There seems to be news related to Trump's claims of "being immune from any prosecution while in office". The Court has agreed that he is immune when in official acts. However he is not if unofficial.
Now it is for the lower court to decide what were official acts and which ones were not. While this confers a degree of victory to Trump, he also get a way in which he can be prosecuted.
This means that any future president - as long as acting in his official capacity could very well kill his political opponents. I suggest that given this ruling, Biden could in his official capacity, order the SEALs to kill Trump... you know... official acts so ok...
https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-due-rule-trumps-immunity-bid-blockbuster-case-2024-07-01/The justices, in a 6-3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, threw out a lower court's decision that had rejected Trump's claim of immunity from federal criminal charges involving his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. The six conservative justices were in the majority. Its three liberals dissented.
So, from now on it is absolutely OK for any president to send a murderous mob to the Capitol or the Congress... it is all fine, just do it.A lawyer for his office told the Supreme Court during arguments that the "absolute immunity" sought by Trump would shield presidents from criminal liability for bribery, treason, sedition, murder and, as in this case, trying to overturn the proper results of an election and stay in power.
I wonder what the Supreme Court is fuc**ing thinking.
The court analyzed four categories of conduct contained in Trump's indictment. They are: his discussions with Justice Department officials following the 2020 election; his alleged pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence to block congressional certification of Biden's election win; his alleged role in assembling fake pro-Trump electors to be used in the certification process; and his conduct related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
The court found Trump was absolutely immune for conversations with Justice Department officials. Trump is also "presumptively immune" regarding his interactions with Pence, it decided, but returned that and the two other categories to lower courts to determine whether Trump has immunity.
So it is OK to plot to overturn an election and not certifying the new president.
