Democrats Hint At Assassination In Response To Supreme Court Immunity Decision



Nobody likes to lose but leftists take indignant defeat to a whole new level. Though they claim to "defend democracy" in their spare time, Democrats also have a tendency to abandon the democratic process when that process interferes with their intentions to remain in power.

Case in point: The Supreme Court's recent decision to give immunity from prosecution to Donald Trump in the case of "some official acts" taken during his tenure in office. Leftists have responded with outrage at the 6-3 decision with much of their political hopes resting on the strategy of burying Trump in as many legal battles as possible to keep him from running for president again. Democrats are now flooding social media and the news feeds with suggestions that the SC decision makes it possible for Joe Biden as president to eliminate the conservative competition "as a part of his official duties."

“President Biden, acting within the scope of his official duties, could dispatch the military to take out the conservative justices on the Court” - Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA)

The tools for legally punishing presidents already exist, including impeachment and charges of treason. And, keep in mind, if Trump does not have immunity for previous actions as president, then neither does any other president. How many skeletons are in the closets of men like Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or Barack Obama?

Beyond this, assassination of a political opponent or the conservative members of the Supreme Court is not recognized as an official duty of the presidency. Democrats, as usual, take their conclusions to the dramatic extreme in order to provoke public fear through emotionally energized disinformation. Leftists have been fantasizing publicly about murdering Trump for some time now. However, these "theories" on how Biden could respond to the Supreme Court are not simple hypotheticals for the sake of argument, there is an element of desperation and bloodlust.



What they are really upset about is the fact that Trump is free and clear to finish his election race against a mentally deficient Joe Biden. They're also terrified that Trump might return the favor and seek revenge if he goes back to the Oval Office.

Van Jones and Democrats irate about the SCOTUS immunity ruling aren’t being serious.

There’re already tools to hold presidents accountable.

Impeachment, removal and being tried for treason.

Three out of the four criminal cases brought against Trump last year will now become irrelevant, likely preventing a trial in the federal election subversion case before November. The fourth case, the hush money trial which led to his conviction this year, is considered the weakest of the efforts because it sought to turn misdemeanor charges into felony charges using an obscure statute.

It should be noted that Presidents already have immunity from civil liability while in office and must be impeached for a violation before lawsuits can proceed. The Supreme Court has simply extended that immunity to cover criminal prosecution.

Regardless of how you might feel about Donald Trump it's clear that Democrats have been engaging in a strategy of "lawfare" - The weaponization of the courts as a means to destroy a political opponent instead of facing him head-on in the election arena. The majority of charges made against Trump have been farcical at best, with little to no evidence to support the commission of an actual crime.

The SC is likely responding to this lawfare by limiting it to criminal cases outside of presidential acts, of which there are none. Otherwise, the chicanery on the part of Democrats would cripple the presidency for years to come and every party and president from now on would have to engage in the same lawfare in order to compete.

'Terrible disservice': Biden denounces SCOTUS decision giving Trump partial immunity

Joey Garrison
USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden excoriated the Supreme Court's decision Monday giving former President Donald Trump broad immunity from criminal prosecution, calling it a "dangerous precedent" and arguing Americans will now have to be the final arbiters of Trump's behavior.

Biden, in a special evening address from the White House Cross Hall, said the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the November election regarding Trump's role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

"Now, because of today's decision that is highly, highly unlikely. It's a terrible disservice to the people of this nation," Biden said, adding that Americans will "have to do what the courts should have been willing to do but were not."

"The American people will have to render a judgment about Donald Trump's behavior," he said. "The American people will have to decide whether Donald Trump's assault on our democracy on January 6 makes him unfit for public office. The American people must decide if Trump's embrace of violence to preserve his power is acceptable."

He added: "Perhaps most importantly, the American people must decide if they want to entrust the presidency once again to Donald Trump now knowing he will be even more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it."

Now for me, I enjoy a good rant that gets right to the heart of the matter.
Here's an excerpt from a Brion McClannahan e-mail I received yesterday.

More leftist stupidity on display

Sometime, I think it must be nice to be a stupid leftist.

You live in blissful, hypocritical, obliviousness thinking that your people are "great and honest defenders of democracy" while your political opponents are hate filled degenerates who want to "destroy America."

