And is anyone going to do anything about this man?

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 23 points 5 months ago

The Supreme Court just granted immunity to President Biden, so he can send him and the other traitors to Guantanamo without fear of legal repercussions. Of course not, nothing’s going to happen.

This seems to be a common misconception.

The Supreme Court did not give Biden immunity. They gave the president immunity for carrying out official acts. Who determines what an official act is? The Supreme Court.

Biden doesn't have immunity. I'd argue he doesn't have immunity as president, either.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 11 points 5 months ago

That’s the thing about this though. I’d like to see them try to prevent that from within Guantanamo. It’s not legal neither moral, yet it can’t be stopped using the law.

True, but Republicans seem to have taken the position that you can do whatever you want while the consequences work their way through the courts.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

And if Biden were a conservative he'd have immunity.

Biden would die of old age before he ever saw a prison cell.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

So... next week?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

He has it if he wants it. He just has to gulag the justices. By the time the case makes it to the supreme court, it's all his own people. "Oh why yes, a president certainly can gulag whoever he deems an enemy of the state."

[-] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Kind of hard to rule from a jail cell, and I'm guessing that he'd have died of old age by the time something like this was ruled on, regardless. I say, go out with a legacy of giving the court (and the GOP) what they deserve.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent "justice"?

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah... they are impeaching him.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

With the Republicans holding the House? Lmao

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Didn't say it would work.

[-] PythagreousTitties@lemm.ee -3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Who held the House during Trumps impeachments? I honestly don't remember, but I guess I'm assuming it was the Democrats.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

It was, and even if they had a slim majority it doesn't matter. To actually remove a Justice they'd need a 2/3 vote supermajority in the Senate.

[-] PythagreousTitties@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Thanks. Yeah it's not going to happen, sadly.

(And thank you for not harping on whatever the hell that autocorrect error was lol holy hell)

I'm not going to hold my breath.
