Donald Trump, his case that went to the Supreme Court about, well, related to presidential immunity just came down.

In a six to three decision, they have sided with the office of the president. Here is the Supreme Court ruling. I’ll just give you the summary real quick. It says it’s the Trump versus United States and it says a federal grand jury indicted former president Donald J. Trump on four counts of conduct that occurred during his presidency following the November 2020 election. The indictment alleged that after losing that election, Trump conspired to overturn it by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the collecting, counting, and certifying of the presidential results.

Trump moved to dismiss the indictment based on presidential immunity, arguing that a president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions performed within the outer perimeter of his official responsibilities and that the indictment’s allegations fell within the core of his official duties. The district court denied Trump’s motion to dismiss holding that former presidents do not possess federal criminal immunity for any acts. The DC circuit affirmed both the district court and the DC circuit declined to decide whether the indicted conduct involves official acts. Held under our constitutional structure of separation of powers, the nature of presidential power entitles a former president to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.

And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts. This decision was rendered by Chief Justice Roberts, in which Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh joined in full, and in which Amy Coney Barrett joined except as to part three, Clarence Thomas filed a concurring opinion, Justice Barrett filed an opinion concurring in part, and Sonia Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion in which Kagan and Jackson joined. Jackson also filed a dissenting opinion. Now real quick, I’ll link this down below if you want to read the entire decision.

It is 119 pages. That’s the quick summary. Most people will be satisfied with that. But during her rant in her dissent, Sotomayor said this. She said that absolute immunity would apply to any purpose, even the most corrupt. This is just as bad as it sounds and is baseless. Argument by argument, the majority invents immunity through brute force. Obviously, uh, each one of these presidents as each one of our presidents has the opportunity to appoint justices to the Supreme Court. And in general, they’re, they’re picked based off of their extreme loyalty to the party.

So obviously a party divide here. What do you think? We’ve had a couple rulings in the last week and a half in the Supreme Court that have affected decisions made by the corner office. And this one, uh, this case has been remanded back down to the lower court to determine if this even goes to trial now. Um, so it’s not, and it’s not over yet. It’s a big win for, uh, the constitution. If you believe that presidents, uh, when they’re in office and they’re official duties, as long as they’re constitutional, they’re absolute.

And now there are a lot of people who don’t believe that that’s fine. And obviously the party that’s in power now, uh, don’t believe that until the tables are turned on them. Right. And that’s what’s sad about America. We’re never supposed to be like this. Let me know what you think down below. Does this affect how you think at all? As we approach November, do you not care at all? Let me know. Thank you to Brownells and thank you to John Patton and the gun collective for, uh, having me out at gun con.