We all know the left has been the most destructive political wrecking ball in the history of the United States. Judicial activism, the imperial presidency, the warfare State, the loss of civil liberties, un-elected bureaucratic government, nannyism, etc., all draws from the well of progressivism.

It isn't "conservative".

But Donald Trump and the current Supreme Court have splashed cold water on these dopes.

The Supreme Court just ruled that a president cannot be criminally prosecuted for official acts, something everyone with a brain already knew, and the left is losing its mind. Why? Because they are stupid, and as long as their team is winning, they are fine with pummeling their political opponents.

Just don't let the other side get the keys to the political torture chamber.

That is why they hate Trump. He has openly said he will go after them politically, just as they have done to him. We are inching closer to Roman levels of corruption, and those who have been sounding the alarm for a long time think its funny the left is just now figuring this out.

Of course they would be fine with anyone on their side doing it. They have been for years. Their fear is that they will get a taste of their own medicine.

Maybe it was Bathhouse Barry? Susan Rice? Ron Klain? Everyone KNOWS it wasn't Pedo Joe!!! Why he carelessly kept classified documents and notebooks at his former Washington, D.C. office and Delaware home after he left the vice presidency in 2017 AND he presents himself to the Nation, nay...the WORLD as an "elderly man with a poor memory."!!!

Seems like the SCOTUS went after Garland for exactly NOT having his Special Prosecutor confirmed by the Senate. They even put the statute in their decision as well.

Good morning, C&Cers, and Happy, Happy Tuesday! You aren’t going to believe how great yesterday’s news really was. It’s historic. It’s unprecedented. It’s all good. It’s a special, all-Supreme Court roundup , featuring a realistic, hyper-optimistic analysis you won’t find anywhere else. You’re gonna love it.
🗞💬 WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY 💬🗞

🔥🔥🔥 We begin with the UK Independent’s alarming headline from this morning: “Biden warns Trump can do ‘whatever he pleases’ if elected as Republicans relish Supreme Court immunity ruling.” Tellingly, that was a modified headline. Earlier in the day, it more simply said, “Supreme Court awards Trump some immunity from prosecution.” Biden did say that though, even though the Supremes ended none of the Trump cases. Biden is cognitively functioning on par with an above-average boiled turnip. But Biden and his handlers have no idea how good the decision really was, or they would be crying much, much harder.
image.png

How good was it? It was so good I actually started wondering if the QAnon people have been right all along. It was that good. It was that much of a game-changer. Just not for any of the reasons in the headlines.

Let’s begin with what yesterday’s decision didn’t do. Trump v. United States did not “totally immunize” the President. Instead, it created a three-tier test (the Supreme Court loves three-tiered tests), which explains why the Independent’s first headline said it provided Trump with “some” immunity.

But Democrats desperately hope for some distraction from Biden’s terrible Debate, and they are thinking maybe this could be it.

Joe made a short, sleepy, mumbly announcement last night that was just a feeble tantrum about the Immunity decision. While reading the three-minute blurb off a teleprompter, Joe recited, “For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle. And it’s a dangerous precedent.”

The three liberal Justices were equally unhinged, with Justice Sotomayor going so far as to say the majority decision transformed the Office of the President into “a king above the law.” I blame the public schools for Justice Sotomayor not knowing what a king is. She was probably thinking about a royal personage more like Burger King.
image 2.png

Let’s cut through all the noise right now. I’ll tell you what it actually said, and then I will explain why it changes everything. And after explaining how it doesn’t help Trump much, I’ll tell you how the Supreme Court sneakily helped Trump anyway, even though this decision largely ignored his actual cases. Stick with me for a minute, it will be worth it.

Regarding Presidential Immunity —for the first time in American history— the Supreme Court, solidly relying on a whole bunch of previous cases about related presidential issues, announced a brand-new three-tier immunity test:

Tier 1: Total Immunity for Constitutional Acts. “The President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.” This blessed tier is only for when a president exercises explicit authority under Article Two of the Constitution. Things like negotiating treaties, issuing pardons, and directing military operations. As you can imagine, this is a small, well-defined tier.

Tier 2: Presumptive Immunity for Official Acts. The Court declared that “the President must be immune from prosecution for an official act unless the Government can show that applying a criminal prohibition to that act would pose no dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.” In short, if the President acts officially, as President, that act is immune—but a prosecutor can still proceed if they can show criminalizing that type of conduct will not hinder the Presidential office.

