Here are two reactions to the recent 6-3 Supreme Court decision crippling Congressional and DOJ oversight of a criminal president and affirming a (far right) president’s prerogative to engage in criminal conspiracy without consequence if he asserts that the crime was part of his “bold and decisive” core official duties as MAGA president (and the crime in question advances the interests of the men who chose the radical, corporatist 6-3 Supreme Court majority).
The first take is from an organization run by Leonard Leo, far right Christian activist in charge of a recently donated $1.6 billion dollar political activism war chest — and engineer of the current Supreme Court and hundreds of Federalist Society diehard federal judges at all levels. Judicial Watch spent millions on advertising to tank the Merrick Garland Supreme Court nomination and promote their three picks for Supreme Court justices.

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the ruling by the United Stated Supreme Court regarding immunity for official acts by former President Donald Trump:
Today’s commonsense Supreme Court immunity ruling is a victory for former President Trump, the U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law. The Biden administration’s political decision to try to put Trump in jail for simply being president was unsurprisingly rejected by the Supreme Court.
Make no mistake, the Supreme Court is imposing a virtually insurmountable burden on Jack Smith in his vicious pursuit of Trump over the election and document disputes. The unprecedented charges against Trump were frivolous to begin with and, after today’s decision, should be shut down completely by the Justice Department.
Judicial Watch is in the forefront of the court battles for transparency regarding the Biden administration’s targeting of Trump.
Another view, from American Oversight, expressed with impressive restraint:
STATEMENT FROM AMERICAN OVERSIGHT INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHIOMA CHUKWU:
“Today is a dark day for American democracy. The Supreme Court’s ruling came after months of delay, revealing the greatest beneficiary of our two-tiered system of justice: Donald J. Trump. By sending this case back to the lower courts for further proceedings just months before the election, making it unlikely that he will face trial by November, the Court has effectively rewarded the former president with de facto immunity for his role in attempting to subvert the results of the 2020 election.
“Our democracy depends on an informed electorate. Today’s decision deprives the public of critical information by preventing this case from immediately proceeding to trial, instead requiring the lower court to first determine which of Trump’s egregious actions fall within the parameters set forth by the Supreme Court. Voters deserve to have the benefit of a jury verdict before choosing their next president in November — the Court’s ruling likely made that impossible.”
In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court’s ruling states that a president is entitled to immunity for official acts, but not for unofficial acts. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made clear that even the Supreme Court agrees on a core principle — that no one is above the law:
“The president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”
Who are you going to believe, 100% certain, true-believing smash mouth political practitioners with 100% message discipline or those deluded souls who deliberate, weigh nuances, discuss, hesitate and disagree on various policy matters?
Related question: since Trump is right that Biden is sleepy and senile, why not remove him from the ballot immediately, trembling libtard cucks?
