The Supreme Court has decided that Presidents are above the law by issuing their immunity decision that allows presidents to break laws in office and as long as it was an official act, he cannot be prosecuted for it. The ruling stems from a very Conservative Supreme Court, where there are 6 Republican elected justices and only 3 from the Democrats. The court also ruled that a woman no longer has control over her own body when it comes to reproductive rights, that the states can now decide the fate if a woman can have an abortion or not, even when the pregnancy was due to a rape.
Representative Joseph Moselle, who is a Democrat from the state of New York, introduced a constitutional amendment on July 24th, 2024 that will undue the high court’s decision that former presidents enjoy a presumption of criminal immunity for official acts.
No one, whether you are in high office, the highest office or a citizen of the United States, should have absolute immunity for actions that fall within the core responsibilities of their office and are “presumptively immune” for all other acts that are deemed official.
Only Donald Trump would have ever filed a suit regarding his federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C. because he is corrupt and is trying to save himself of crimes he committed in office. As a convicted felon, he will now try and have those convictions overturned, but in the State Case where he was convicted, that may prove more difficult. In a few months, Trump will face a judge that will sentence him on his crimes.
Since the Supreme Court made a ruling on a constitutional issue, their decisions are final and cannot be challenged unless a constitutional amendment is introduced that the high court will visit again.
This country runs with the idea that NO person is above the law, and that is to include presidents. This country never had a person such as Trump as our president.
The bottom line here, Moselle said “Presidents are not monarchy, they are not tyrants, and shall not be immune”.
