 |  Subject: TRUMP and Presidential Immunity  Mon Jul 01, 2024 1:31 pm | |
| The Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump is entitled to some level of immunity from prosecution for official acts taken during his presidency. The decision, which was announced on Monday, July 1, 2024, was a 6-3 vote, with the majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts.The ruling means that Trump is immune from prosecution for official acts taken while in office, but not for unofficial acts. The court sent the case back to the lower court to determine which specific acts alleged in the indictment are official or unofficial.The decision is a significant victory for Trump, who had argued that he was entitled to absolute immunity from prosecution for all acts taken while in office. The ruling is also a blow to the prosecution, which had sought to hold Trump accountable for his actions related to the 2020 election.Key Points:- The Supreme Court ruled that Trump has immunity for official acts taken while in office.
- The court did not address whether Trump has immunity for unofficial acts.
- The case will be sent back to the lower court to determine which specific acts alleged in the indictment are official or unofficial.
- The ruling is a 6-3 vote, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing the majority opinion.
- The decision is a significant victory for Trump, who had argued for absolute immunity from prosecution.
Reactions:- The Biden campaign released a statement saying that the ruling “doesn’t change the facts” and that Trump “snapped after he lost the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overthrow the results of a free and fair election.”
- Trump’s lawyers hailed the decision as a “major victory” and said it would “protect the institution of the presidency.”
- Critics of the decision argued that it would allow presidents to commit crimes with impunity and undermine the rule of law.
What’s Next:- The case will be sent back to the lower court to determine which specific acts alleged in the indictment are official or unofficial.
- The prosecution will likely appeal the decision to the Supreme Court again, arguing that the court’s ruling is too narrow and does not provide sufficient protection for the rule of law.
- The case is likely to continue to be a major political issue, with both sides using it to score political points and attack each other’s character.

| https://www.npr.org/2024/07/01/nx-s1-5002157/supreme-court-trump-immunityThe U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, ruled that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers — and is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts, but lacks immunity for unofficial acts. But at the same time, the court sent the case back to the trial judge to determine which, if any of former President Donald Trump's actions, were part of his official duties and thus were protected from prosecution.
POLITICS RFK Jr. calls Biden-Trump debate 'sad,' sees political openingThat part of the court’s decision likely ensures that the case against Trump won’t be tried before the election, and then only if he is not reelected. If he is reelected, Trump could order the Justice Department to drop the charges against him, or he might try to pardon himself in the two pending federal cases.Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court’s decision, joined by his fellow conservatives. Dissenting were the three liberals, Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.Roberts acknowledged that the case was unprecedented."No court has thus far considered how to distinguish between official and unofficial acts," he wrote, while chiding the lower courts for rendering "their decisions on a highly expedited basis." He said the lower courts "did not analyze the conduct alleged in the indictment to decide which of it should be categorized as official and which unofficial."“Certain allegations — such as those involving Trump's discussions with the Acting Attorney General — are readily categorized in light of the nature of the President's official relationship to the office held by that individual,” he wrote. In other words, "Trump is ... absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials."

| After the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's immunity case, several prominent left-wing accounts have issued direct threats, including:
- Calling for Joe Biden to drone strike Trump.
- Calling for Biden to weaponize the military to take out Trump.
- Calling to cancel the 2024 election.
