Cautious Optimism – President Trump Indicates Likely Window for Vice Presidential Running Mate Announcement


Posted originally on the CTH on July 7, 2024 | Sundance

Presented with a certain amount of reserved, perhaps pragmatic & cautious optimism.

I have made no secret of my preferred candidate to run with President Trump as his vice-president nominee.  For a myriad of well-thought-out reasons, I have long held the hope that Dr Ben Carson would be the running mate for President Donald Trump. {Background Here} Considering the ramifications, my thought process is not some random, esoteric thoughtclickbait discussion or academic exercise.

Having been extremely deep in the political weeds; which some powerful and influential people have described as, “you’re nuts with your endeavors;” with a great deal of risk and with a tremendous about of fact-based reconnaissance into the nature of the ideological enemy, in combination with thousands of hours of private thought and prayer, I truly believe the #1 characteristic we need in this exceptionally important moment in history; is a man (or woman) of incredible character, loyalty, virtue, and most importantly, unwavering faith.

This is not just a critical national election; we are in a spiritual battle against a very determined force of global malevolence, dare I even say visible evil.

That said, President Trump has indicated we will soon know the answer.

.

….Allow We the People, to forge the armory that supports a necessary reckoning.

I stand, steadfast!

Supreme Court Rules on Trump’s Immunity


Posted originally on Jul 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Trump Immunity Decision

The Supreme Court’s decision on Trump’s immunity is out today. The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that presidents enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution for official, but not unofficial, acts. They also noted that even comments that he thought the election was rigged as so many other people, “So most of a President’s public communications are likely to fall comfortably within the outer perimeter of his official responsibilities,” it added. Even in the case Nixon v. Fitzgerald, the Court held that his obstruction of justice was still immune to civil suits. The Supreme Court issued a significant ruling on presidential immunity back in 1982, where it held that presidents enjoyed absolute immunity from civil liability for actions that fell within the outer perimeter of their official duties. Trump was still president on January 6th,

This decision shows that the United States cannot possibly stand beyond 2032 and perhaps as soon as 2029. Even the Supreme Court is reflecting this deep polarization of the nation. The dissent in this decision reflects the deep divide and why America is tearing itself apart at the seams. Here, the dissent insists that the Constitution does not shield a former President from criminal acts, which is clearly words simply because this is Trump.

The Washington Post, America’s version of Lenin’s Pravda, emphasizes that the law is determined by political ideology by writing: “The Supreme Court says presidents have “absolute” immunity for clearly official acts, but no immunity for unofficial acts. The high court’s 6-3 ruling along ideological lines sends the case back to the lower court to determine what acts alleged in Donald Trump’s indictment on charges of trying to subvert the 2020 election are official or unofficial. The ruling likely adds significant time and further appeals to the pending trial of the former president’s federal case in D.C.”

Imbler_v._Pachtman_424_U.S._409_1976

Held: A state prosecuting attorney who, as here, acted within the scope of his duties in initiating and pursuing a criminal prosecution and in presenting the State’s case, is absolutely immune from a civil suit for damages under § 1983 for alleged deprivations of the accused’s constitutional rights. Pp. 424 U. S. 417-431.

In Imber vs. Pachtman, 424 US 429 (1976), the Supreme Court was so anti-citizen that it handed prosecutors ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY no matter what. They have abused that power all the time, and they can target you because of who you are. They have driven people to suicide for being harassed and having their lives completely destroyed including members of their families, even for personal animosity or for political gain as Bragg is doing to Trump in New York, and God help you if you try to ever sue a judge for his bias as an official act. They anoint themselves with ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY, which is far above the law – but they want to imprison Trump because he is their political nemesis.  Judges and prosecutors bestow ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY upon themselves, and there is NOTHING in the Constitution that dares to imply such a power.

Turn out Lights

We are rapidly approaching the fatal moment when it will be time to turn out the light on this experiment from 1776 by the Founding Fathers. Like all Republics, it has led to such corruption and moral deprivation that, as a unified nation, we will be unable to stand thanks to the polarization that is turning to deep-seated hatred. When Franklin was asked what kind of government they created, he replied, “Republic, if you can keep it.” We are reaching the end of the road. Civilization works when everyone benefits. It ceases to be viable when it divides, and one side assumes the power to abuse the other. Then the nation should split, for as we have seen today, there should have been no dissent unless you also remove all ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY from judges and prosecutors as well.

Supreme Court Rules President Trump Has Absolute Immunity for Official Actions Within Constitutional Authority


Posted originally on the CTH on July 1, 2024 | Sundance

…“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”… 

In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court of the United Stated ruled that presidents have “absolute immunity” for official “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.”  [SEE RULING HERE] Also, “official acts” cannot be used as evidence against the president in a criminal case.

