Mark Levin states the obvious:
CIGAR SKUNK 2 makes a great point below. Wow. They want the narrative to be about Trump – don’t let it!
- “This new official-acts immunity now ‘lies about like a loaded weapon’ for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.
- When the president “uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution,” she continued. “Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune.”
OK, so why is she upset as Biden is president right now which means that he can send Seal Team 6 to assassinate President Trump and be immune?
No, this is just Sotomayor and Jackson once again demonstrating that they got their law degrees thanks to racial quotas and are your typical incompetent DEI hires.
Why?
Simple — assassinating political rivals falls under “unofficial” since the POTUS is not officially permitted to assassinate his political rivals.
Interesting though that the first thing which came to the heads of the liberal justices was using presidential immunity to assassinate political rivals — shows us what they’ve been thinking about.
To bolster the idea above, let me note that most political violence comes from the Left, as well as political assassinations:
…. Even I initially thought that whoever did it was either a Republican or some backwoods, tinfoil-hat-wearing pseudo-Libertarian. Now that it’s come out he is a Democrat/Independent, it’s no surprise; virtually every assassin or would-be assassin of American presidents, both Republican and Democrat, have been leftists (to the extent that their political views are known).
Successful assassins (whose politics we know):
- John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, shot and killed President Lincoln
- Charles Guiteau, a member of the communist Oneida Community, shot and killed President Garfield
- Leon Czolgosz, a leftist anarchist (similar to the useful idiots in the Occupy movement) shot and killed President McKinley
- Lee Harvey Oswald, a communist, shot and killed President Kennedy.
Failed assassins (whose politics we know):
- Severino Di Giovanni, a leftist anarchist, tried to bomb President-elect Hoover’s train
- Giuseppe Zangara, a professed anti-capitalist, tried shooting President-elect Franklin Roosevelt
- Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, two Marxists, tried killing President Truman at the Blair House
- Samuel Byck, who tried joining the leftist Black Panther group, attempted to kill President Nixon
- Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, member of the Manson Family and also a hippie environmentalist, shot at President Ford
- Sara Jane Moore tried to kill President Ford as well because, as she said, “the government had declared war on the Left.”
- Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, a leftist connected to the Occupy movement, tried getting a one-in-a-billion shot at President Obama by firing a gun at the White House
The only individual whose political motivations can be deduced as coming from the right side of the political spectrum is Francisco Martin Duran, who claims he was “incited” by conservative talk-show host Chuck Baker, but also claimed that he was trying to save the world from an alien mist which was connected by an umbilical cord to another alien in the Colorado mountains. So there’s that. ….
SEE MY:
This is just crazy stuff. See the fuller video at NEWSBUSTERS. I think this is how low they think of Republicans, and are merely projecting… as well as their animosity for the Military. What a horrible statement.