Tier Two answers the Democrats’ most deranged temper tantrums. Prosecuting Presidents who order the military to assassinate (i.e. murder) their opponents would not harm the Presidential office, because presidents are not supposed to murder people, and it wouldn’t hinder the Presidential office to criminalize murder. Duh.

Tier 3: No Immunity for Unofficial Acts. “The separation of powers does not bar a prosecution predicated on the President's unofficial acts. The first step in deciding whether a former President is entitled to immunity from a particular prosecution is to distinguish his official from unofficial actions.” For example, the Court said a President has zero immunity when he acts as the leader of his political party, or when pursuing his personal interests.

Actually, assassinating political rivals would probably fall squarely under Tier 3 — enjoying no immunity at all.

As you can see, this three-tier system neither turns Presidents into kings —not Burger King, impotent King Charles, or Solomon— nor places presidents above the law. Certainly not Trump. The decision only resolved a couple of the worst counts in a single Trump case. As for the surviving counts involved in this particular appeal (Judge Chutkan’s case), the Supremes bounced most of the counts back down to her, to apply the new test and then get back to them.

I know that’s a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. But stick with me. This is where it gets really good.

🔥🔥 Over-reacting Democrats —and there are plenty of those— are really only mad because the decision helped Trump indirectly, with timing. Judge Chutkan now must order more briefing and hold more hearings to satisfy the new 3-Tier Immunity Test. That will probably result in more appeals arguing she applied the test wrong, and so forth, and before you know it, Bob’s your uncle, the election will have come and gone and Trump will be walking around free as a bluebird with only an ankle monitor from his other conviction.

Democrats are also peeved because it gives Trump a small second bite at his “check stub” conviction. Yesterday, his lawyers filed a letter motion to delay sentencing —scheduled for next week— and asked Judge Merchan to reconsider the verdict under the new test. It’s a long shot, because they never argued presidential immunity as a defense in that case. But still, it annoyed Democrats.

But all of this political wrangling misses the point. Let’s jump into the C&C time machine and travel back in time to 2020, before the Trump cases were filed. (Cue wacky time-travel music.)
image 3.png

🔥🔥 Clueless, low-information Democrats are wailing that the Judges anointed a Presidential King by creating a three-tier test under which —wait for it— Presidents can be prosecuted for crimes. Democrats are acting like this is a revolutionary improvement of the Presidential position. But that, like nearly everything else partisan Democrats say, is a lie.

What was the rule before the Supreme Court issued its decision? Well, before Trump, no president was ever prosecuted for a crime. Not for droning an Iraqi wedding. Not for illegal wars. Not even for jaywalking or running lawn sprinklers on a Tuesday.

Presidential prosecutions never ever happened.

Don’t miss this: before Trump, presidents obviously enjoyed de facto total immunity. The unspoken rule that everyone followed was that nobody can prosecute the President, or even a former President.

During the period the de facto total immunity rule reigned, the Supreme Court never had to address Presidential immunity. There were no cases; that’s how absolute the immunity was. But now that the Court has crafted a de jure (legal) rubric, Presidents who do illegal things can be prosecuted. They can now be prosecuted much more easily, in fact. Just not for nuisance claims, like the creative, trumped-up claims brought against President Trump, such as for notating his check stubs wrong.

Let’s do a little thought experiment. Evidence shows President Obama was involved in the now-discredited Russia Dossier matter, which was used as a false predicate to spy on the Trump campaign for partisan political purposes. Evidence suggests Obama knew the Dossier was fake, purchased by the Clinton campaign. Yesterday’s new 3-tier test provides a clear procedure for prosecuting Obama for those very serious allegations.

In other words, the High Court incinerated de facto Presidential immunity, and replaced it with a clear de jure prosecutorial process. Former and future Presidents susceptible to more serious crimes than Trump’s are now fair game. I even got a very reluctant AI chatbot to agree:
image 4.png

The irony! By bringing all these silly, creative claims against President Trump for keeping a few boxes of “classified documents,” and because his bookkeeper wrote the wrong thing on a check stub, the Supreme Court got an unprecedented opportunity to end forever the silent, implicit protection previously enjoyed by every other previous President. That de facto absolute immunity is gone, never to return.

