Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

The right wing cannot & will not accept that party affiliation wasn’t the reason for Trump’s legal mess. All who enter politics are scrutinized—he made bigger messes due to ego. SCOTUS apparently now responds to cases on the basis of party. It’s the only explanation I can come up with.

the thing I dont get is why our "leaders" have decided that the Supreme Court is more important than the law. Like as you say: this is nowhere in the constitution; the obvious response is to call it the unfounded BS it is, state that the SC is not above the constitution which empowers it(1/2)
