It was because I’m deeply concerned, as are all Americans who aren’t republicans, about the virtually blanket immunity the court has given Cadet Bone Spurs.
The ruling suggesting presidents have total immunity for “official acts” isn’t just a legal hiccup. It’s a full-blown constitutional crisis.
This doesn’t just put one person above the law. It creates a reality where a sitting president can commit crimes with impunity as long as they call it “official.” For those of you late to the party, that’s not how democracy works.
The Felon-In-Chief has wasted no time waving this “official acts” pass like an all-access backstage pass at a chaos concert. He’s used it to attack democratic institutions, downplay violence, threaten judges and make statements that sound less presidential and more like deleted Twitter drafts.
And now, he’s coming for the courts.
You know, that last branch of government still trying to keep the lights on in this constitutional storm. But the orange asshole has directed his puppet justice department to arrest judges that disagree and decide against his inhumane immigration policies.
If this immunity decision stands, what’s next? Will dissent be criminalized under “Operation Hurt Feelings”? Suddenly, it doesn’t feel far-fetched.
When the courts are under attack and presidential immunity becomes absolute, we’re not talking about “leadership” anymore. We’re talking about a fast-pass to authoritarianism. I want to say no one voted for that, but sadly millions of gullible, grievance-fueled people did.
Our Constitution was designed with checks and balances, not “get-out-of-jail-free” cards. The Founders weren’t perfect, but they knew a king when they saw one, and came up with this little document to make sure we wouldn’t get another.
So, and I say this with urgency and respect to Chief Justice Roberts and the Court: reverse this decision. Because the idea a president can silence critics, weaponize government, or worse — all while enjoying a legal force field — doesn’t just bend the rule of law. It breaks it. Shatters it. Sweeps it into a drawer labeled “For Future Autocrats Only.”
If we don’t course-correct now, we risk losing the very thing that makes America worth all this messy, passionate fighting: our democracy.
Justice is supposed to be blind, not asleep.
So to the Supreme Court: wake up, suit up, and fix this. We’re counting on you.
