He cannot. The Republicans have House majority.

The Constitution does not stipulate the number of Supreme Court Justices; the number is set instead by Congress. There have been as few as six, but since 1869 there have been nine Justices, including one Chief Justice.

That’s true. Had Obama appointed a Justice we’d just have 5-4 rulings instead of the 6-3 we have now. Trump’s immunity would still have passed.

Agreed. The entire House is up for election in November, along with 33 Senate seats.

My biggest concern is the down ballot effects of sizable Democratic abstentions. If Trump wins, he’ll likely have a Republican Congress supporting him.

Exactly. The consequence of not voting for that senile old man is accepting an authoritarian criminal into the White House.

I agree. It’s maddening. The way I challenge it is by citing sources to debunk the misinformation. Most people just block them, leading to unchecked misinformation for more passive users to read as facts.

Most polls put her on par with Biden. Dataforprogress.org has her leading when “fitness” and “strength” are brought into question, but that’s the only poll I’ve seen where she has any lead at all.

You’re absolutely correct. This is the part that has been left out of every news article I’ve read, and is undoubtedly the most concerning:

And some Presidential conduct-for example, speaking to and on behalf of the American people, see Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U. S. 667, 701 (2018) - certainly can qualify as official even when not obviously connected to a particular constitutional or statutory provision. For those reasons, the immunity we have recognized extends to the “outer perimeter” of the President’s official responsibilities, covering actions so long as they are “not manifestly or palpably beyond [his] authority.”

So it’s not just acts committed by the President, but also ordered by the President.

It’s also vague enough that charges can get bounced around lower courts indefinitely.

Thank you again for the link. I didn’t see it when I first searched.

That’s probably true for the candidate that’s half a billion dollars in debt to NY, has “allegedly” sold government secrets to foreign entities, used his hotel to siphon millions from taxpayers by mandating it for governmental use, and hopes to become President to pardon himself from several crimes awaiting trial.

Biden’s sizable funds are campaign contributions. There are rules on how those are spent after the campaign ends.

Presidential candidates raise millions of dollars from donors and through political action committees during campaigns.

There are rules in place for how money can be used after a campaign ends. Permissible uses include charitable donations and donations to other candidates while personal use is prohibited.

Campaigns may refund money to donors or redistribute it with their permission if they drop out.

Super PACs may use leftover campaign cash to support the same candidate in other elections.

You’re right. This won’t convince a Trump voter to vote for Biden. They dismiss anything from “liberal news” which is every outlet besides the far-right. It’s been my experience that talking to a Trump supporter is kicking water uphill.

I wrote that to do what Biden’s campaign is failing to do, speak to all of his accomplishments next to Trump’s “accomplishments,” in hopes of informing the discouraged, disengaged, and disenfranchised.

He cannot. There are no vacancies.

There is no duration limit to the immunity ruling. If she deems the ownership of documents an official act, she could rule that immunity covers all acts related to the documents until their return.

They’ll still be “presidents.” Putin is an “elected president.”

You’re half right. He won due to the Electoral College, but it was unfortunately legitimate.

In 2016 I voted for Bernie in the primary, and Hillary in the election.

Using my civic duty to compromise for the lesser of two evils does not make me a fascist.

Name calling is unproductive and childish. Have a conversation or find someone else to use as your stepladder to superiority.
