In a historic decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled on Monday that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution. The 6-3 ruling by the court's right-wing majority - including all three justices appointed by Trump - was issued on the final day of the Supreme Court's term and just four months ahead of November's presidential election. It will further delay Trump's criminal trial for leading the January 6 insurrection. The ruling upends more than two centuries of legal precedent, for the first time shielding U.S. presidents from criminal accountability. "In one fell swoop, this court has essentially left the American people to the whims of the president of the United States - any president of the United States, but particularly Mr. Trump," says Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW. We also speak with Lisa Graves, executive director of the watchdog group True North Research, who says the Supreme Court's conservative wing has left the country "unmoored from the rule of law" by adopting such an expansive view of presidential power. "This decision is the most reckless and dangerous decision ever issued by the U.S. Supreme Court," says Graves.

This court must be held accountable and save us from these reckless cowardly men
What a loss for our country
there is gonna be no country left very soon - Trump and the fascists from project 2025 will make sure of that - welcome to American christian nationalist, corporate dictatorship.
Let's not forget the irony that Trump wanted to lock up Hilary over use of a private email server
It's not Irony because hillary was actually guilty of serious crimes. Trump is not.
The United States is now United Banana States with criminals and sex offenders immune from going to jail and picking soaps for Bubba 😂

Every Supreme Court Justice should be completely neutral.Our whole government should be completely neutral
They ARE neutral, thats hiw we got a reminder that the president has already been protected with immunity. This is nothing new! This is just the neutral supreme court stepping in to put an end to the corrupt legal warfare against a leading presidential candidate. And if you were smart, you would see the shell game happening right before your eyes. This ultimately is to protect clinton, bush, obama and biden from perceived prosecutions from Trump since they fear he will win. This is isn’t about Trump, it’s about using him as the straw man to bring in protections for the real criminals
Obama, Biden, Shumer, Pelosi, Democrats and the woke media are screwed forever.
If you mean our whole government needs to be guided by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, I agree. Otherwise . . .
Why do you even think there might be a Supreme Court? When there's a injustice they balance the Scale from those who abuse it...lady liberty is blindfolded for a Purpose. Justice for All.
It goes to a lower court now for them to decide what he's immune for This doesn't mean he's completely immune to everything Just most of the things that are presidential acts
No one is asking the most pertinent question, why? Why would a seated US president need to violate the laws they are SWORN to uphold?!

@@erikamonterroso7743 Or W, Obama, Clinton, etc...etc...etc...
Hey, what happens to the rest of us pee-ons when we decide this law just ain't for me?!
REALLY? To steal an election, maybe?
Question: Does the SCOTUS ruling therefore allow the current president to incarcerate the former president as a risk to national security?
Answer: yes 👍. They could do ANYTHING as long as it’s “official” and done using state resources. Buckle up.
Obribem already has. You been in a coma or something?
WHEN THE BLOODY HELL DO ANY AMERICANS WAKE UP?
Some people are waking up, but lots of us already knew that joe was a baked potato 3 years ago.
As an American I know that my elected representatives are not representing the people. And haven't for a long time. And I have been waiting for my fellow citizens to wake up for quite a while now but I do believe that they are starting to.

Totalitarianism
When has any president been prosecuted for official duties? Totalitarianism is when the Democrats went after their Republican political opponent with lawfare.
When the Democrats went after Trump with bogus charges.
WOWOWOWOW PEOPLE!!!
THESE replies scare me in that the level of actual understanding of this decision is beyond so many apparently. A president of a company needs the ability to reign in his own position to best 🎉practices of being human and imperfect. Before criticizing,proof you can do better seems lacking in these comments.Why would anyone allow someone to aspire to our presidents and😢if you can't prove you are smarter!

