[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Today’s Supreme Court decision on Donald Trump’s immunity claim is far worse than anything I imagined...

Effectively giving a president immunity for any crimes committed while in office as long as that president can plausibly claim the action was taken in some form of official capacity.

It must now be presumed that the president, as king, is immune from accountability.

The rule of law applies to everyone except the most powerful person on Earth.

It would be difficult to overstate how much this opinion shifts the balance of power away from Congress and towards the presidency, and how unshackled a corrupt president will now be. The Court gives the president absolute power, and it will corrupt him, absolutely.

As Justice Sotomayor says so powerfully, this new immunity ‘now lies about like a loaded weapon’ for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation.’

The Court holds that when a president acts within his ‘core’ authority, he is fully immune.

And when he acts outside his core authority, but in an official capacity, the presumption of immunity is so strong as to be nearly absolute.

Even if he acts in a purely personal capacity, and the Court majority gives no indication of when that would be, his statements while acting officially may not be used as evidence, and his motives may not be questioned.

Having taken up a case they never should have, having waited until the last day to issue the opinion, having known it was the defendant’s strategy to deny justice by delaying it, the Court now remands the case for further proceedings of indeterminate length, ensuring there will be no accountability for Trump’s insurrectionist crimes before the election.

During his abortive coup attempt, Trump told his acting attorney general and other top Justice Department officials to ‘just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.’

Now the Supreme Court says he is immune from ordering his Justice Department to lie, and the evidence of his malice, his very words, may not be used as evidence against him.

Under this ruling, a president can order the assassination or jailing of their political rival, and be immune. They can take a bribe in exchange for an official act, and still be immune. They can organize a military coup to hold onto power, and still be immune. If that sounds mad, that’s because it is.

This is a day that will live in legal infamy.

When justices on the Court that bears Roberts’ name, paid back their appointment by a corrupt president with an opinion that provides immunity to all corrupt presidents, and weakened our democracy and the rule of law for the ages.

Our only remedy is the ballot box, a new congress, and a new Court — that has more reverence for the Constitution than the lust for power.

@9Seeley @JulieDo24718056 @BenDempsey18 @TristanSnell Donations and polls are two very different things

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@JulieDo24718056 @BenDempsey18 @TristanSnell Yep. Elections are won or lost not through the crazy MAGA brigade of hardcore supporters, but through everyday people who only read headlines. The headline reads ‘ Trump guilty on 34 counts’ and everyone now refers to him as convicted felon Trump. He’s toast IMO

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@Codie_Sanchez Sorry but disagree. Trump is someone who believes he is above the law and acts as such. He’s a liar, cheat and a fraud. Are you suggesting he shouldn’t be prosecuted for his crimes and held to account because he’s running for president and it might upset a lot of people?

Yes, we've already updated his bio.

@Eisans @everhusk Named after the great Christopher Hitchens I presume?

Robert De Niro rips “Total monster” Trump:

“I'd never play him as an actor, because I can't see any good in him. Nothing."

@awilkinson Are you really saying the iPod with 10k songs, plus iTunes platform to curate your music was not a huge leap? Or the original iPhone with full touchscreen querty keyboard including haptics and those little letters that pop up when you tap them?

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@sweatystartup There I was enjoying your tweets about business and startups and you start espousing BS political views.

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@FitFounder Oh the irony of reading the last one just before you doomscroll on!

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@sweatystartup @SBurkholder7 I wouldn’t call it win for anyone personally.

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@ohhushmusic @sweatystartup Yup, except, Video games are way way way more addictive now than they were 20 years ago. Plus smartphones / social media in the mix.

@RZ_3_ @m_franceschetti @sweatystartup @GuyDealership My guess is there is a lot of tech / software required to make all the smarts work, in particular the app will need to be updated in line with hardware and software updates on devices. A traditional bed doesn’t change in anyway after you purchase it, but all that tech updates

@kareemjeanjr @StephenKing Oh really? I didn’t realise it was a dude got fired from his job in Gaza and decided to kill all those people cos he was raging about it. Come on man, use your brain a bit

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@TheRealEstateG6 @tevsimp In this instance it clearly a bribe to get the best tee times and whatever he wants whenever he wants it. I doubt the other members like that.

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@TheRealEstateG6 @sweatystartup Tipping is such a BS culture. Just another way for the rich to bribe their way to the top or front for things which should be fairly shared out.

@iamcoriarnold How is this passive? As soon as you stop pumping out content your audience will drop away

[Andrew Ford @Fordo252]

@FiSavvy Nice ideas but gotta remember Time = money and a lot of these take quite a bit of time and may only save you a couple of quid. it’s much better to spend that time working out how to make a lot more through a business.
