That’s not what happened.\n\nIn fact, a whole lot of people are pissed off that that’s not what happened.\n\nThe Supreme Court didn’t judge Trump. That’s not its role in the system. That’s for lower courts. Instead, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that applies to everybody, with a general rule that really applies to officers in general.\n\nThe Supreme Court said that the the executive branch may not prosecute anybody for carrying out their legal duties as per law. No matter the mess that might exist out there, the president cannot, effectively, harass people for doing what is legal.\n\nThat’s the long and short of it.\n\nIt was basically saying that no matter what mess the criminal statutes may be, the president may not harass people for doing legal things.\n\nI remember hearing all of the criticisms of the court after oral argument when people were pulling their hair out that justices weren’t laser focused on getting Trump. But they weren’t because that’s not their job.\n\nSo you say you don’t know why it would crumble only for the president, and that’s not the case, it doesn’t, the Supreme Court laid out a general rule regardless of the people complaining that it was looking to lay out a general rule.\n\nAnd regardless of the dissenters who often seem completely oblivious of what the Supreme Court is supposed to do in the first place.\n\nnostr:npub19gvf2pju7j66w8t34gvhhyr0du708llt9u9ns0605xy8vhs2a22qlcx4p4 nostr:npub14ptdyg9f922ynttxrqywxd9lkh3rp6wsf8pp2u4m3gglfly4rsmss5t548 nostr:npub1ax9mddmv6yhyd69mfj00hgpv2yeum6veqnh32pe99l0tdwennhvsk28tmg nostr:npub163l2w7exfh3h8l2qa5pw8fyj73wlt7fdxs2677xt40ph9q6prtxsuqqkgx"}