As expected, the high court instructed the lower trial courts to hold specific evidentiary hearings on each anti-Trump criminal count, and determine which counts, if any, related to official or unofficial acts.

The Supreme Court is essentially telling the lower courts to go back and look at each citation and review which claims are official acts and which claims related to unofficial acts. The Supreme Court ruled that presidents may not have immunity for non-official conduct. However, when the judicial review cannot differentiate, the court cannot look at motives for the decisions.

“In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives,” the Court ruled. “Whenever the President and Vice President discuss their official responsibilities, they engage in official conduct.”

“The indictment’s allegations that Trump attempted to pressure the Vice President to take particular acts in connection with his role at the certification proceeding thus involve official conduct, and Trump is at least presumptively immune from prosecution for such conduct,” the Court added.

“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts,” the Court concluded. “That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office.”

The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts could not be used as evidence of a crime.

“That proposal threatens to eviscerate the immunity we have recognized,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “It would permit a prosecutor to do indirectly what he cannot do directly — invite the jury to examine acts for which a President is immune from prosecution to nonetheless prove his liability on any charge.”

Chief Justice Roberts wrote the opinion for the majority. This ruling will certainly delay any further court action by Special Counsel Jack Smith during the DC Lawfare trial, until after the election in November.

The WASHINGTON POST is not happy…. “A few key points:

  • The court ruled that Trump is absolutely immune from prosecution for any conduct “involving his discussions with Justice Department officials” — a significant segment of his federal indictment. For instance, this would seem to take off the table Trump’s interactions with Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, a key figure who has been indicted in Georgia alongside Trump, as well as other top Justice Department officials telling Trump his voter-fraud theories were wrong.
  • It ruled that he is presumed immune from prosecution for pressuring then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the election on Jan. 6, 2021, because Trump’s acts “involve official conduct.” It said the burden is on the government to prove that prosecuting Trump for this wouldn’t “pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.”
  • It left open the possibility that Trump can be prosecuted for other actions, particularly those with regard to people outside the executive branch and in the states. It ruled that “this alleged conduct cannot be neatly categorized as falling within a particular Presidential function.”

All of which means some of Trump’s conduct can still be prosecuted, but some cannot. And figuring out what can and cannot be is still to be determined.

The other crucial point is this: The court ruled not only that Trump can’t be prosecuted for certain conduct, but also that conduct for which he is immune can’t even be used as evidence against him. So, his interactions with Justice Department officials, for instance, can’t be used to establish a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election. (link)

ICYMI – Two Significant Positive Rulings from Supreme Court – Fischer Case (J6) and Chevron Reversal


Posted originally on the CTH on June 29, 2024 | Sundance | 240 Comments

In a major 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court has finally addressed the expansive regulatory use of executive agencies to create law through interpretation.  The 40-year-old Chevron ruling granted the executive agencies of government the ability to interpret laws and apply restrictions/regulations based on their own rules and definitions therein.

The Supreme Court put the judicial branch back into the equation by ruling that courts will decide what laws apply when the legislation is ambiguous on detail.  This shift in prior precedent could have major ramifications.  [MORE AT SCOTUS BLOG]

In another big case, the court ruled in favor of Joseph Fischer a Pennsylvania police officer charged in the January 6th protest with “obstructing an official proceeding.”  [FULL RULING HERE]

The law at the center of Fischer’s case is 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2), and as noted by Julie Kelly, “The statute … has been applied in roughly 350 J6 cases; it also represents two of four counts in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s J6-related criminal indictment of Donald Trump in Washington.”

Julie Kelly – […] In a 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the “c2” subsection is tethered to the “c1” subsection that addresses tampering with a record, document, or “object.”

Roberts was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the dissent (!) joined by Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

Today’s decision means hundreds of Americans have been wrongfully prosecuted by Attorney General Merrick Garland as he insists his department is dedicated to upholding the “rule of law” and pursuing justice “without fear or favor.” (read more)

The DOJ now has to figure out how it will respond to losing the majority charge in many of the J6 cases.  However, the DOJ immediately responded with the following press release:

MAIN JUSTICE – The Justice Department issued the following statement from Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on the Supreme Court’s decision in Fischer v. United States:

“January 6 was an unprecedented attack on the cornerstone of our system of government — the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next. I am disappointed by today’s decision, which limits an important federal statute that the Department has sought to use to ensure that those most responsible for that attack face appropriate consequences.  

The vast majority of the more than 1,400 defendants charged for their illegal actions on January 6 will not be affected by this decision. There are no cases in which the Department charged a January 6 defendant only with the offense at issue in Fischer. For the cases affected by today’s decision, the Department will take appropriate steps to comply with the Court’s ruling.

We will continue to use all available tools to hold accountable those criminally responsible for the January 6 attack on our democracy.” (read more)

Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said the Supreme Court was correct in its ruling to make it harder to charge Jan. 6 defendants with obstruction.
