Reupping my piece from a couple of weeks ago on how SCOTUS has made it easier, not harder, for bad faith presidents to go after their predecessors www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Far from deterring such prosecutions, the court’s 2024 decision has made them easier.
How frustrated must the members of this "strike force" be? There's nothing there but they're forced to meet regularly to pretend that there MIGHT be. "What a waste" is probably their daily mantra.
John Roberts is a racist. His family is racist.
He should be impeached.
We have to go after enablers who don’t have that immunity.
They gave him way too much power, now he has a god complex
🤬
Then.....wouldn't Biden and Obama also have retroactive immunity as well, or is that immunity only for RepubliKKKan assholes who appoint a third of the current SCOTUS?
It was for djt, they're all in this project 2025 thing together and they knew he would win, hell, that's why they found a way to keep him on the ballots of the states that didn't want him on their ballots.
The country is ruined.
Worst decision ever
Mark my words - at least three SCROTUS judges will be impeached and thrown out in the post-Dotard administration.
We all know Obama and Biden don’t have immunity, right!?
If any SC Justice dies, Trump will appoint a 27 year old. My money is on Karoline Leavitt She has a BA (Bullshit Artist)
This SCOTUS has helped to destroy the United States, in only about six months. Whatever you call it, it is not United in any way. Our government has destroyed democracy, killed innocent people, and basically turned America into the world's largest banana republic. How long to finish the job?
SCOTUS is a Russian asset; impeach 6 justices now! But trump doesn't get to fill the impeached justices.
Such an abhorrent ruling. Truly undemocratic and unconstitutional.
This man This adolescent punk Seething for revenge Crypto back ally deals ongoing with those he feels owe him money because he says so .
💯
The ruling was to give Trump Carter Blanche. If Trump leaves office and is replaced by anyone other than another pro-oligarchy fascist they will just as quickly reverse themselves.
Personally, I am looking forward to the day when one of his precious 6 on the court pisses him off and he goes gangster on them. Or gets "personal" with Barrets' younger children. They might get it then
Welll because rogue prosecutors are worse 🙄
What an absolute disaster of a human
There is no SCOTUS, there has not been a SCOTUS for some time. A criminal court is not a court, a country without a court is not a country.
AG reads your piece and goes, "wait, no downside? Even with this frivolous stuff? SUMMON THE GRAND JURY! ... um, quick sidebar; this stuff is not going to come back to bite us on the off chance Democrats regain power, is it? People around the boss have this weird tendency of ending up in jail."
Wait… isn’t there presidential immunity??? Stupid!
Mayyyyybe if all former presidents had had an exemplary moral standing, we could understand why SCOTUS might make this decision, but they had an example of how it could go horribly wrong right in front of their noses! Are they stupid or compromised or evil?
The ONLY President (bad faith or otherwise) these rulings are for is Donald Trump, full stop. They were never meant to, and will never, apply to anyone else, ESPECIALLY a Democrat.
That picture clarifies further that we are just highly devolved apes who all await the demise of the alpha, hoping to get a piece of him ourselves when the crucial eventual misstep occurs. But nobody has the balls to actually initiate it...
they should sue the pants off him
This really shows where our fight must go after we 8647.
Dumb asshole Trump’s MAGA gave Obama immunity too. SMART ASSES.
Expand and reform the court. Few actually trust it anymore. It's a kangaroo court now.
Yes this Biden is a dam fool He had the worst advice ever from his own Team of lawyers
They say he did not have Congress and Trump arrested for a coup was the day he failed himself abc the country
I’m not sure which is the bigger danger to our republic: the Orange Menace, or the SCOTUS 6
Leaning toward the latter
The Roberts’ court’s legacy continues to blossom.
Absolutely.
The SCOTUS Fascist 6!
Video game developers do more quality assurance, intellectual, functional, overpower & glitch testing due diligence on games than this Supreme Court does on balancing the powers of the (ostensibly) co-equal branches of government.
🎯✌🏼🇺🇸🇺🇦
That face🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 every time I see that face, I breaking into laughter The Lyin king
Was there ever any question as To their intention only to give Trump immunity? It was always for Trump and Trump alone.
Exactly. This ruling allows any current President to act in bad faith against his current and past political enemies, without fear of any legal consequences to himself, beyond impeachment.
Uhh, this is not news
The Roberts court is complicit in the crime of stripping the United States of its’ democracy. That is the stunning truth.
Thanks for writing and posting this article!
This is a crucial perspective—our highest court’s decisions can deeply impact the balance of power and accountability in ways many don’t immediately see.
As much as I liked Biden, I wish the dark side of him had come out and had Rump and his enablers arrested because we wouldn't be in this predicament if he had done the right thing. SCOTUS permitted him but he didn't use it.
Thanks for giving me hope in the #TrumpDarkAges. I want him to live long enough to be sentenced for all his felony convictions, but I would not say no to more of them.
Pres. Donald Trump may pardon Sean 'Diddy' Combs ahead of sentencing in his sex trafficking trial. Here's what we know.
The current Roberts court is the MOST CORRUPT Supreme Court in our nation's history. Trump even thanked Roberts publicly and Roberts replied "no problem".
Seems to be a playbook

Stop flag humping institutions and politicians. It’s why they took Americans for fools. Treat them all like the traitors that they are.
Remember those legal pundits back in 2016 climaxing over institutions and guardrails 🤦♂️🤮🤦♂️
Well it should all come out in the wash because Biden and Obama would have the same immunity.
If they have immunity what can you go after them for?
