The Supreme Court rules that Trump has "absolute immunity" from criminal prosecution for all "official acts" he took while in office. The vote is 6–3.

You're viewing a single thread.
My liberal coworkers are coping by "well that's fine because unofficial acts can still be prosecuted"
I could love to live with this level of delusion
Yeah I've seen the same take.
Are they really stupid enough to think that Trump (and future Republicans) wouldn't just label everything an official act as a direct consequence?
Edit: I mean he could quite literally go on 5th Avenue now if reelected, declare "I, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AM OFFICIALLY BLOWING IT OUT YOUR ASS" and gun someone down.
🤣
good thing the decision doesn't cover that base by saying exercises of constitutional authority are official acts lmao
Ask them if the verdict for those unofficial acts can still be appealed to the Supreme Court lmao
Sorry sweaty whether or not an act is official is a political decision and not subject to review by the courts
Ah, well nevertheless
