that could be construed as an official act. Where the indictment does mention events that Sauer claimed to be official acts (the effort to elevate Clark, for example), it did so to present supporting material as evidence that Trump abused his office to advance a scheme to overturn the election. Perhaps, he suggested, the trial court could allow the introduction of these potentially official acts as “evidence of intent” and instruct the jury that they could not be interpreted for the purpose of “criminal culpability.”

Jackson also homed in on whether the court should again delay Trump’s trial by arguing that the court need only rule on the question before it: whether presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.

“I thought he was arguing that all official acts get immunity?” Jackson asked. “And so I didn’t understand us having to drill down on which official acts do. My question is, why isn’t it enough, for the purposes of this case given what the petitioner has argued, to just answer the question of whether all official acts get immunity?”

“We should probably wait for a vehicle that allows us to test the different sides of the standard that we’d be creating,” she added.

There are two possible ways the court could go. With five conservative justices seemingly laser-focused on hypothetical future dangers imposed on the presidency by the threat of criminal charges, the case appeared headed to a result that would provide another Trump another delaying tactic. But the three liberals could join Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts, the most skeptical of the other five conservatives, and send the case back to trial with jury instructions limiting how the prosecution could use certain official acts in their case. That would allow the election interference case to go forward quickly.
>>
But it appeared that Trump’s lawyer believed he had won the day’s arguments. Following Dreeben’s responses, Sauer declined to give a rebuttal.

The court will decide the case by the end of its term, on June 30.

Trump and his court is conspiring to delay the trail so he won't be found guilty before the election so he can then steal the election and drop the charges against himself.

You're being disingenuous. No matter the race, including it in such a manner comes with its own respective connotations and implied meaning. We all know what anon means when he complains about someone while noting they're a Jew, the same way we all know what a SJW means when they complain about someone while noting they're white.

Agreed. Judicial activism is an unstable and unintended form of governance and the Dems are guilty of it far more often than Republicans, so much so that they tend to neglect to codify their victories into law and simply assume the rulings will always be upheld. But this observation doesn't mitigate the negative impact of lifetime appointments to the SCOTUS.

That is a policy clearly in bad faith. How do you operate like that in good conscience?

because the alternative of letting dems get an advantage is worse because its the official stance of the DNC to overturn heller.

>>1290224
So then are you banking on your opposition's unwillingness to play similarly unfairly in response, or hoping that if such practices were to come head-to-head your side would prevail? Either way it's a gambit, but moreover it doesn't seem like a tenable structure for a healthy society to govern itself.

I certainly agree that Heller was a rightful ruling, but I also think stooping to such measures as you're recommending are detrimental to long-term stability. Changing the system because it's flawed is valid, but changing it because you're losing is a subversive means to strip power from a legitimate source. If the Dems were to change it because they were momentarily disadvantaged, would you be so understanding? Or would you be outraged?

dems wouldn't be talking about "court reform" if they were winning. we both know this. Dems only think its a current problem because they are losing. Same thing with the EC. Same thing with how somehow gerrymandering isn't a problem in new england even though 0 republicans came out of that area for the house despite getting like a third of the vote there. I 100% guarantee if Thomas and Alito died today the dems would ram through 2 scotus picks and then refuse to "reform the courts" in anyway
> but moreover it doesn't seem like a tenable structure for a healthy society to govern itself.
the US isn't a healthy society, half the country hates the other half. this was made much worse by the scotus making it so only cities have a say in state governments

dems are literally talking about eliminating the filibuster and packing the court as a way to subvert the scotus and senate because they are currently losing. That is 100% all they care about.

I know. But I'm not asking about what Dems would do, I'm asking about what you would do and, moreover, how a society aught to engage in politics. My example was only just that; the competitors can be substituted or interchanged but the idea remains the same.
What you're describing is something I would expect at least some portion of either side of the aisle to attempt or ideate on, and is something that can only, and must, be halted by a principled majority that is less concerned with a short-term win and more concerned with a healthy and representative political arena.
>the US isn't a healthy society, half the country hates the other half.
You're right, and today it's at its worst in living memory. Other than one side brutally seizing power over the other (not ideal, at least in my opinion) or moving away from the two-party system (exceptionally hard to do with an established system already in place) it's hard to imagine how we can reconcile, but attempting to disenfranchise the opposition with underhanded measures will only make the tension worse.
>>
>>1290229
>be halted by a principled majority that is less concerned with a short-term win and more concerned with a healthy and representative political arena.
the dems literally do everything they can to fuck over republican voters at every turn. The dems also legit believe that within a few years they will get the nonwhite demographics to the point they won't lose elections. The issue with both the courts and senate are that dems fundamentally want a system more like the UK where cities have all the say in government and there is no constitution or bill of rights. a lot of policies dems want federally are super unpopular outside their cities/voter base and aren't supposed by the constitution. changing this shit only benefits them. status quo on the federal level benefits the GOP because as of right now there are 5 SCOTUS members and to a much lesser extent roberts, who are in favor of limiting federal power and upholding the constitution. Literally all heller says is
>owning a gun is an individual right outside militia service
>the government can't infringe on guns commonly used in self defense
>the government can enforce laws that prevent someone from owning a gun in their house and having access to it for self defense.
The dems think this is intolerable and want to overturn it. that means they don't believe the second amendment protect any rights and its why they want "court reform" because they want to be able to "amend" the constitution using the courts without going through the formal amendment process.
The issue has and always will be dems aren't acting in good faith and believe the ends justify the means. and that they should be able to use the federal government to impose regulations on everyone

