Thank you, Alan Davis: 💥 “When they shed the Constitution, they shed their immunity.” Now backed by the Supreme Court — in the Trump case. Trump v. United States (2024) — What Did SCOTUS Just Say? The Supreme Court ruled that a President is not immune from prosecution for unofficial acts — Only official acts within the constitutional duties of the office are protected. Translation: Even the highest public servant in the land loses immunity the moment he steps outside the Constitution or his lawful duties. That principle doesn’t just apply to Trump — it applies to: Police officers Judges Prosecutors Bureaucrats Elected officials at every level 🔥 Key Line from the Decision: “There is no immunity for unofficial acts.” — Trump v. United States, 2024 Tied to 42 U.S. Code § 1983: “Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation… subjects any citizen… to the deprivation of any rights… shall be liable to the party injured…” That means: When a public official acts outside their official capacity, under color of law, they are now: A private actor Stripped of immunity Personally liable for damages and deprivation of rights If even the President isn’t immune outside his constitutional duties, then no other public servant is either. Recap: ✅ Step outside your oath — you're liable. ✅ Enforce unlawful policy — you're a private actor. ✅ No oath + no constitutional backing = NO IMMUNITY.
