Judges make stuff up I guess.

Fortunately we have a court that rectified that mistake.

A court with judges? Please.

A judge interprets the law. He doesn’t make it.

Not anymore. After Chevron, Judges will be making administrative rules. After today, judges will define what is and is not considered "official acts" of the president.

Republican judges make stuff up to protect the powerful.

You disagree with their interpretation of the law. Eh, it happens.

The judges in 1973 literally made up Roe vs Wade out of thin air.

Ok sure. These judges are special, not like those 1973 judges.

Yes, SCOTUS today didn’t make up a law complete with breakdown of regulations by trimester. Why is this all confusing to you? Interpreting the constitution isn’t making up legislation.

The SCOTUS today made up a law that gives absolute immunity to the president.

Eventually different judges will have a different interpretation. Stinks that trump may be gone before we can get some better judges on SCOTUS. But everything about trump stinks.

The simple solution to this is the executive Branch deciding not to enforce the court’s decision

Totally bizarre reading of the opinion. Today, SCOTUS took away absolute immunity for various specified circumstances. Including an insurrection.

Time for Joe to order the DOJ to drop all the charges against Hunter.

No he isn’t. The courts (ultimately the Supreme Court) will decide if whatever he did is protected. And what do you think they’ll decide?

He was already found guilty.

Dems need to stop the hand-wringing and use the next few months to ensure that the Dems stay in power. Biden has immunity, too, now.

So that Trump's DoJ can file even more serious charges against Hunter that were left out come January.

I think they - meaning the lower courts - judge the merits and decide on a case by case basis whether a president’s action is covered or not, but hopefully all this Dem initiated lawfare dies down and we don’t have to keep going to the judiciary for these battles. Dems need to win at the ballot box not try to put their opponents in jail. Especially when Hilary (campaign finance) and Biden (documents) are doing the same things.

Joe would pardon him before then, especially in light of this ruling.

Biden doesnt necessarily have immunity because the Supreme Court decides.

January 21, 2025 - That January.

Part of me hopes Biden does something crazy just to show how crazy this ruling is. Because the ruling was obviously made with trump in mind, knowing that Biden is levelheaded and wouldn't do anything rash. But if he has impunity, why not do something just to show the court what a Pandora's box they have opened

There was never absolute immunity for anyone, including the president. So conferring any immunity at all is a loss for the American people.
