The Supreme Court heard arguments today regarding Trump's immunity case. While absolute immunity seems to be somewhat off the table, several justices sought to label certain acts as having immunity. - 04/26/2024.

(5,456 posts)just a gentle re-think of past events, nothing drastic mind, just enough legal lubricant to let TSF stay out of jail and ascend the throne in the Oval Office.
(And the Immunity Medicine had better be retrospective, fast acting and quick fading, so Joe doesn't get any ideas.)
Oh, the rewards the Supreme Court Clowns think are coming their way!
Transparent motivation is self-serving and very transparent.
Watching with interest to see what the SCOTUS clown circus will come up with.
Will I be astounded by their intelligence and insight, or will I just giggle like a 12 year old girl?
(Disclaimer: Not a 12 year old girl. Opposite of that.)
(Insert mental picture of a leaky rowboat called 'SCOTUS' with 6 unfit occupants bailing out water and rowing for their lives.)

(6,940 posts)in her Substack newsletter, "Civil Discourse," that the Court can be swayed by a hypothetical, especially one that brings it home to them. Sotomayor's hypo was good, but I think would have been even better if she had said "So then, if a President decided that a judge or a Justice was corrupt, he could order that Justice assassinated and face no consequences." Particularly since several Justices are being exposed as corrupt, notably Thomas and Alito, and even to a lesser degree Roberts, judicial corruption cannot be far from their minds, I think that might have helped. (And they would never think of it themselves - i'm not sure what to call the trait that is lacking, but men just don't think that way - sure, everyone thinks "it can't happen to me" at such a basic level they don't even know they are thinking it, but enough women have been victims for a long enough history that we are more likely to consider it)

(206,332 posts)If, on the ridiculous chance that the (male) majority rules with TFG, they would have failed to consider what would happen to SCOTUS if the authoritarian rule that he has threatened ever came to pass. If he can legally assassinate "opponents," what would prevent him from dissolving the courts and legally assassinate the justices as well??