This is a Republic not a Biden Democrat Dictatorship Democracy they're Not Protected from the LAW..
America is becoming a f...joke😢
The founding Fathers did not want to put up with a King, Authoritarian, Dictator, Tyrant. How this fits in with the principals of America is a complete mystery.
Not mystery ! America has always double standards with people in power.
The Bushes who waged wars should have been prosecuted.
Because there is no King, Authoritarian, Dictator or Tyrant.
JUST LIARS
They made this up out of whole cloth; there is no Constitutional precedent that supports it, in fact it shouts against it.
Because past precedent… don’t you people read?!?🤦♀️

A President Must be Accountable or dire consequences could result.
The Wrong Person in the Presidential Position could potentially Destroy America from within!
Then there should be something in the constitution that allows the removal of a president.
@7018bluegrass: Tragically, this is already well underway.

I think u should educate yourself on the things America's president's did n didn't get the trump treatment 😂😂😂😂
Yeah we know! That's why intelligent people want Sniffy Joe OUT!
Funny ppl. Just put your political opponents in jail. That is what these ppl want.
yes ! right now please
Y'all picked him, America. He put his stooges in courts, and THIS IS THE RESULT!!! BUTTTTTTTT, to MAGA Repugs, I'll say this: Be careful what you wish for!!
America didn't pick him. The majority voted against him. He was manipulated into office by big money who wanted a guy who can be bought.
He lost the popular vote… in fact the last 3 republican presidents lost the popular vote.
So no, the majority of the people wanted Trump
@Sunflower_Cats I don't think you understand. If Trump lost the popular vote, ummmm the MAJORITY DID NOT wanted Trump.

The point is correct. Biden could now order the retirement of all supreme court judges. And due to their own ruling nobody could come for him. It shows the stupidity of the decision. @AlphaQHard
This rule of law helps provide protection of past presidents too. Which would give Obama and bush free passes as well from any activity they did
So why Biden is crying about 😢😢 that includes him isn’t ??!!!! they just want Trump destroyed isn’t it ??! And what’s not dangerous Biden doing He is the Criminal Pelosi, Obama, Hilary Paul Ryan , on and on and on !!!!”😡😤😤

they can't seem to see that.
Not all president need this but Trump absolutely does as the mountain of felonies against him prove. No other president has gone on a crime spree like he did.
Ha, do you actually think Alito and Thomas would give immunity to Biden. They are making this up as they go, this is all to help Trump.
NOOOO, the President must be the ONE who is prime example of a good citizen who abides by the law!
Yes but the laws have changed to protect the king trump from being prosecuted , Joe remove the current justices and pack it with your own picks. It’s an official act!

Perhaps this is what Americans need to wake up and pay attention to whom they put in power. There should definitely be a reform of the Supreme Court as they cannot be trusted. They should have a limited number of years in service.
LOL, all sides have disagreements with the supreme court. Unfortunately for the american commies, this decisions is an obviously correct one.

Depends. Is it an official presidential action? Or, in military terms, is it a lawful order?
Why not? Since the SCOTUS says tRump is immune from prosecution for carrying out his duties as POTUS, then why can't biden also be immune? Did he not swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution? Aren't tRump and his party planning to discard the Constitution and write a new fascist one? Why can't biden order tRump's arrest and execution as part of his duties to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution?

