“Today’s decision to grant former presidents criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the presidency. It makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of government, that no man is above the law.”

This ruling is frightening.

thinks
it's a seriously corrupt court in the USA at the moment.
oh my GOD
fucking shit.
oh wait it doesn't count for acts committed privately. that's something.
Gidge: That, but there's so much wiggle room that no one really knows exactly what it will cover yet. It's ridiculous, and I'm trying not to freak out over this plus the other recent decisions.
The ruling allowing basically anyone to challenge any federal rule no matter how old, so that conservatives can override everything the government has implemented to protect citizens, is on par with this one as being a complete disaster for the country.
I have been on the edge of freaking out since the end of last week. Just the thought of everything that's been undone with this court, and how long and how many fights it'll take to fix it ... I'm at a loss.
Honestly
I just can’t even think about it, it’s such a cluster

I'm just sitting in the corner having an existential crisis.
the Supreme Court is a stacked mockery of justice. It is no longer an institute of justice, but of power and corruption and it's sickening.
Sotomayor is right on.
it's unbelievable and sorry to say , very corrupt
The "lawmakers" just need to make a list now what's "private" and what's not and make it a fucking law.
I mean, most of the shit SCOTUS is overturning or ruling against is all the stuff no one ever cared to make it a law. JUST DO IT now.