Gerrymandering is bad when anyone does it as it fundamentally makes our system less democratic. Court packing/stacking is a potential natural consequence of democratic elections that is not bad in and of itself, but is bad as a natural consequence of a lack of term limits for justices.

And obviously any political process with negative outcomes is bad. So winning elections isn't bad, but Republicans winning elections is bad.

As it turns out, its illegal to look up what kinds of IDs and voting methods black people use the most and then ban those things in an attempt to stop black people from voting.

gerrymandering ensure as many people as possible are represented. highly competitive districts are fucking terrible because it means half of the people get disenfranchised. there is no such thing as a moderate in congress, go look at their voting records they all vote party like 85%+ of the time and the only time anyone ever defects is when it doesn't change the outcome of the vote anyway. a good example of that is when the dems voted to give the capital police more money. the squad COULD have nuked the bill, but strategically did no and present votes so it would pass by 1 vote

There's literally been dozens of democrat politicians over the last 4 years that were arrested and either charged with, or convicted of, various types of voter fraud having to do with abuse of the mail in vote system.

The most recent I hear of was 2 months ago or so where the dude was literally only caught because he was raided for financial fraud and the FBI found stacks of mail in ballots at his house and found out that he had registered a bunch of fake people and voted for himself using their names. Wasn't ever caught in any routine audit because this sort of shit can't be caught in routine audits, which only statistically verify through random sampling that the submitted votes were properly counted

>There's literally been dozens of democrat politicians over the last 4 years that were arrested and either charged with, or convicted of, various types of voter fraud having to do with abuse of the mail in vote system.
This really sheds light on the childishness of your worldview. I didn't ask for cherry picked articles about "various forms of fraud" that confirms your narrative. I asked for evidence that mail in voting is not secure or is succeptible to abuse or fraud. You can't provide the second - all you have is the stream of information you've been fed by right-wing media outlets to fuel your voter fraud narrative. You are a walking, talking chinese bank robber fallacy.

>The most recent I hear of was 2 months ago or so where the dude was literally only caught
Provide evidence, anon. Not stories. Data is built on evidence. Tangible proof that the institution of mail-in-voting is not secure. Not headlines you read on Newsmaxx.

>>1290380
>"The votes were rigged!"
>*audits find no evidence*

Honestly, you people are pathetic.
>>
>>1290382
They aren't designed to do that, either. I'm not going to bother sourcing examples of where this is proven to be bullshit, but there are tons where the election commissioners rig the "public audits" that are supposed to confirm exactly what you're talking about. They have the election workers perform the counts first, and if there's any "anomalies" they just don't include them in the audits.

If the point of the audit is to discover anomalies in the counts, and the people running the audit intentionally exempt them - what are the audits meant to accomplish, exactly? I would argue they only exist to convince the public that the elections are legitimate, and finding problems during the audit process accomplishes the exact opposite, doesn't it?

I'll take shit that didn't happen for 500.

Also, and this should go without saying, fake people can't register to vote. Most cases like what you're talking about involve someone using old people or ESLs tricked into either handing over their paperwork to someone that wants to use them to vote fraudulently. Also, it's usually fucking Republicans that get caught doing it cause of course that's who is going to prey on foreigners and the elderly. Also, forcing elderly people to the polls so nobody steals their vote is just going to disenfranchise a ton more of them. If your goal is to have elections represent the will of the fucking people (which it isn't), that's a shitty way to do it.

Also also, most fraud connected to elections is election fraud, not voter fraud, which voter ID will do jack shit about.

No, they don't, you fucking nutjob. Audits make sure the ballots cast equal the vote totals and the number of votes received equal the number of votes cast and that vote counting machines are working properly, as they are designed to do. And they work that way in every god damn state except Louisiana which produces no paper record of votes, likely all the better to disenfranchise Black people.

About the only thing they don't do is compare signatures to voter records because votes are required to be anonymized after being logged to prevent anyone facing reprisal for voting a particular way. This has been standard practice in America since 1888.

