Tribe: We cannot ‘roll over and play dead’ in face of ‘astonishing’ immunity ruling

- Harvard Law School Constitutional Law Professor Laurence Tribe speaks to MSNBC's Ali Velshi about concrete steps Americans can take to push back against the Supreme Court decision granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts while in office. “We now have an imperial judiciary walking arm in arm with an imperial executive," Tribe warns. "And we need to take these things not as given just because the highest court in the land has said so, but as inconsistent with our aspirations to democracy."

Deepest respect to Mr Tribe.
That dude is a D-Rat shill.
He even told us that the attempts to remove Trump from the ballots were of course legal.
The SC decided otherwise, with 9-0.
As an European lawyer I am often stunned about which hacks can get a law degree in the USA. Tribe has one, doesn't he?
This is the easiest vote decision in year's. We will NOT become Germany from WW2.
WE THE PEOPLE will stand together and refuse to bow to a king
Do mean wannabe Kings like FDR who stripped Americans of their rights and forced them into internment camps?
Trump has already said he doesn’t need votes. He needs to count the votes. He has control of the Supreme Court. We are foolish to think our votes will be fairly counted.
The Supreme Court and American conservatives feel otherwise
4014, what a positive position! I’m all for that but the margins are close. I am frightened.

Put it on the ballot. Do you think president is above the law? No.
Only the millions of illegal immigrants are above the law.
😅😅😅. Well then, Clinton, obummer and traitor joe should be in prison. Ellen the cheating cannibal supporter
Our votes will not be counted. To put it another way, our votes will be counted by the Supreme Court. Putting things on the ballot is nearly meaningless.
If the Supreme Court wants the president to be above the law, then Biden should show them what’s that’s like
Every President abuses their power including your esteemed leader and yet the Supreme Court gave him immunity so what's good for President Trump is good for him

It’s very sad that SC justices have to be policed on corruption. They are citizens, and just as any US citizen, should be held to the same standard of civil conduct.
I agree we must work to amend the Constitution
TTJS exists and lawmakers and judges are ABOVE the law. What a country.
SCOTUS should be held to HIGHER standards because their rulings affects millions of people. This immunity is just wrong. What do we do?
they have already broken federal bribery law, then they just made a decision that LEGALIZES IT.
@@Here4TheHeckOfIt they do need to be held to a higher standard. Alito and Thomas are a disgrace
Since when does the Supreme Court get to make new laws and retro it back in time? "Absolute Immunity" is nowhere in the Constitution or current law!
Is that what the SCOTUS ruling said?
Go back and read the ruling😂
Cheating cannibal supporters really that ignorant?
Since the Federalist Society took the power.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was as simple and clear as anything in the document, but this Court decided to make it all up with that opinion as well. Let's face it, they are not going to rule on anything as it pertains to the Constitution because they are in line with the Heritage Foundation and wast to get rid of the Constitution.
Agree with Prof. Tribe. Forget about impeaching Alito and Thomas, more important things to do, like preserving US democracy. Secure the independence of the DoJ from the executive; amend the Constitution where necessary, so that no one is immune from prosecution by virtue of the office he held; enlarge the SC and appoint an Inspector General to oversee its ethics, as it seems incapable of policing itself.
Thomas SHOULD be impeached.
The notion that rampant corruption is fine infuriates me and all of those, like you, that shrug about it are how we got here.
Tribe doesn't care about democracy. He tried to convince the electoral college to ignore the will of the people and vote against Trump in 2016 even if their state voted for Trump
Well DONE! We need you on the team sir! 🗳️🗳️💙💙
"Preserving US democracy"?
-Which party imprisons political opponents?
- Which party censors political speech?
- Which party removes opposition candidates from ballots?
- Which party lies to the voters about the mental infirmities of the president?
I always agree with Professor Tribe. Trump should never have been allowed to run. NEVER!! Yes to Inspector General.
It’s just the media that sees no road forward. We the people are enraged and ready to reverse this court in any way necessary. Thank you, Lawrence Tribe for giving us options.
Well the right wants a civil war to amend it their way. They have already been using violence to do so. 1/6
Geez! Can't we just say that any president who cannot govern without breaking the law DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT!!!! That used to be a GIVEN and went without saying! 😠
And then stupid people who do stupid things put Donnie as fantasy president. What smartness was to come with and from that ?
Spot on! common sense is that when a president brake the law its out, no delays, no long trials, no bs.

