SCOTUS RULING MEANS JOE MUST LEAVE NOW...
If Donald J. Trump EVER is to be held accountable for his treasonous actions fomenting the fatal January 6th rebellion to overturn the 2020 presidential election, he must NOT win a second term as president in November.
This became ever more apparent today after a divided Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Presidents (in this case involving only Trump) enjoy immunity from acts they took while in office.
John Marshall, Richmonder and famed fourth Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is buried in Shockoe Hill Cemetery.
Such a ruling, flying in the face of lower court rulings and showing the heavy influence of the court’s Trump-appointed cheering section, means that any action against Trump may be delayed until well after November, pending new lower court findings. A Trump win, therefore, will allow the worst president in our history to simply order his new Justice Department to stand down—and thereby set him free of all federal charges.
As Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent today, the Supreme Court ruling “gives former President Trump all the immunity he asked for and more.”
All the more reason for a diminished—and I believe, unelectable--Joe Biden to save our democracy by standing aside and releasing his delegates to allow more vigorous Democratic leadership to take the case to Trump.
