“We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count,” the judges wrote in the decision. (The Hill)
“We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter. Careful evaluation of these concerns leads us to conclude that there is no functional justification for immunizing former Presidents from federal prosecution in general or for immunizing former President Trump from the specific charges in the Indictment.” (The Hill)
I had one of those “WHACK ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD,” moments today as brief headlines flashed across my phone, concerning TRUMPISM and his malicious, malignant, malevolent, and manic, machinations as to why he should be considered King of America, permitted to commit any and all crimes against the Constitution and of course the citizens of this nation. As each and every argument arose by the team of Trump-eze attorneys and his cadre of clowns as to how suddenly the President of the United States should be IMMUNE from, say EVERY ACTION, no matter how criminal or treasonous it might be, I thought…what if!
Let’s say that the Supreme Court (THE FOLKS WHO ACTUALLY DO NOT ABIDE BY ANY LAWS OR CODE OF CONDUCT FROM WHICH THE REST OF US ARE SUPPOSED TO OBEY) agrees that Herr Trump/Il Dulce Trump/Chairman Trump/HRH Trump is cool with fucking over the Constitution and inciting a Coup, and does have supreme powers to lie, cheat, steal, and pillage, meaning that in their opinion America can have a Dictator…then, and when that jurisdiction comes to fruition, I say, that maybe Joe Biden, while still President, use those newly gained powers and decide that TRUMP as a Traitor should be sent to jail, hung, or executed.
Think about it for a mere moment. If Trump can decide to create Marshall Law, circumvent the Constitution for his own gain, and ignore any and all laws…and if the Supreme Court gives the go-ahead, then I say President Joe Biden, go ahead and do the same thing to your perceived enemies!