Joe Biden is not above the law
hunter is laughing.
It's not an absurd notion anymore. It's reality now.
It's laughable that people think they are going to put an ex-President in jail or prison. A President or ex-President knows every secret to this country and it would be a security risk to mix them in with your average citizen. It will never, ever, ever, ever, ever happen.

We are foolish to think our votes will be counted fairly. The court must be suspended. It must be shut down.
Growing our judiciary is not a Republican Party vs. Democratic Party issue. It is an increased population issue. It is an expanded geographic territory issue. It is an urbanization issue. It is a caseload vs. workforce issue. A pragmatic structural analysis comparing the First Circuit to the Ninth Circuit, the number of Circuits to the number of Supreme Court Justices and the extensive backlog of cases at every level provides observable, measurable proof our judicial system is fractured. The structural integrity of the judicial branch is at risk. We need a seismic retrofit.
Then we'll let djt take care of it when he's back in.

Interesting but not surprising to see the fear mongering and lying.
Hate to tell this clown but amendments are not voted on by the people as a whole.

Shows how uneducated you are nothing changed.
They didn't. Presidents have always had immunity. Obama had a US citizen killed in a drone strike. Acting like it only applies to Trump. Congress has the power to convice a President.
While Tribe wants to amend the constitution, let's do 2 things; 1) establish standards for SC justice behavior that have teeth. and 2) put 2 more justices on the court.
We have 13 Federal Judicial Districts. Justices oversee them. So, 4 more.
I'd also suggest there needs to be minimum years of experience for anyone to become a judge and minimum years as a judge before anyone can be on the Supreme Court. Having statutory minimums limits corruption.
We can add them when djt is back in.
4 more justices!

I sincerely deeply hate to tell you this, but they just did. The Chevron ruling this past week was just as impactful as the immunity ruling, but it's getting less coverage. It basically guts all regulatory authority from experts in respective agencies (something that has worked in this country for over a hundred years) and puts it into the legislative branch. You want Majorie decided what is a safe height before you need a harness? It's 4ft btw.

How could the Supreme Court make a decision that has such dire, nation-destroying consequences ?
They have joined the cult, that's how.
Professor, your observations are timely. Just yesterday, the UK elected a new government. The Prime Minister is now Sir Kier Starmer. He only entered politics ten years ago. He was precluded from expressing his party preference publicly before that. Why? Because he was the Director of Public Prosecutions for England & Wales - a national DA if you like. Such public servants are explicity forbidden to belong to or publicly support any political party, to prevent criminal prosecutions even giving the appearance of being partisan.
No one names their kid Kier unless they’re a pinko commie so I think everyone knew what politics he had.
Here in the UK we subscribe to the belief that ' justice must not only be done but seen to be done '. Any sign of impropriety is unacceptable. There is no way that our Justice System would tolerate the corruption that is present in your Supreme Court.
Agree judges shouldn’t donate to political parties, or have children raising millions for political parties or be married to people working for political parties …. Same for people in law enforcement etc…. Creates too much conflict of interest