It's sad and quite frankly scary what's happening in this country. The reality is.....We're headed towards very dark times!
Progressives have had their way to the detriment of society.
The Supreme Court should just dispense with the nonpartisan pretense. and just say Make America Great Again at the end of their Rulings.
Step by step collapse, a break down of humanity
You obviously are stuck in the left wing media narrative and cannot discern actual reality. We’re already there. The only man outside of this system is being attacked at EVERY level because the Democrat establishment knows that if someone outside of their club gets elected they will be exposed. It will be very hard for you to grapple with the idea that you have been brainwashed and duped. And I mean that.
Oh no! Should we all run to our bunkers?
Or their mommy's basement
This is how a democracy becomes an autocracy.
No impeachment?
Sad day and Bad news for democracy 😔 thats what fears me, that America would end up being like the Handmaids Tale and Alex Garland's Civil War movie predictions.
Good thing we are a constitutional republic and the constitution was upheld in this instance.
Now we can get on with the business of dealing with the country's problems instead of going after political opponents due to a total lust for power and control.
The problem with dictators like Biden is they do so poorly and they want to take away something better.... socialism is equal misery for all, and without this ruling we all would be screwed
I'm glad we never had a democracy. Democracy is a straight road to tyranny of the majority. But if you want to believe we live in a democracy, you should be pleased when the people of this nation elect DJT.
Do you have any idea what Democracy is?
Those cases are over. Let's move on.
That’s not what the ruling says at all, but what else would expect an extremely liberal justice to say completely disregarding the decision.
YT doesn’t want you seeing comments that support your comment. Libs are totally nuts. Biden’s too old to be charged & Obama for the drone strikes on 🇺🇸’s. Imagine they cared about girls safety with such conviction. Dems are so mad they can’t weaponize the highest court like the FBI, DOJ. DHS.
Like the justices disregarded the 1/6 case, went around it & created a new protections for a wannabe "Dictator day one"
It's a skill issue if a president needs immunity
All I can hope is that the military remembers their outh, because at this point the Supreme Court has no regard for anything in this Country.
This protects Obama from going down for using the military to kill American citizens.
Explain. Why are you upset?

@@mevinsmiley5210
Because things are not going their way. “Protecting democracy” means protecting their democracy. If we’re winning, they choose violence.

Biden needs to step down! But he will be happy to have this ruling!
Happy how? He’s not going to do anything with it.
Why on earth does Joe not arrest and put trump in jail?
Because he's not a psycho, something the maga SCOTUS cynically are banking on.

At the confirmation hearings of Alito and Kavanagh they both affirmed that no one is above the law, even Presidents. So much for their word.
Trump was in his right to challenge the election. It’s a Presidential right.

It is interesting that the ruling by scotus does not include treason. Hmmm!
Exactly even though the changed the law of the President. We the ppl need to make sure there is nobody elected to office that would not even need to have to use immunity if so should not be in office
Grow uo, get informed. They are just reiterating that presidential immunity has been the case since 1789 under the constitution. They had to step in because of the corrupt legal warfare against an ex president and lead candidate for the next election cycle. I bet you can’t even formulate into words why you hate Trump. You have just been lied to so overwhelmingly and absurdly that you can’t even see past it.
You have no idea why there is even Presidental Immunity of a President. Look it up, it's a shame the Supreme Court even had to be used. Political Interferrence is a Crime. No one is above the Law, I hope these people who tried to inact on this Political Crime gets prosecuted.
As scotus ruled in 1972 that's living with year head in the sand. No man among us is perfect. Job of POTUS is very complicated and often requires snap decisions. When thought over later they often think I was under extreme stress and pressure when I made that call. Id of done it different if I could of thought it true. And because we're all imperfect there needs to be wiggle room. Your statement is absurd. We're not a monarch when the same people do the same thing for a thousand years. Every situation is different. We elect the president from men just like us put pants on one leg at a time.
Vote against genocide and fascism!

Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, Trump, and Biden broke many US and international laws in committing war crimes. they already set immunity precedent.
It's not over, Biden and the rest of them are next 🤓
I will take your statement at face value, all this does is literally affirm the precedent that has been set since the inception of the constitution.
Everyone forgetting that a president is held to account through impeachment and conviction through the senate. If a president assasinated a Justice or political opponent what do you think would happen?
He would be impeached and convicted through the proper channels, not in some state court.
This "the sky is falling" hysteria is pure stupidity and political gaslighting.
Start thinking about us, Gen Z. You’re just a boomer who won’t live long enough, anyway. The future is for us. We, Gen Z will vote and elect Donald Trump. Stop watching The View. You’re the selfish generation.
"and am sick and frozen." Like potato joe?
They do realize they just gave Joe Biden absolute power
You know you could just impeach and remove a POTUS right? Oh yeah that's right: you can't get 67 senate votes to do that. Bummer. Try harder, maybe bring a better case for trial, instead of inventing new ways to convict a president you don't like.
Amen
How can a president a person that works for the people not for the government for the people.why would he or she not follow the rules of his people as he or she is themselves a member of the people.the law is the law and no one is suppose to be above the law. What's going on world?

