    The Supreme Court will rule that by becoming a us president, a person gains absolution for all their crimes, and cannot be charged with any crimes while in office.

    So, taking over the government by force and killing people who disagree with you is actually not a crime at the moment. Hurry up Joe!!!

      This is just Doom posting. The opinion was terrible and a major threat to democracy, but Robert specifically calls out a candidate running for presidency as an example of a “private act.”

        Yeah I think the ruling was garbage too but I’m getting tired of the overly dramatic hot takes on this everywhere. Nuance is dead.
