Supreme Court Rules on Trump’s Immunity

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)

The Trump vs Biden Debate on June 27th, 2024


Posted Jun 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Trump Biden Debate 6 27 24

Here are the arrays from around the world, and they do show a shift for the 27th when we will witness CNN’s corrupt attempt to interfere in the 2024 election. This is all part of the cycle for the Decline & Fall of the United States and all of the West, for that matter. As I have said many times, CIVILIZATION works when everyone benefits. This has been turned into a civil war of words that inspires such hatred that the only solution will be the civil war to reestablish our right to freedom from tyranny.

Trump vs Hillary 2024

CNN has lost all credibility, and it is a disgrace as a news organization crossing the line to a propaganda-conspiracy advocate. The polls now show that most people assume the CNN debate between Trump and Biden will by no means be an honest debate. CNN is desperate to undermine Trump, for they know the natural candidate will be Hillary Clinton – not Biden. Hillary is coming out with a new book this week in time for the debate as a warning to all. She is true to her Female-Nazi Days of bra-burning ’60s hatred of men, championing how she saved Afghan women from war and brave women dissidents defying dictators around the world such as Putin. (She needs to look in the mirror). This is how you prepare to be “drafted” for the Presidency in August because they know Biden will lose.

Gallip Poll on Confidence 2023

Gallup’s poll on CONFIDENCE continues to demonstrate that faith in Congress is now down to 8%. There is no sector showing where CONFIDENCE has increased. I personally no longer look at anyone’s Nightly News. CONFIDENCE in Television News is down to 14%. The computer is projecting the decline in CONFIDENCE into 2028 – I guess we will move BELOW zero by then. Our politicians worldwide no longer represent their people; they only represent the agenda they have been advocating dictated by the Neocon-Elites. Even the insane people at the World Economic Forum want to eradicate home gardens and air conditioning and reduce bathing and washing clothes. In this year, which was supposedly going to be laced with numerous central bank interest rate cuts around the world, the price of war is always inflation, and that is proving to be the real direction with the prospect of G10 nations quietly starting to resist rate cuts.

Fairness Doctrine R

Once upon a time, there was what was known as the Fairness Doctrine that did not require preapproval from a central place to decide if it was fair. It simply required that they present both sides. Therefore, they would have to have an opposing view to say why the other side is wrong. They did that when the President made that State of the Union Address. The opposition party gets the same amount of time to say he was wrong and why. It is about presenting both sides – not that someone approves it is fair or not, or you were to only present one side.

Lenin on Press

The Fairness Doctrine that once existed was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission’s view — honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, and in August of 2011, the FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine. Ever since then, the media has had a field day and has degenerated into the very same tool that the Communists used for their revolution in Russia.

This Fairness Doctrine should become law and extend to print media, including all newspapers! If the First Amendment DOES NOT protect free speech to scream “fire” in a theatre, then why does mainstream media have a right to distort the news to create their personal political agenda?

Prison

The mainstream media should be stripped of their license if they present unbalanced information and refuse to stop propagandizing. Freedom of the Press is not the freedom to report only what they want in the way they want. If they claim to be reporting news, then it has to be unbiased news. Opinion is for op-eds, and they must report both views. STOP THE PROPAGANDA NOW!

Facts Opinion

It would be interesting to see how many journalists would end up behind bars if they refused to report the facts. Nobody will report the truth about Ukraine. That is sad because they support the death of millions of people for politics.

Donald Trump will be stepping into what will prove to be the most corrupt debate in American History that is, at best, a left-wing minefield as CNN, whose moderators are prepared to embarrass the country with their bias and attempt to rig the election as always. CNN has long lost any dignity and has become such a LEFT PROPAGANDA Machine, they desire to have their personal taxes doubled if not tripled so they can sleep at night knowing that their money is going to Ukraine to kill Russians.

Mr. Trump accepted CNN’s invitation to debate Mr. Biden. Since then, Trump supporters have lamented as CNN exposed its true colors, establishing CNN’s biased and highly unfavorable terms of the debate. The candidates will have no live audience and no chance to interrupt each other. Jake Tapper, who is the lead political leftist for CNN, probably cries at night that he has personal material wealth as he prays for the day when he will own nothing and be extremely happy. He will be accompanied by Dana Bash/Schwartz, Jewish, whose family were Hungarian Jews who fled the Russians. They are the far-LEFT moderators; so far, they might find it hard to walk a straight line in a DWI test if pulled over.

