@Mott-The-Hoople saidApparently not if it falls within a president's official duties.
you know abuse of power is a crime right?
@Earl-of-Trumps saidThe irony here is thick as Metal Brain.
It's a good example of the liberal thinking, AJoe.
They scream like stuck pigs when things don't go their way.
And... it is this very type of thinking that scares me because the democrats are surely a party that wants dictatorship.
And they will CHEAT like hell to take total control
The democratic party is a criminal gang and a direct threat to American democracy.
@AverageJoe1 saidSo can a president start wheeling out the guillotine for his political enemies?
You silly goose. You faierie libs think that SCOTUS changes or creates things!!!!!!!!!!!!! All they do is protect equal justice under the law of the Constitution. A good example is the taking abortion to the states, and all that that entailed. Piece of cake, wish I would have thought of it.
You say here..."A dem president can do the exact same thing now and tomorr ...[text shortened]... gs, it is unbelievable. The president is not a Person, he is a president..He is an OFFICE. Jesus.;
@AverageJoe1 saidDemocracy is not personal.
Case IN Point: This insipid post of Zahlanizi. He speaks on a PERSONAL level, The chance that one party would 'go after' another party, another person, another senator, another president for some personal reason. Personal . All personal. I am proven right once again you touchy feeely libs are so personal about feeling and offending and such crap. AOC today is maaaaa ...[text shortened]... nt outside the 4 corners of the Constitution. If you don't, then, they win. The ruling is correctl
It's pretty much the definition.
@AverageJoe1 saidHere's the decision, read it all you want.
All due respects to you and SHouse, y'all have a hobby I guess of doing research all day, I research the WSJ and then live my life, and give a lot to society. Trust me. You two could prob score a doctorate in your research fields.
So I, unlike the justices who took months to answer this very question that you are putting to me, have, with minds more learned than my own ...[text shortened]... al grounds. 3 libs. Did they not read the constitution? Did their neighbors tell them how to vote?
You won't find any provision in the Constitution quoted by the majority that gives immunity to the President.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidWTF?
who said it was a constitutional issue?
ahhh…no one, you are making something up to argue against 😂
weak
Of course the issue is Constitutional, what else would it be based on?
Here's what the majority said since they couldn't find any actual provision supporting immunity:
"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. "
p. 6 of the Opinion of the Court
@no1marauder saidSeems way too broad.

You fvcking hypocrite.

You fvcking hypocrite.
Biden made a speech last night how he upholds the law, and that the ruling will allow presidents to not follow the law.
So,. can you tell us if he is lying, since he clearly violates the law, and constitution, by ignoring SCOTUS when they told him that he DOES NOT have the power to pay the money to reduce student tuition loans.
More to my point..........>WHY will you (and Sonhouse) not answer this question?
@AverageJoe1 saidBecause your question is framed in a way that it can’t be answered seriously.
SHav, while I have you.....

Biden is correct. The supreme court’s decision is the first step to authoritarianism, dictatorships and/ or king.
@shavixmir saidAww, shoot. You did not tell me if Biden lies when he says he upholds the law. Did you see where SCOTUS told him he has NO power to take our tax money (treasury....the govt has NO money). and use it at his Discretion!?!? In this particular case, he applied $600B to tuition loans. So, he violated the law, he cannot do that, only Congress can.
Because your question is framed in a way that it can’t be answered seriously.
Biden is correct. The supreme court’s decision is the first step to authoritarianism, dictatorships and/ or king.
So please tell your audience if Biden, first, violated the law, and secondly, lied when he said he didn't. What is wrong w you libs who will not stick to an issue. Can you answer this??
@AverageJoe1
Hey, Marauder , are you there? My point to Shav above suggests the very question you've asked me...Where in the Constitution does it give a president the power to, at his own discretion for his own personal reasons, spend billions of dollars with no congress approvals?
You will not answer this question, because there is no answer. And, you will not respond.
