Robert ReichTRUMP: I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody…
SUPREME COURT: Sure. Seems reasonable.
MemphisDaPlaya 🎲🎲By that, can Biden hang insurrectionists on the Capitol lawn?
Humain@rbreich and this happens during a supposed to be democrat presidency... Imagine what would happen under a Trumpism presidency
Sinnistergrin@HumainVirtuel @rbreich they did this now because the upcoming election is fixed. I’m convinced.
nonlinear@rbreich Kinda. it's more "only if I agree". They decide what's lawful now. on a case-by-case scenario.

the court gave itself the power to determine which actions can be prosecuted and which cannot by making itself the final arbiter of what is “official” and what is not. It's not "president is above the law" but "president reports to supreme court" It's a coup, peeps. It's a coup. https://kottke.org/24/07/supreme-court-zero-days-since-last-incident
shanenI didn't particularly want to outlive Ben Franklin's republic.
I actually blame Ford when he put Nixon above the law. Not for the good of the nation. For the defense of THE PARTY in the worst Bolshevik tradition. I think today's fake Republicans would shoot Abe Lincoln, too.
SammyGalen@rbreich Waaaaaaaaaaiiid a minute! The president of the United States can shoot someone (and not get prosecuted), but can't lie to a grand jury?

Martin Jost@SammyGalen @rbreich Would it help, if he shoots the jury members?
climate voter/radical oldie@rbreich He could shoot everybody every day of his administration.
Lucienne Kennedy@rbreich especially if it’s an official capacity or could be perceived to be even remotely tangential to official duties.
Jaime Robertson@rbreich Listening to NPR this afternoon avout about how Donnie intends to get the homeless and drug addicts off the street. My thought was now he’ll be able to put them into concentration camps. Just for starters.
𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒆𝑮. 🇺🇸@rbreich Perhaps the most radical Supreme Court in our nation's history. It's time to dissolve their den of corruption. Term limits and an impeachment process decided by a national referendum.