And now it’s open season on serious crimes committed by Presidents.

If President Trump wins the election, this decision provides exactly the right tool his DOJ needs to prosecute the last twenty years of Presidential malfeasance and abuses of authority. It almost seems like Trump planned it this way. In hindsight, it couldn’t have gone any better for Trump in the big picture. When Trump’s DOJ brings its first charges against Biden and Obama, the media cannot wail about it being “unprecedented.” He’ll just be following the law.

Beyond those long-term benefits for President Trump, the decision also placed a massive granite capstone on out-of-control Presidential authority. All future Presidents, Trump included, must now consider potential criminal liability under the new Trump v. US standard. The new rule will make Presidents much more careful when acting outside their Constitutional authority, like when they mandate vaccine shots or something, just as a random example.

So … it’s not even so much that Trump won. The American People won.

But the good news doesn’t stop there! Justice Thomas’s concurrence slid an assassin’s knife into Trump’s two most dangerous criminal cases.

🔥🔥 Judge Aileen M. Cannon sits in the Southern District of Florida and presides over the Mar-a-Lago raid case. She is the only Trump judge the Democrats dislike, intensely, because she has been ruling fairly. Judge Cannon right now is considering the issue of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s authority. And Justice Thomas just penned an entire concurring opinion carefully analyzing Prosecutor Smith’s authority. Justice Thomas’s conclusion was that Smith lacks the Constitutional basis to prosecute his two Trump cases. Yesterday’s headline from the New York Sun:
image 5.png

Justice Thomas’s astonishing concurrence is not binding law. That’s not what the case was about. But it just handed a shrink-wrapped legal package to Judge Cannon, that will fuel her decision against the Special Prosecutor. After all, she now has a complete roadmap dished up by a sitting Supreme Court Justice.

Justice Thomas was Judge Cannon’s law clerk.

If Judge Cannon follows Justice Thomas’s Constitutional roadmap —and why wouldn’t she?— both of Prosecutor Smith’s cases will probably be dismissed. Democrats couldn’t fairly criticize Judge Cannon’s decision to dismiss, because she won’t just be some rebellious federal judge in South Florida. Her opinion would be consistent with a Supreme Court Justice’s analysis. And when the government inevitably appeals, in light of Thomas’s concurrence, the Eleventh Circuit would be under great pressure to affirm her decision. Then the majority of the Supreme Court could decline to hear a further appeal, since the Court has essentially already weighed in.

If it isn’t quite checkmate, it looks a lot like “mate in two.” Yesterday’s opinion greatly helped Trump, both by complicating his other cases apart from Prosecutor Smith’s, and also by stabbing Agent Smith’s two cases in the heart.
image 6.png

But beyond any benefits to President Trump, we the people benefited the most.

The Supreme Court still wasn’t done yet. It quietly slipped in another decision that could help tear the bloated, rotten heart out of the entire deep state.

👨‍⚖️👨‍⚖️👨‍⚖️ This term delivered a trifecta of swamp-draining decisions. Let’s recap. In Jarkezy, the Court deleted Executive Agencies’ ability to prosecute citizens for crimes; that must now happen in a real court with a real jury. In Loper Bright, the Supreme Court overturned Chevron, stripping Executive Agencies’ right to interpret laws by themselves and restoring that power to the courts.
image 7.png

Yesterday, the Supreme Court quietly published Corner Post v. Federal Reserve, and squared the deep-state-demolishing circle. Corner Post deleted the current 6-year statute of limitations for challenging Executive Agency rules under the Administrative Procedure Act. Now, citizen plaintiffs can challenge long-standing Agency regulations within 6 years of being affected by them.

The Loper Bright decision made it easier to overturn bad Agency decisions going forwards. And Corner Post just opened the door to retroactive challenges to decades-old regulations. It’s a gold rush for new, re-envigorated litigation against the Regulatory State. Virtually everything is now up for grabs. And I’m not the only one who noticed:
image 8.png

Liberal Justice Jackson, dissenting in Corner Post, also noticed how revolutionary this decision was. Jackson wrote, “At the end of a momentous Term, this much is clear: The tsunami of lawsuits against agencies that the Court's holdings in this case and Loper Bright have authorized has the potential to devastate the functioning of the Federal Government.”