@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 I wish we had something like that law here. As it is now, when politicians quit congress they become lobbies, and then pander for some wealthy special interest group to the very government which 2 weeks ago they were representing.
Thank you Professor Laurence Tribe, always a privilege to listen to you.
Amend. Amend. Amend. Add more judges. Oversight. Whatever possible solutions---now.
The Constitution is fine. It directs the President to "take care that the laws are faithfully executed" which requires an independent Department of Justice.
The Supreme Court has directed the Department of Justice not to faithfully execute the laws, which prevents the President from fulfilling his Constitutional mandate so this is a Constitutional Crisis.
The Justices that voted for immunity are giving aid and comfort to an Insurrection. Since the 14th Amendment was determined unanimously to not be self executing, in regards to states, we need the President to call for immediate legislation for its implementation. When that is resisted the Republican Senators and Representatives have also given aid and comfort to an insurrection. Not the Jan 6th insurrection but the one led by the Supreme Court who have weaponized their positions to destroy the government. If you look at it as a Conspiracy against the United States you can see how their decisions on gerrymandering, bribes being allowable gratuities, pregnant woman and girls have no rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and other decisions are meant to divide and weaken the country. Their intent is clear in how their decisions depart from the Constitution and founding principles.
If legislation isn't passed, the President can declare the 14th amendment is self enacting, by him, since the ruling was about states. It is a Presidential necessity in critical times like this so he can begin removing Justices and office holders that have weaponized their official positions in a civil war to destroy the Constitution and prevent the President from his mandate to:
"take care that the laws are faithfully executed".
Biden can't use the immunity, which is unconstitutional, but he can use the powers the Constitutional powers he has to try and stop the traitors.
"What is "Constitutional" is what five of nine Supreme Court Justices say it is". Right now, Biden COULD use his immunity. Until this SC decision is rolled back in some extraordinary way, it is the law of the land.
A bit long-winded but you make some very good points.
Alternately it is up to the voters to elect members of Congress who are in line with the Constitution and the affirmation of checks-and-balance on three branches of government!
That would only be Republicans, probably contrary to what you think is the case…Democrats are for unlimited government power which is contrary to the Constitution….We have a Republic…..look it up….
U.S I present THE 3 step solution: 1) ELECT your SCOTUS justices [4 year terms, 2 tops], 2) Kick the electoral college to the curb, 3) Let the MAJORITY of the voters decide who become POTUS, SCOTUS or Whatever-us!
At least we're on the outside looking in. Imagine having to get up every day, if you lived in the US? I feel so sorry for the good ones. And yes, I agree with your suggestions, especially ditching the electoral college. Canadian here.
I Agree on 4 year terms two terms max.
@@marthabunting2833 Yup.
Mr. Tribe, do you think there should be a minimum age so that the justices have more experience in both the law and life . There should also be a certain period of time e.g. 60 days for checking a nominee and a maximum period during which a vote must be taken. McConnell flagrantly used his authority when he did not allow a vote on an Obama justice and quickly allowed a vote to take place on Trump justices.
You are nibbling at the edges. The court needs to be shut down. Donald Trump has already said he doesn’t need votes, he just needs to count the votes. This court cannot be permitted to arbitrate voting disputes. They have no intention of counting our votes. Wake up!

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." - the President's oath of office. Does that not mean he/she is promising to abide by the rule of law, as set out in the Constitution? (Equal justice for all under the law.) How can it be an official act, if the President then acts outside of the scope of the law, and tramples over equality under the law for e.g. Liz Cheney? He then acts outside of his oath.
'Due Process: The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process of law, which means *the government cannot deprive someone of life, liberty, or property without following established legal procedures.*
Equal Protection: The Fourteenth Amendment also prohibits states from denying any person "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" or "the equal protection of the laws." This ensures *everyone is subject to the same laws and legal processes.'*
You missed the most important part: both the President and the Supreme Court took oaths to "preserve, protect and defend the United States Constitution". The six Justices just violated their oaths + it's the President's duty to stop them.

