With the horrendous Supreme Court decision yesterday on trump\u2019s immunity from prosecution, it becomes even more imperative that the Democrats win the next election.<\/p>\n
In the words of Justice Sotomayor, \u201cthe president is now a king above the law.\u201d As she outlined in her dissent, hypothetical situations where the concept of immunity could apply include: ordering the Navy Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival, organizing a military coup to hold onto power, and taking a bribe in exchange for a pardon. All these sorts of acts would be immune because they have their basis in the president\u2019s official, core duties.<\/p>\n
If trump regains the presidency, you can bet your bottom dollar he will explore all those different alternatives. And much<\/em> more. I\u2019m sure he sees the Supreme Court decision as an absolute green light for his most fanciful, royal ambitions.<\/p>\n The trump campaign has a much-publicized plan to purge all \u201cdeep state\u201d civil servants replacing them with an all-MAGA workforce. So when implementing new policies, questions of constitutionality will likely never arise. I\u2019m also sure that trump will also place loyal MAGA henchmen into key military positions. They learned from the mistakes they made in the first term. They won\u2019t make those mistakes again. There won\u2019t be any bureaucratic push back on anything they attempt. Making it worse, he knows where the levers of power are.<\/p>\n Truly, there won\u2019t be any <\/em>checks and balances on a second trump administration. There won\u2019t be any adults into the room to tell them, \u201cno you can\u2019t do that because it\u2019s illegal\/unconstitutional.\u201d Those are words trump will never ever hear in a second term. At least from any of his own people (and that includes the Supreme Court).<\/p>\n
