If your position on any issue is ''if you're not with us you're against us'', it's generally safe to assume I'm not with you. #FeynmanFan

@seaforrest @mrmusicevo @judgeluttig 4. At least with respect to the President’s exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute.
5. As for his remaining official actions, he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@seaforrest @mrmusicevo @judgeluttig 2. In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives.
3. Nor may courts deem an action unofficial merely because it allegedly violates a generally applicable law.

@DirkSchwenk President Biden has alot of quick work to do in the next few months since he has Presidential immunity according the Supreme Court.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@somethingldsay @harryjsisson It follows that an Act of Congress—either a specific one targeted at the President or a generally applicable one—may not criminalize the President’s actions within his exclusive constitutional power.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@somethingldsay @harryjsisson His authority to act necessarily “stem[s] either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself.” When the President exercises such authority, Congress cannot act on, and courts cannot examine, the President’s actions.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@PSaeph And if the President, in his official capacity, violates that law, how would you prosecute that? The Supreme Court says you can't.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@DavidEinlin Yes. Posse Comitatus is a federal law. The Supreme Court ruled that official acts conducted by the President are immune from criminal prosecution, so the President can't be prosecuted for violating the law that is Posse Comitatus.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@john_mcnally "In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives." The President's powers include use of the military, so if he says his use of the military is official conduct, it's official conduct. As of today, the President IS above the law.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@crarchie18972 Posse Comitatus is a federal law. The Supreme Court ruled that official acts conducted by the President are immune from criminal prosecution, so the President can't be prosecuted for violating the law that is Posse Comitatus. Hell of a loophole they've created, huh?

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

the law intended to prevent the President from using federal military forces to enforce domestic policies--or any conduct the President deems necessary, regardless of his motives (which, per the ruling, the courts may not question)--is effectively void. (2/2)

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling renders Posse Comitatus moot. Since the President is Commander in Chief of the military, and the military must follow the Commander's orders, and *official acts* of the President are immune from criminal prosecution, (1/2)

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Let’s be clear. If you call for a “national divorce” you are calling for secession. It’s dangerous, disloyal, and the GOP should censure those who call for it.

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@mtgreenee We are neither the same Nation nor different Nations. We ought not therefore pursue the one or the other of these ideas too closely. If we do not come to some agreement among ourselves, some foreign sword will probably do the work for us.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed?

[Na3than @ICanBeWrong]

@BrianGi14629958 @mmpadellan That's from the Declaration of Independence. If MTG wants to overthrow the government she can do it without the resources of the Congress of the United States behind her. If she can't honor her oath to "support and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States" she must step down.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Marjorie Taylor Greene should be expelled from Congress for calling for the dissolution of the United States of America.

Who agrees? 🤚

[James Connor @toJamesConnor]

Enough! A sitting member of Congress calling for secession of red states from the United States deserves immediate censure.

Majorie Taylor Green should also be removed from the Homeland Security Committee.

America should not allow a sitting member of Congress, who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, to advocate for secession—which is unconstitutional—without serious consequences.

Time to stop playing with fire.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

"Woke" is Republican-speak for anyone who gives a damn about other human beings or the planet.
It is a dog-whistle slur against expressions of humanity that spread resources, opportunity, power, and a voice to more people. https://t.co/qkYT1X37kJ