@@jphillips2471 I appreciate Your Comment. We must Join forces to fight effectively in this Spiritual warfare or the Angelic Conflict.
You do know that as an African American man yourself. That Netanyahu and tje people of Israel stole your whole entire identity right? Negroes, are tje true chosen people of the scriptures. You're just not reading the book in your hand properly and that's sad.
I will pray with you in a distant too. Demonrats are pure evil. If they control the house once again, they will convert America to Commun ism. They jailed the 350+ valid American voters for protesting because 2020 election was scammed. Many of them witnessed the deception. When news broke that 1M peoples will march at Washington DC to protest because of the scam election, Pelosi and her criminal partners planned for Insurrection charge against Trump and those they jailed. She rejected Trump's request for thousands of security. I pray that Pelosi, Garland will be jailed. Why? Because they are so evil and corrupt. We must help Trump and all Godly leaders to make America Godly again.
Awesome ! God bless !
Seems to me all presidents would have immunity from prosecution, I think Mr. Biden will need this ruling.
I Agree ☝🏻
Big time! And Biden's justice department has been weaponized against his political opponent. That was the reason for this ruling. Biden very dangerously overplayed the political persecution. It was so obvious, he forced the Court.
This ruling is actually protecting Joe Biden from necessary prosecution he deserves while being the worst President ever!!!!
Did you actually read the ruling? Ffs you lefties are lame
Actually Nixon was going to subject to prosecution once he was removed from office BUT Nixon did a deal securing a deal with the Congress and DOJ that he would not be impeached and prosecuted IF he resigned from office!
This ruling makes the unelected people behind the throne more powerful .
Why would we need a president if that one person is not accountable by any standard. Eliminate the office if it has no purpose for the American people
Nixon would have been happy for this ruling. Corruption is the new normal in politics.
Wow this should be only for us but not Trump!!! Only Obama, Hilary, Biden , Hilary Poul, pelosi on and on and on what do you call this Corruption, Hate , Evil ,Communist, Globalist all the above ?!?” We know the Evil that the Demons Crup has done into the Country We the People know your Evil Plan and Agenda !! But we will Fight “! He will come for the Biggest Mouth !!!🤔🤥😤🤥🫢
You went ALL the way back to Nixon & skipped Clinton BOTH Bushes AND Saint Obama. Laughable..
I'm not QUITE there yet, but I am ALMOST getting tired of all this winning!
He said we would!
Apart from when he lost lol
@@Greedst If by "lost" you mean being cheated out of a fair election in 2020, then yeah. I'm talking about recent events. I realize it will be tough for him to "win" the 2024 election because he will have to be ahead by about 15% to overcome the cheating (and he's only ahead by 10% now) but I have faith in the American people to do the right thing. Are you still backing Alzheimer Joe?
No criminal acts are imcluded!
How can Congress correct this decision they're making law which is not an authority of the Judiciary
Way to spin it
Why cannot Biden add four democratic / liberal judges at this point in time , so they can take another vote so that we will not go down the road of 1930's Germany before it became a total totalitarian state
You make it sound so easy and elementary, duh! FJB DEMOCRAPS
But we're already experiencing authoritarianism right now with Joe Biden.
and then during the next republican term, we can add another 16 conservative judges.
@@robertforsberg976 oh its easy if your a commie roosevelt tried this good thing he failed
I don’t think he has that kind of power. If he would do such a thing, the next President could appoint four conservative justices. Seems it’s a good idea. Trump might get in and appoint four more and have a good four years then right before going out of office appoint a few more. He maybe could impeach the three liberals too, making it 9-0. I understand they can be impeached, according to AOC.
How questionable are the US Supreme Court? Nah, seriously..
They've been doing what they want for decades... this didn't change anything
I actually agree with Justice Sotamayor that a blanket immunity from criminal prosecution by a sitting President is dangerous.
You say that like the senate can't impeach him.
Only immun for presidential actions taken in accordance with what the constitution allows him to do.