Trump will be taunted and abused, and CNN will do everything in its power to steer America into the Democrats so they can wage World War III and get their ratings back up. Both Bash and Tapper have broadcast their disdain, if not personal hatred, of Donald Trump. Why expect anything different from CNN. They have even compared Trump using “the dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler” and called his four years in office a “long national nightmare.” They just love death and destruction for the LEFT always see themselves as victims so they are now cheering World War III and hope all the Republican children are drafted and eliminated for the future.

Mainstream media is not going to be satisfied until they unleash civil war on America because of personal hatred and biases. NEVER in my entire life have I ever witnessed such disgusting people claiming to be journalists on both sides.

President Trump MAGA Rally – Philadelphia, PA – 7:00pm ET


Posted originally on the CTH on June 22, 2024 | Sundance 

President Donald Trump is going directly into the heart of the Biden campaign apparatus tonight and holding a MAGA rally in the center of the Biden operation.   Remember, Joe Biden has visited Philadelphia more than any other place.  This was the venue for Biden’s red speech celebrating evil.  Only the deepest political followers will note this Trump rally is intentionally taking place in the most critical area for the ballot fraud that Biden needs to duplicate in November.

The rally venue is Temple University campus arena in North Philly on Broad Street.  This is where the MOVE group was firebombed by the Democrat mayor.  This is Pennsylvania equivalent of holding a MAGA rally in Atlanta, directly in Fani Willis’s living room.  This is the center of corrupt radical politics in the Northeast/Tri-State area.  This is akin to a MAGA rally in Mordor atop Mount Doom.  This is so far beyond Boss level, the light from the place where Based originates it couldn’t reach MAGA Emperor Trump for a year.

This is bold, BIG TIME…. And the media know it but won’t talk about it.  Venue: The Liacouras Center – 1776 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19121 – President Trump is anticipated to begin his remarks in the belly of the Biden race baiting beast at 7:00pm ET.  Livestream Links Below:

A Trump Majority SCOTUS?


Posted originally on Jun 18, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Supreme Court Building

Former President Obama has been active in the media lately as he attempts to garner votes for Joe Biden. This certainly does not give the impression of a leader, as Biden is relying on the likeability of his former president since he continues to fall short. Both men are using fear tactics to sway confused voters. The latest threat is that the next president will have the ability to appoint two new Supreme Court justices and that it will change the landscape of the United States entirely.

“The next president is likely to have two new Supreme Court nominees. Two more. He’s already appointed two that have been very negative in terms of rights of individuals,” Biden commented. Trump named three justices during his term – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanagh and Amy Coney Barrett – cementing the conservative majority on the bench.”

Every president since Jimmy Carter has nominated a Supreme Court justice. One should vote as if the next president WILL appoint a SCOTUS as they seem to come in waves. The Supreme Court of the United States was created over 233 years ago in 1789 and there have been 116 serving Justices. Justices are appointed for life, with the average Justice serving for around 16 years. Cyclically, a new judge enters the SCOTUS every two to three years.

George W. Bush had the opportunity to appoint two Justices (Alito and Roberts), Obama appointed two (Kagan and Sotomayor), Trump three (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett), while Biden has appointed one (Jackson).

So yes, the Supreme Court could potentially become one that is predominately elected by Trump if he secures the election. Yet, six of the nine Justices were already appointed by Republicans. The oldest Justice, Clarence Thomas, 74, was appointed by George H.W. Bush, while the second oldest, Samuel Alito, 72, was appointed by his son, George W. Bush. Sotomayor, 68, is the oldest Democrat-elect as she was appointed by Obama. If the Republicans secure a victory, they would likely be replacing conservative Justices with other conservative Justices. There would not be some major shift in the Supreme Court as they want the people to fear.

Additionally, the latest appointment, Jackson, 51, seems to be the most radical appoint to date. She refused to acknowledge the existence of women who compose 50% of the population and she is the second-youngest service member of the SCOTUS with no plans to retire in the near future. Even Sotomayor, Obama’s appointee, does not appear to be far-left. Appointing new members to the highest court if one of the most influential aspects of presidency. I would foresee more major shifts in policies if the Supreme Court were filled with Justices appointed under Biden as his selections lean heavily to the extreme left where reason and logic does not exist.
