The Supreme Court has been asked to weigh in on a question that will decide if the former president faces charges for efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
WASHINGTON (CN) — The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to review a fast-tracked petition asking if Donald Trump can use his status as a former president to claim immunity from criminal charges related to his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
The order came only hours after Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the justices to expedite consideration of Trump’s presidential immunity claim in his D.C. prosecution for election interference leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The decision is not an agreement to hear Smith’s case, but rather an agreement to review his petition faster than normal.
Immunity while head of state? Sounds like a monarchy to me.
And if SCOTUS says the President is an absolute monarch? What would you want Biden to do next? The GQP just never thinks this through.
Arrest the bunch of them. “The Republican party is hereby disbanded, arrests begin in 5 minutes.”
(throwback for the kids in the room):
Can’t believe that this became an international faux pas. Reagan was absolutely a spawn of Satan, but come on. Unless “We begin bombing in 5 minutes” was broadcasted live (the report says it was an audio test) there’s no way it should be read as anything other than gallows humor.
And if SCOTUS says the President is an absolute monarch? What would you want Biden to do next?
Use his powers as monarch to remove the justices that gave him such power, then abdicate back down to president.
It would be in the most Biden way possible too. Dissolve the current court, instate mildly progressive liberals, and order a reruling to remove his power
