The immunity is contingent on Supreme Court micromanaging so in practice, Biden could be criminally liable while a current Court friendly President like Trump would be found immune.

Nixon resigned under threat of impeachment and possible criminal liability (hence the pardon). Since impeachment is now impossible, adding criminal immunity removes all constraint.

Almost 80 Ortega should support Russia given what our CIA was doing there in his 20s, 30s, 40s…basically his entire life.

Franken resigned in 2018 and it colored every election while Trump was still president. As someone who was alive then, the moral authority Franken’s resignation provided most certainly influenced voters in 2020.

The root of Fascism is faction not billionaires utopia. Factions focus on the biggest “other” faction once they can ignore the factionless.

Our equivalent would be Democrats abandoning costly, both in money and voter apathy, primaries against their actual left members. See Latimar’s alienating attacks on Bowman in Westchester NY. This and Hochul’s screwup on congestion pricing could hand NY State to Trump. see Latimer and Bowman

They all think they will be holding the long knives, not impaled by them. This is the root of “The meek shall inherit the earth” as the powerful always succumb to killing each other.

And the acceptance of that description shall be the under the sole jurisdiction of the Supreme Court only, on a case by case basis, making prosecutions take as long or as short as these 6 six individuals desire. Iran’s Guardian Council must be their model.

And pivot to attacking Democrats for forcing an incumbent President to retire because of ageism. Of course it will be laundered through “left-wing” talking heads.

Wasn’t Cohen paid back after the election? President-Elect can be argued to already have official duties including protecting the image of the office by paying off a lawyer who paid of a porn star.

It means the Supreme Court gets to decide each and every attempt to try a current or former President for any crime. Without a clear line of demarcation on “official acts”, they will have to micromanage the Presidents legal affairs. Just like the Founders intended.

The focus on “What Trump will do…” distracts from this all being the exact goal of the Unitary Executive. Which is just rebranded Monarchy.

CEO’s would rather payoff 5 guys than 51% of 535, and the new legal costs will be far less than current compliance with safety and anti-fraud standards. Of course they forget the power of the market. Just ask the fresh lettuce market after ten recalls.

My guess: it will be a punt back to the lower courts that the media can report as “Court Denies Trump Immunity Claim”, while delaying the trials until after he’s either a two-time loser or dictator.

It’s time we accepted that former Republicans want Romney on the Democratic ticket and we want Bernie Sanders. Biden is the bipartisan American choice that defeats the fascists.

Democrats should lean into Old Joe. Have him go Hot Ones and only eat the celery and blue cheese. Show him bike from his house to his neighbor’s, two doors down, and then drinking a beer with the neighbor in their pool.