They’re going to need a bigger courthouse. Do it! Devastate the functioning of the Federal Government!
image 9.png

Ironically, Justice Jackson was right, in one sense. A tsunami is a natural event, like the flood waters crashing through a broken dam. Something unnatural (a dam) held the waters back. It’s time for the river to flow through its proper channel again.

Collectively, the new three-part immunity test plus the three-decision trifecta of administrative agency cases drastically pruned presidential authority, about which conservatives and liberals alike (depending on who the sitting president was), have long and bitterly complained.

The “power of the pen” might no longer be as powerful as advertised. Today the Presidential pen is looking more like a cheap Chinese knock-off.

It is difficult to overestimate how much this Supreme Court just historically and permanently altered the landscape of federal government overreach. I’m tempted to invoke again my overused ‘2024’ canard. But actually, I believe this unimaginable improvement in our national prospects was the inevitable result of the Supreme Court observing the government’s wild and painful overreach during the pandemic.

In other words: vaccine mandates.

We’ve longed for a lone decision saying HHS and OSHA can’t just arbitrarily order people to take experimental medical treatments they don’t want. We didn’t get that. But what we did get is arguably and breathtakingly much, much better. The Supreme Court took the long view. They’ve changed everything —including but not only medical freedom— for the better.

We had no right to expect this revolutionary Supreme Court session. What a great day to be alive.

There was also so much more good news yesterday, including massive vaccine injury wins and Epstein document drops. But you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for those.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/devastating-tuesday-july-2-2024-c 

And just like that you see why The Left's hatred of Trump and the Biden DOJ meddled with the Branches of Government. See it for what it was. He couldn't leave well enough alone. Now, his infamous "Quid Pro Quo" to eject a foreign Special Prosecutor going after his son with taxpayer dollars as the "stick and the carrot" could haunt him. Clinton's pay to play last minute commutations and pardons and Obama's drone strikes could and should now face Justice. [whip]

I fear that this case will be used to levy another charge on another President...because. So far the Founding Fathers are looking like the geniuses they were.

Jack Smith, and the Biden DOJ have some questions they need to answer.

As everyone now knows, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to grant presidents immunity for "official acts" has given Donald Trump unlimited power to do literally anything he wants with zero consequences whatsoever.

After serious consultation with legal experts, The Babylon Bee has discovered the following list of things that Trump can now do with complete impunity:

Leave the toilet seat up: Feminists in particular are reportedly outraged over this.

Leave his tray table down and keep his seat in the reclined position when the plane is making its final descent: Long thought to be the one rule everyone must follow, Trump is apparently exempt.

Claim the front seat without calling "Shotgun": No man has ever known such power.

Leave his shopping cart in the parking lot without returning it to the corral: Matt Walsh won't approve, but there's nothing he can do about it.

Go back for seconds before everyone else has finished with their firsts: He'll also now get two scoops of ice cream while everyone else has to settle for one.

Drive in the carpool lane by himself: He'll also be allowed to make rolling stops at stop signs and merge without giving a little "thank you" wave to the guy behind him.

Put the milk carton back in the fridge even though it only has a tiny splash of milk left in it: Yes, the person using the milk after him will suffer for it, but the law is the law.

Go swimming without waiting 30 minutes after eating: Not even stomach cramps can compete with presidential immunity.

Double-dip his chips: Being immune to prosecution means everyone else has to be comfortable with your germs.

Ignore the height limit at the Chick-fil-A Playplace: And no more of that "taking turns going down the slide" silliness when you're the president.

Rebroadcast a baseball game without the express written consent of Major League Baseball: Constitutionally, he'll also be allowed to share his Netflix account and password with as many people as he wants.

Walk into Costco without showing a membership card: There is now legal precedent for any president to save big on a two-gallon jug of ranch dressing without having a membership.

AOC threatens impeachment articles following Trump immunity ruling

By Rachel Schilke -
July 1, 2024 1:00 pm

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) plans to draft articles of impeachment after the Supreme Court ruled former President Donald Trump may have some immunity from prosecution related to actions taken in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

“The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a post to X on Monday. “Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.”

“I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.”

Ocasio-Cortez did not specify which justices she would file impeachment articles against. The House is in recess until July 8, when lawmakers will return to Capitol Hill.
