The American public must now understand, in the wake of today’s decision, that Trump would now enter office knowing for certain exactly how he can abuse power and commit crimes using the power of the federal government, something he did not know last time. A frightening prospect.
Here’s what today’s immunity decision means for the Trump cases, our democracy and beyond. Spoiler alert before you click: it’s not good. https://t.co/cyqfXc2sK9
Our democracy has been gravely wounded
The Trump immunity decision says: a president CAN VIOLATE THE CRIMINAL LAW if he acts within his broadly defined “constitutional authority”
Absurd and dangerous
There is no basis in the Constitution for this Court constructed monstrosity
The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control.
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.
Just remembering all of the very important people (many in the media) who told me that I was being dramatic and Trump couldn’t actually change American norms or institutions.
Grimly hilarious to compare the textual foundation for disqualifying Trump for insurrection (right there in the 14th amendment) and the foundation for absolute criminal immunity for official acts (nowhere to be found in the constitution despite explicit grants of other forms of immunity)
"COVID is going to be around for a while. Whether our response is an emergency one or long-term one, doesn’t super matter, but there needs to be a response. And, instead, what we’re seeing is that people are sick of COVID, are sick of doing COVID precautions."
"Where’s the COVID recovery plan? If we’re ending the emergency, then we should be moving into the recovery phase, and that should mean coming up with a long-term plan, and providing support and compensation." - @EpiEllie