Sotomayor is another Democrat whose decisions are for the benefit of the democrat/socialist party! TRUMP 2024, MAGA!!
President Trump is the Best President in Modern History, compare his 4 years of his presidency with Biden’s!! And scandals relate more to Bill Clinton, the Bidens and the Obamas!!
You people have zero common sense just consumed with TDS…….You are mischaracterizing the SCOTUS.Obama,Hillary,and free Willy Bill Clinton would be in trouble if they had no immunity I.e Obama droning a U.S. citizen.The constitution backs SCOTUS decision and fact is if it were not Trump it would be a non issue.Well SCOTUS👏👏👏
Ever notice the tight smiles of these conservative judges? That's because a person who is a decent human being is able to offer an open, sincere smile. Doesn't mean they don't make mistakes or have bad ideas or do the wrong things sometimes, but morally they are more consistently honest and therefore can offer a genuine, open smile. These conservative judges NEVER are able to pull that off. Body Language matters.
Grow up.
@@jg1772 I'm sorry that, as a child, your parents did not instill in you the basic moral values that my parents instilled in me. I learned about honesty, fairness, and not to cheat or lie as a child. Should I abandon those lessons as a "grown-up"? I don't think so. I will pray for you.
silly, but ok, much love from NYC
So does skull size. It reveals how intelligent a person is. 💀🤓😂. Oh, and one more… THE EARTH IS FLAT
...you mean like that creepy grin mr. biden gave a few weeks ago.
Obtains presidential immunity, I am innocent, I tell you..
Do these folks know we live in a Republic?? All of this Democracy, Democracy nonsense is baffling
...and they don't understand the bill-of-rights either.
It's a technical difference. Both forms of government are based on the will of the people.
This is legalizing criminal behavior.
So is capitalism. Race was invented to justify the crimes of colonialism and capitalism by changing the value of human life of those exterminated or enslaved .
Unfortunately, the need for greed has kept the American people removed from reality and our common humanity.
Maybe, we will get it next time in a few centuries, aftercare war is over and human populations have a chance to expand again
NO IT'S NOT...
like the kangaroo witch trials going on right now?
Obama, Biden, Shumer, Pelosi, Democrats and the woke media are screwed forever.
They essentially did the bare minimum and re-stated existing law surrounding politicians having immunity, and punted the decision back to the lower courts for them to decide where that line is. Nothing major has changed regarding the law, it would be kinda dumb if, for example, a cop could be imprisoned for trespassing if they had a search warrant. Don’t freak out, Trump’s not off the hook for anything as of yet, in that regard this doesn’t really change that much.
Unbelievable 😢. It's got to be taken down!!!! This is not an American virtue.
Let us hope he is. Squarely defeated and treated like any other indicted person. And goes to jail if 12 juries of his peers indict him as criminal.
No one in a Democracy is above the Law ..
NO ONE ..!!
And that includes Donald Trump ..!! 😡😡🔥🔥
We are not a democracy
You lie. Potato joe and Killery have been above the law so far.
And he's done what exactly?
And Joe Biden. And Hillary Clinton!
You forgot obama
This ruling was issued from a building inscribed with "Equal Justice Under Law." You can't make this stuff up!
Yes, Justice for both Parties right?
We need term limits for SCOTUS. In Agamben's State of Exception, he talks about how those who govern create exceptions for themselves. In other words, the world is separated into two groups: those who govern and those who are governed. The former are above the law and exist in a state of exception; meanwhile, the latter must obey the law or be punished by the state.
This explains why American independence from Great Britain was such a revolutionary democratic and republican progress.
Being a law biting President if that's the ruling of the Supreme Court, I would sign an executive order that Trump should be tried now. It's the law of the land.
For those who aren't following the story, "hush money" is not a legal term. Non Disclosure Agreements are legal in every state between adults. There is no felony crime in how payment to his attorney was made. Stop listening to these pundits
People acting like presidents aren't already immune and accepting bribes with impunity. Now it's just officially a slap in the face.