House & Senate Democrat Leaderships need to do More, President Biden can't Do It All himself,especially when you Bashing your President over a stumble over a sentence in his paragraph in a 90 minute debate, MAN UP AND HELP YOUR PRESIDENT CARRY HIS TWO TERM FULLY.
Article 3 section 2 of the constitution gives Congress the power to make regulations and exceptions for Supreme Court jurisdiction.
Quoted:
“In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.”
A democratic Congress could do this. It would only require a majority, not two thirds, and they could bring to heel those little kings and queens on the court.
Greatly appreciate judge Tribe opinions
Ali, ur the best.
Alleged criminal actions are prosecuted under the laws in place at the time of the action. Presidential immunity was not in place at the time of DJT alleged criminal actions.
There are no criminal actions, it's all made up leftist delusions
SCOTUS are not claiming to make a new law because they don't have that authority. They are claiming that this was always the case stemming from the separation of powers. It is complete BS, but that is what they are claiming.
But rabid prosecutors make up laws …. Like the Fisher case or the 14 th amendment, like Rico for Trump…. The Supreme Court had to defend democracy from rabid prosecution by stating precedent
The ruling was intended to facilitate Project 2025.
Article I, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution reads as follows:
"Clause 6 Impeachment Trials
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Clause 7 Impeachment Judgments
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
Though any intelligent person would say it doesn't get more clear cut than that, apparently there are 6 Supreme Court justices who think the President IS ABOVE THE LAW. This is worth reiterating. A President may or may not be impeached by the Senate for unlawful acts, but regardless of that outcome, the President is still "liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law".
Professor Tribe is spot on. We need term limits instead of life-long appointments for federal judges and Supreme Court justices, an inspector general, and the DOJ needs to be separate from the Executive Branch. In the meantime, the 6 SC justices that made this immunity ruling for the US President should be impeached and disbarred for so blatantly eviscerating Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 of the Constitution.
Thank you!
Thank god Tribe is giving interviews. This man's knowledge and judgment is worth 5-6 supreme court justices
What does he mean about he doesn't agree with Impeaching Thomas and others in the Court for criminality, because he is not sure he they have acted criminaly, although he thinks they probably have? What? All of these Justices must be Impeached. They Impeached themselves with this Unconstitutional, and Illegal decision. The Constitution does not give the Supreme Court the right to Add to, or to Take out, anything in The Constitution. That requires a Constitutional Amendment that must be agreed to by a 2/3rds vote in both Houses and a President to sign it into Law. They have acted Illegally, and Unconstitutionally by making this decision, because they have NO Constitutional Powers given to them in The Constitution to do any of this. They have acted against the Constitution that states there SHALL be 3 Branches of Government. Each, Co-Equal in Power. Neither Branch of Government was to have any more power than the other. That is what The Constitution says. The Supreme Court has acted Illegally with this decision because it goes directly against the Law of this Land. The Constitution. It makes The Constitution Null, and Void, because it is no longer enforceable. They have no power to do any of this. They are just doing it. The court in Invalid. Not, The Constitution. Where in The Constitution does it say that the Supreme Court can Add to, or Take out, whatever they want from The Constitution? Where does it say that the Supreme Court can remove the separation of powers all on their own even though that is what The Constitution calls for? It doesn't. Where does the Constitution say that the Supreme Court has the power to do any of this? It doesn't. Where does The Constitution give the power to the Supreme Court to make Our President above the Law? All of this goes directly against everything The Constitution says. This is not just a Supreme Court decision. This Politically motivated Judicial Coup, to overthrow Our Democracy and The Constitution. This must be reversed. If not, Americans will no longer be a Free People. There is No Freedom in a Dictatorship. Even if that Dictator is Biden. Right now, Biden is the Dictator. Biden has all power. Biden can stop all of this and answer the call of Frredom and Democracy for the People of the United States for generations to come to enjoy. Will he use his new Dictator powers to set back right Our Democracy? Will he use his unlimited powers to give back to the American People all the trust we have put into him, and return to us the America we all grew up in? Or will he be satisfied by being Americas first Dictator, and leave us to deal with all the evil to come sooner or later to us? I guess we will see. So far he has done nothing, so don't hold your breath. Reverse this decision or be damned.
Bingo. That is the very clear boil on the face of the US judicial system. (I am from the UK)
Nobody cares where you are from Tinkerbell😂😂😂
Lots of outsiders here, hardly any americans.
@@Supremewin777 It matters if you are commenting on another countries processes and decisions but thanks for the tinker bell it suggests I am light on my feet. Spot on.
@@kelperdude Lots of comrades like you, though. How are the turnips tonight? Did you get salt with them this time?
@@andrewbaker8373 Don't encourage it. It's a 3 month old bot account.
So why didn't the court reform committee Tribe was on then increase the court, which he says they were talking about?
Because it was even too radical for an undemocratic party and they didn’t have the votes
Wow! Professor Tribe
Thank you Mr Velshi for having Lawrence Tribe on! He is the greatest!
Bad decisions can be overturned later. A la the Dread Scott decision. Give us time.
Just like Roe V Wade.
Reparations for black people under a new dress Scott law😊
Yes, yes!
YES YES to Professor Tribe
Presidents have always i repeat always had unspoken level of immunity but now its Trump😂😂😂😂
Presidents have never had immunity from criminal acts, that is why Nixon got a pardon from Ford.
But how and when is this going to happen ? Can that be done under President Bidden. If that is not possible it will be to late. If there is a vote on that in the House or Senate. The Republicans will vote it down. So how can this be solved is my question ?
There are currently not enough blue votes to pass it. Will have to get a Democratic majority in November to clean up this mess.
Why could we not have many more people like Prof. Tribe in roles governing our democracy?!?!!! There is not anything supreme in the Court so I refuse to refer to them as such from now on.
I call them the Supremely Corrupt Court.
Vote blue save democracy
Trump 2024🎉
Heard of 'super delegates"? You are a Constitutional Republic! Not a 'democracy'
We cannot roll over!
NEVER!!! We WONT BACK DOWN!
I suspect you have a spinal injury then! LOL
