#SCOTUS #Trump #immunity ruling poses risk for #democracy, experts say

Former #Nixon White House counsel #JohnDean said Monday that had the court’s ruling been in force in the early 1970s, #history could have turned out very differently.
“As I looked at it, I realized Richard Nixon would have had a pass” because the #evidence against him was based on #OfficialActs the #SupremeCourt has deemed #immune from prosecution.

@Nonilex They don't say... 🙃

(The only people who don't "see" it are the pretenders in black robes)

@Nonilex
Supreme Court: Look! The American version of the Enabling Act! Fascism, here we come!

Mainstream media: This might possibly lead to an end of democracy in the future. Maybe. Stay tuned to find out if you should worry about this.

@Nonilex According to the ruling, Nixon's acts couldn't even be introduced as evidence in any legal proceeding, if I read it correctly.

@Nonilex this makes me sick....nixon was a disturbed paranoid, trump is a million times worse. Biden now has ultimate weapon to do what his oath of office demands....
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Me thinks waiting for the legal system to save us is suicide....we are a nation in crisis, we all can see it.

@Nonilex I’ve read through this article multiple times now. With each read I become more convinced that the MAGA handlers are following the blueprint set out by the Nazi party to the letter. Simply substitute the “Dictator Article” for the emergency powers act and Jews with immigrants or LGBTQ and it may as well be a recap of the past decade and a checklist for the coming years.

@Nonilex In my opinion, Biden must immediately pardon and reinstate Specialist Charles Graner and PFC Lynndie England, the Abu Ghraib torturers since the military chain of command is outside the law.