This will apply to Trump too. Can’t wait
Yes!
John Roberts is the most singularly monumental person I have ever heard of as far as someone who thinks he understands the consequences of something but completely gets it backwards with unintended consequences.
Ok, so 2028, Trumb and SCOTUS may have to move to Russia, if there is still a Russia.
When Americans finally rise and declare war they will go after the higher chains of government before anyone else.
Tell me if you would have loved it if it had made going after Trump easier?
Republicans ignore the rule of law all the time, so as a country, we should give the "supreme court" a big middle finger.

Because some day the fat fuck will be out of the WH.
Every ruling from the roberts court is to protect trump and the billionaires and corporations who own the republicans on the court. Period.
I don’t like the precedent this sets, either. But when Trump becomes a former president, given his corruption, a good faith president should go after him.
Democratic systems do not have proper tools to counter bad faith. Using democracy as leverage to enter autocracy.
That immunity ruling was meant for one man and one man only
Yes. See my pin. 🤬
Sounds like Obama along with the Texas democrats all need to go into hiding. We could raise funds for those reps that are losing so much money fleeing the state.
“Bad faith presidentS”? We really haven’t one before now. Not even Nixon’s crimes come close to this.
Just wait for the Democrats to get control of all 3 branches of government!
I h8te the SCOTUS six they're MAGAts despicable cowards working for Liar-in-Chief not the American People & We will never yield to cowards
Well considering no president has ever been a bad faith president before this best friend of Epstein…
We need more articles about how this specific president was allowed to run again after trying to overthrow our government after he lost 2020. None of this that’s happening now- should be happening.
yes but! those who would fabricate evidence and misuse their office for political revenge do NOT have immunity. The President’s minions risk disbarment or prison while their task master would walk free (just as he always has)
John Roberts looks kinda normal but he is, in fact, a scoundrel..in my opinion.
📌
Johnny and the Supremes crowned him King.
What in the last 25 years would ever have made you think that they would make it harder not easier?
Roberts is an embarrassment.
I’m skeptical that this is an accurate description of the reason behind their immunity ruling. #complicit
The immunity ruling was exactly that — a license for Trump to act criminally without consequences.
Kinda like SCOTUS.
that's why our main focus, if we ever win again, should be to impeach Clarence Thomas for the corruption and expand the court. Biden didn't even try, i know he didn't have lots of power at the time but he should have tried
Donald Trump was treated very unfairly by the Democrat lawfare before the election. All the lies told about Russia are exposed now and those who participated in this fraud against America need to pay.
He should have been arrested on Jan 7th.
This won’t go over at their Nuremberg trials.
Without a soul, warm heart, or ounce of joy, The "Trump-effect" is happy to create... La misérables!
Gone are Health-Care, SNAP, Medicaid, Housing, and Cash assistance.
I wish Joe Biden would have used the immunity ruling to put this orange motherfucker away.
we must have a SUPER Majority of Dems in Congress to reign in John Roberts corrupt, immediately impeach trump corrupt judges
Boycott T-Mobile, Elon & Starlink !!!
We can't use T-mobile & other cell companies, being connected to Starlink !!!!
In late June, after Elon said trump was in the Epstein files, he donated 5 million to trump 🤔
We MUST find alternative cells companies, Maga/Ice is LISTENING 👀
Unintended something or other.
Take a look at the Genocide Convention. Americans have prosecutorial immunity unless their government consents to their prosecution. That may be how chump forces previous presidents to toe the line.
Trump owns the Supreme Court, so why would you think they would turn on him. Just look at the majority of them and all the bribes they have accepted. They have immunity to everything they do.
Does that mean that the next President can do the same to Trump?
Unless there will not be another President.
These toxic traits, found in past ruling classes, are now surfacing. Donald Trump as the narcissist, Vladimir Putin as the psychopath, and Xi Jinping as the Machiavellian, the most powerful leaders on Earth now embody the very traits that historically trigger collapse.
Don't worry, after the game show host, they'll make sure no future president can easily prosecute the criminals who enabled him...
Ostensibly? Total BS. SCOTUS knew exactly what they were doing
Today's Supremacy Court (day after day after day after day after day after day, ad nauseam: Gee, we never thought he'd do that!
When they give Bull O'Conner immunty...their relevent die. Treasnous bitches.
😡💕😡🤬🤬
Do the Justices who enabled this recognize the harm they've personally done to our country? I wonder how they sleep at night.
Think Trump is dangerous? John Roberts is malicious destruction
Weasel headed fart
Kinda reminds you of Citizens United, eh? Tried to get money out of politics, but opened floodgates instead. Now they try to insulate the Presidency and instead weaponize the Presidency. Hope this time it ends differently.
Never needed immunity for the president until a convicted felon got elected.
the truth of
Charlamagne tha God
God, I hate that face!
I wonder if it applies just to future presidents? One wonders. I can see them refining the decision to preclude past presidents so Donnie can go after Bill, Barack and Joe.
LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: REPUBLICANS ARE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR DEMOCRACY. THEY ARE LOYAL TO TRUMP AND TRUMP ONLY. DEMS ARE NOT. THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION. SO DEMS, STOP EATING YOUR OWN AND USE THAT ENERGY TO WORK TO GET ALL REPUBLICANS OUT. AIM YOUR PUBLIC DISSATISFACTION AT R'S NOT D'S
He’s showing you how… such a little man! Big men just walk away
Alito, Roberts and Thomas all knew and planned for this immunity decision to work out the way it did.
