What does the US Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling mean? | Inside Story

    According to rational law , a head of state if committed any crime , he / she should be punish by double sentence from normal punishment , because a head of state supposed to be a model of law . If apposite he should be punished as model of punishment as a deterrence for common people .

    It used to be better? A little? In the 1990s, we always had that swing justice either way that usually erred on the side of history -- we had a good court. But the Citizens United ruling in 2010 started the snowball into corporate capture of our government. Sad.....

    "No it has not changed" The Supreme Court said Trump would likely be entitled to immunity, but not if his actions were not found to be "Official Acts." Now, the Supreme Court must Define what "Official Acts" Means.

    I notice you keep on cutting off what trump said after the "lets go to the capitol" Joe is going to need that immunity when the question of supplieing weapons to a nation commiting ethnic cleansing. ( not looking for hostages ... that part is ok )

    It is highly unlikely that the same "Judges" will give the same verdict if Joe does something similar. This is a corrupt system run by corrupt people.

    So how does it work if he orders staff to do unlawful acts? Do they get immunity, or will it just keep going the way it has been where many people working for him paying the consequences even going to jail but he never does? No sympathy for those who do either, but allegedly he did try to order staff to do ridiculously illegal things in his first term.

    Great episode, each response was well thought. I'm still in shock that SCOTUS would remove the balance of power and give the POTUS blanket authority. July 4th means nothing. 😢

    The ruling is a ticket to be a criminal without consequences for the rich. Only common poor Americans have to obey the law because they have no money to fight and power to object.

    Understand, i barely made it out of high school. But I can read. Ihave been making this post for a while now. You are the first to reply. Now help me out. The 25th amendment has nothing to do with the ELECTING of the president, does it? My understanding of the 25th tells us what to do once a president/vice president has been elected and then compromised in some way, and how to REPLACE him. Please help me to understand my interpretation of it. Please and thank you.
