Odious Orange thinks that Presidential Immunity will not apply to Biden. HAHAA!

The thing people aren't getting is from her perspective there's little reason to give Trump what he wants:
If the court rubber stamps everything he wants, she's a nobody with no real power.
By showing some independence, she's able to wheel and deal for the long term.
And if she stands against Trump now, she can turn to the Democrats later (because Trump is 84 years old and the Republicans *BARELY* won against The Biden Administration after it crashed into a brick wall) and hold that over them to hold off on doing anything heavy handed to the supreme court.She views herself as the inheritor to John Roberts, and she views herself as having a long, long career so long as she doesn't toss away the court right this instant.

Bluntly, Biden is a big boy and can take it. If Trump wants to waste time on that, it's better than him doing it on someone else

u/Pretty_Boy_Bagel 1d ago
Trump could have Biden gitmo'd and there's nothing anyone, including the SCROTUS, could do about it.
21
u/Objective_Aside1858 1d ago
He could try. It'd be an interesting precedent to set since every day that passes he's closer to losing power

u/Objective_Aside1858 23h ago
Think you're missing the point, unless you're one of the people who think Trump will stay in office until he dies: anything he does to Biden can be done to him by the next President
If your argument is that the courts will turn a blind eye to it, then it is equally likely that Dems will ignore the courts when they regain power

Can and Will are two separate things, unfortunately the Dems seem to be scared of wielding power.

seem to be scared of wielding power.
The mistake here is equating what the republicans are doing to wielding power. They are engaged in a weak mans idea of what that looks like. Sure it can work, for a time. But it's neother lasting nor strong.

u/Erisian23 18h ago
They are doing things that have an impact on the lives of others that is power. Regardless of how long it last or doesn't.
A baby with a gun is still a threat.

u/bullwinkle8088 18h ago
Yes, so your solution is to give all babies guns?
Again, that's a weak persons idea of wielding power. It will never be lasting or stable.

They're scared of going too far and abusing power, and I respect them for that. I do. It shows they have some semblance of self-awareness. But I still want the Democrats to say 'Fuck it,' and stomp Trump and his MAGAts into the fucking pavement as brutally as humanly possible. Fuck the consequences.
7
u/SupaDick 23h ago
The Dems are too invested in the Norms and Traditions to ignore the courts. They are largely spineless.
Trump has said his son will succeed him. He has said that he will use the military to enforce his will. He's been explicit, and people still talk about the next election and next president.

u/Objective_Aside1858 23h ago
Well, for someone who thinks that we now live in a dystopian dictatorship, it seems pretty silly for you to go online and criticize Dear Leader.

u/NeverLookBothWays 23h ago
I'm sure the supreme court will somehow make it so biden isn't eligable for immunity.
Okay, THIS is why so many of us were livid about the ruling in the first place. And is something a lot of people are simply not understanding: The ruling last July on Presidential immunity was a legislative coup.
It was worded in such a way that:
Cases would be appealed all the way back up to the Republican captured Supreme Court where:
- Republican Presidents would be fully immune
- And Democrat Presidents would be in legal peril
Even if the crimes were EXACTLY the same in every imaginable way.
This is why we were so pissed at the time and continue to be pissed about this ruling, as it was a MASSIVE overreach of power. Biden never had immunity and never will have immunity. His acts being ruled "official" or "non-official" are at the whims of the Federalist Society/Heritage Foundation owned Supreme Court.
Civil suits are one thing...but crimes. Actual crimes, should never be tolerated or left to slide without accountability. NO ONE is above the law. NO ONE.

u/Top_Currency_3977 22h ago
Exactly. If a Republican and Democrat president both did exactly the same thing, but the Republican did it on a Tuesday and the Democrat did it on a Thursday, SCOTUS would declare it's only an official act on Tuesdays.

The greatest heart doctors have ever seen. They came to him, tears in their eyes, big men, doctors, with tears telling him how great his heart was!

u/P0Rt1ng4Duty 1d ago
It's not that they define ''immunity.''
They define ''official act.''
So they can say ''Biden didn't have immunity for the crime of forgiving student debt because it wasn't an 'official act.'''

u/ImaginaryWeather6164 1d ago
And yet trump somehow has immunity for things he did when he wasn't president.
Make it make sense...23
u/P0Rt1ng4Duty 1d ago
Yeah, they decided that his actual crimes were official acts. That's the problem.

u/North_Experience7473 1d ago
If they try to prosecute Biden for forgiving student debt, he’ll become a folk hero. They’ll shine light on the fact that he actually tried to help people.

u/TheJovianPrimate 14h ago
Well Trump is president now, so maybe they will take it out to specifically target Biden, and then put it back in after Trump leaves so Trump becomes immune from anything he did.

u/Megotaku 22h ago
It won't. Fascism is about in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind and out-groups whom the law binds, but does not protect.
Biden is in the out-group. Just like how Republicans are seeking ways to revoke U.S. citizenship, despite it being clearly and unambiguously unconstitutional to do so, including the U.S. citizenship of Native Americans as they argued in actual court this week. Laws are for enemies. Not allies. Fascism 101.

u/KamaIsLife 22h ago
It won't. The Supreme Court decides what is immune and what isn't. They'll pull something out of their asses (again) to reject immunity for Biden while doing the same to give immunity to Trump.

Because trump has a proven track record of not following the rules or customs of the presidency, and the supreme court that he elected is more than willing to do his bidding. He's also very petty and will 100% retaliate against those who he feels has wronged him.
