The thumbnail is somehow a gif with flames over the cup, but then you click it, and the picture in the article does not have the flames.
Well he would not be liable to criminal prosecution, but that says nothing of whether the loans have to be forgiven upon his declaration.
The immunity just stops him from facing personal legal consequences and only after SCOTUS confirms any crimes were committed during an official act. How do they test for that? They haven’t said and will make up reasons to help/hurt whoever they want on a case by case basis.
Are there laws Biden could break that would force loan forgiveness, and would the current supreme court side with Biden? Seems like no in both cases aside from more Seal Team Six arguments resulting in a new set of SCOTUS judges ruling on such orders. Biden ain’t the guy to make that happen.
The article title is too early to be correct though. There is a good chance this decision gets judge Cannon removed from the case. Clarence may have made it much worse for Trump.
Even this supreme court is not going to allow the case to be dismissed over the appointment of a special counsel. No other judges joined Thomas’s concurrence because it was clearly wrong. He might pick up Alito when the district sides with Smith on appeal and Trump sends it back to SCOTUS. But 2 to 7 doesn’t give them the majority.
Smith may (and should) ask to have her removed over this and previous obvious bias/errors which I believe the district judges would also approve at this point.
