As stunningly stupid as it is, Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion to today’s SCOTUS ruling now somehow means that American presidents (past, present, and assumingly in the future) have immunity from official acts consistent with the office.
Notice I said “consistent with the office.”
Obviously, this nit-wit (and her fellow dumb-shits, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson) fail to understand that presidential immunity is what keeps Barack Obama for being tried for wiping-out those ever-so-threatening wedding parties.
It also keeps Bill Clinton for facing-up to the bombing of the Varvarin Bridge in Yugoslavia. You know, the same bridge crammed with Orthodox Christians retuning from liturgy specifically celebrating the Holy Trinity.
With that aside, as reported by TheHill.com;
“Our Constitution does not shield a former President from answering for criminal and treasonous acts,” Sotomayor wrote.
Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune,” she continued. “Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”
We’re expected to take fookin’ eejits like this seriously? But wait… there’s more.
As it turns out, some hack for the uber-Leftie BBC hack has taken to Twitter/X calling for Biden to “murder” President Trump.
But as the true puddy-tat he is, David Aaronovitch deleted that particular tweet just as fast as his dainty fingers allowed. Thank goodness his tweet was copied before he made it disappear.
There’s now a far right pile on suggesting that my tweet about the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity is an incitement to violence when it’s plainly a satire. So I’m deleting it. If nothing else though it’s given me a map of some the daftest people on this site.
