Look if Dems kick Biden, they better win that's all I'm saying. It's a bad move in general. Biden is the incumbent and it means he'd still likely carry.

If you're a law professor and you can't say this one is just egregiously dangerous anti-democratic ruling nobody should take you seriously in this country. It's obvious this was an awful decision, nobody should be mixing words. The three part test is there to fool everyone.

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

Today, let us remember the gift we were given. From the French Revolution to the Declaration, Lincolns calm hand and MLKs incredible courage. This country has a promise not yet fulfilled--equality under the law. Let us renew our resolve to a country by the people and for the people.

Yeah Sotomayor citing Korematsu is accurate. This will be a decision either looked back on in abject disgust after a horrific catastrophic event or there will no longer be a government we recognize like today.

People are focusing way too much on assassinations. Remember the actual official conduct they said has absolute immunity was trump telling his DOJ to do fraudulent investigations into the election. In no democratic world should a President be able to do that.

That's this decision in a nutshell. They 100% think Trump trying to steal an election is a partisan prosecution by Bidens DOJ. Six justices have put their own unfounded political fears ahead of the entire 250 year legal structure.

SCOTUS said they are worried about factions and political prosecution. They discarded the very idea that courts and juries are capable of evidence based analysis. Instead the new rule is "we'll decide" with saying the President is acting officially when ordering fraudulent orders to the DOJ.

Yeah I love how they replaced criminal law and all its precedent with "we'll handle this wink wink (politically)!" Brilliant move from brilliant jurists, James Madison was a fool he didn't see this. 250 years without this how did we survive

I guess what upset me the most with all this "is this a reasonable line to draw" is the court said that committing fraud via the DOJ to stop and election was an official act. In any reasonable world that's insanely bonkers and massive threat to a democracy.

If you're entirely focused on Biden's debate performance, you're missing the real story. Yesterday's SCOTUS decision *fundamentally* changed the nature of the presidency -- and the nation.

It isn't. OLC probably has the memo on the desk for this after this ruling. Just remember the majority already said that a President can tell the DOJ to commit fraudulent investigations to steal an election as an official act. It's a matter of votes/politics at this point which is very bad.

SCOTUS ended Constitutional rule yesterday. They made up a foundationally different system. Joe Biden needs to realize this and the imminent threat it poses. He needs to take affirmative actions under this new system to stop it before its too late

Look I'm of the firm belief that the President does need to take up the courts broad powers and use them now. He needs to do this immediately so the powers aren't used later on against immigrants or protestors. We don't need a Korematsu 2 or people randomly shot by the military.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Honestly I don't think anyone's realizes how bad this ruling can be under a GOP President. He can just commit crimes now with impunity. They already said he specifically can direct investigations via the DOJ specifically in the opinion, which is not the case!