It is however worth noting that those signatures are checked on the fucking way in in the first damn place, you fucking idiot. Also, whether anyone in particular cast a ballot is both logged, and a matter of public record, even if their ballot isn't. This is also used to look for voting and registration irregularities. And abused by dipshits that don't understand 2 people can have the same name to gin up fake fraud controversies.

You realize that audit results are public and you're spouting nonsense, right?
>They have the election workers perform the counts first, and if there's any "anomalies" they just don't include them in the audits.
"anomalies" not included in the initial count obviously aren't going to be included in a fucking recount, you fucking idiot. Messed up ballots and shit are set aside and not counted until and unless the person that cast them comes in and cures them.

Also, a vote not being counted isn't going to be fucking stopped with voter id. I actually agree poll workers can be too aggressive with this shit and end up disenfranchising a ton of people, but this is an entirely separate issue.

If you think anything else is going on with "anomalies", you're a fucking idiot. Recounts have to publish new totals. Fraud via ballot manipulation at any scale would show up in a sudden large swing in votes which would then need to be explained. Also, again, not going to be stopped by fucking voter ID.

While it provides support for party candidates, it does not have direct authority over elected officials.[2] When a Democrat is president, the White House controls the Committee.

Once again, we'll probably have actual legal scholars -- left, right, and center -- explaining why presidential immunity needs to be a thing that's readily applied (can't be criminally prosecuted for actions during war, etc.), but people still won't be able to wrap their heads around it. The question is what Trump was or wasn't doing that's actually under the purview of the president of the United States. The people who are mad at the idea of any form of presidential immunity or mad because SCOTUS needs to carefully go over the ramifications here aren't thinking correctly.

1. That's election fraud
2.
>There were no “fake” voters or dead people registered to vote, according to San Joaquin County deputies, who said Khan’s focus was winning his own election to the nonpartisan Lodi City Council, which oversees a population of about 67,000.

>While running for City Council in 2020, Khan pressured people to vote for him, sometimes registering them to vote, filling out ballots for them, forging their signatures and collecting their information without their knowledge of his intent to illegally vote on their behalf, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, which conducted the investigation that led to his arraignment last year.
Fucking idiot.

Nobody believes presidents shouldn't have special exemptions; the libshits think only Democrat presidents should qualify. You can see it plainly here with the faggots that will excuse Obama drone striking a 16 year old US citizen without trial in Yemen, a country we shouldn't even be in.

But all is forgiven if you're a Democrat.

Well, whatever your cope is now I don't care.
The dude committed some flavor of fraud involving sending in illegal votes for himself and was caught by accident because he was raided for commiting democrat fraud in other areas of his life as well

Don't care what your cope is. Living people, fake people, it doesn't matter. The system was unable to proactively detect his fraud.

Yes, my entire argument hinges on the fact that you need valid living breathing voters to be registered, for them not to vote, and for you to get your hands on those ballots. Making any large scale voter fraud attempt impossible and our elections secure enough to have confidence in their outcomes. Half of what you said happened, just flat out didn't happen.

The very idea that fake people were voting is ridiculous and would imply a radical weakness in our voting system. This motherfucker had to personally involve dozens of people in a small community in an amateurish scheme that ended up discovered.

Eat a dick.

>Eat a dick.
Let's be clear before you start eating a dick, anon
I said:
>The most recent I hear of was 2 months ago or so where the dude was literally only caught because he was raided for financial fraud and the FBI found stacks of mail in ballots at his house and found out that he had registered a bunch of fake people and voted for himself using their names. Wasn't ever caught in any routine audit because this sort of shit can't be caught in routine audits, which only statistically verify through random sampling that the submitted votes were properly counted
And literally the only word I had wrong in there when I typed it from memory was "fake" when I should have said "unknowing"

That literally makes 99% of what I said 100% accurate, the only thing that was "fake" was the addresses of the voters he registered to vote for him, not the people themselves

It's pretty obvious all of these frivolous lawsuits will eventually get thrown out anyway, The only purpose of these fake charges and lawsuits is to stop him from being president. The SCOTUS is just putting their foot down to stop the clown show.

Tranny, I know you're arguing in bad faith, but it is possible to have fake and frivolous charges filed as criminal charges for political purposes. It doesn't matter if you file 100 fake criminal charges against a person if none of them are real and they all get thrown out in court.

retarded leftists didn't even watch the trial. Supreme court justices asked why trump is being trialed when previous presidents who did much worst weren't this was the procecutor's answer " it wasn't a crime then but it would be today"

Aka special rules by the leftists to prosecute a political opponent.

Also anyone following the prostitute payment trial knows its complete bullshit they're trying to say he influenced the election by paying off a prostitute because it would've led to female voters not liking him knowing he hired a prostitute. Tax evasion to pay a prostitute is just a misdemeanor not a felony so they tried to up it and it just looks pathetic
