Most notably, the high court will weigh if and when a former president can claim criminal immunity for acts committed while in office as Trump, who is currently on trial for allegedly concealing hush money payments to an adult film actress, fights three additional indictments over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his hoarding of classified documents.”
Trump’s appeal is set to come before the justices on Thursday.
From the outside, the US increasingly looks like an autocracy lead by those “judges” in the supreme court that apparently can not be touched in any way and somehow get to decide just about everything.
This is also how it looks and feels from the inside. Biden better step up and use his “absolute presidential immunity” to save America if it comes to that.
The thing is, the Supreme Court has no means of enforcing it’s judgements. If enough of the people believe the Court is no longer legitimate then their judgements will cease to hold weight. If we ever reach that point then the country as we know it will likely be unable to recover.
I currently believe the court is illegitimate. I wonder how many others already hold the same belief.
I also thnk the court can be saved, but something would need to be done about the blatanct corruption, such as the removal of certain judges
Yep, if that happens, the judiciary breaks down. If I do not need to respect the judgement of the supreme Court, why do I need.to respect the judgement of any court?
If this takes root among law enforcement (this seems to have already started big time) and among the general public, public order becomes impossible to maintain.
