In times past the US Supreme Court was seen as the ultimate seat of judicial wisdom in the America. But that time has passed as the court now “enjoys” a 26% approval rating. The most far-reaching issue before the court now is the presidential immunity issue. Legal scholars all agree this should be a “no-brainer”. In a nutshell, the US Constitution contains a specific list of presidential powers. The Founding Fathers wanted to avoid the monarch syndrome they fled from in England. They didn’t intend to set up a king whose rule was absolute. So why is the highest court of the land–whose job is to interpret the Constitution–even considering the question of total immunity? Could it be that the 3 Trump-appointed justices who perjured themselves under oath when vetted by the US Congress have politicized the issue? Is there a tendency to bequeath total immunity just because, as a SCOTUS justice, you have total immunity? We know that the true impact of allowing this issue to be on the court’s docket is to allow for the probability that Trump cannot be brought to trial prior to the election. And therein lies the rub. What we have here is a direct violation of the “no man is above the law” principle by putting one man above the law. Is it any wonder that SCOTUS is under siege? We suggest that–if total immunity is the court’s decision–President Biden deport Donald Trump as an undesirable, confiscate all of his possessions and distribute their value to the states. Obviously this would be an outrageous act but no more outrageous than Trump shooting someone on Fifth avenue in New York City and getting away with it–a direct Trump quote. See how ridiculous total immunity is in the hands of ANYONE!!!
