#Trump #donaldtrump #immunity
The Supreme Court today is an absolute disgrace. Chief Justice Roberts, are you listening?
The John Roberts Supreme Court . The worse United States Supreme Court in history .
Why do we continue to think that John Roberts is willing to save us and Scotus itself? He's quite willing to buttress the "5's" corruption. He really doesn't care about any so called reputational damage to the Court. Life time appointments and an overarching arrogance too many of them seem to have will do that for you.
he will listen,,,,,,,when stripped of everything....your dupreme court is a mockery.....greetings from SCOTLAND
He doesn’t care.
@@carmelaguanciale6620- doesn’t have to. Unfortunately.
When I was growing up the idea of a corrupt Supreme Court was something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. How wrong I was!
I had the same thought...
I think a few of them are compromised. When Biden wins and if the US keeps the Democrats as the majority in the Senate, I suspect he'll add more justices.
You apparently don't know the meaning of the word corrupt. You are guilty of aiding and abetting a corrupt and criminal Democrat Party simply by giving them your vote. Judge Cannon's UNREDACTING of Jack's papers PROVE the CRIMINALITY of Biden, Wray, Garland, Smith, and a BOATLOAD of other Agency heads who have PRISON sentences to look forward to next year! HAHAHA! TRUMP2024!!
They should be indicted for undermining the justice system. A few need to be charged for accepting money and gifts from right wing maga millionaires.
was sorta of or better concealed, look at the mid 1800 Dread Scott case, and before that, when Chief Justice John Marshall absolved alt-right Arron Burr of obvious treason in 1812 ish period
When do checks and balances get applied to the Supreme Court ??? If no one is above the law, why isn't Thomas being investigated for bribery ???
It's an excellent, excellent question. I don't know of anything in the Constitution providing for oversight beyond a couple of Congressional committees that lack the authority to remove a rogue justce.
No enforceable code of ethics, Lifetime appointments, and no way to impeach them. They are untouchable.
Exactly! Who judges the judges?
shh you're not suppose to ask those questions...just be a good little obedient American and let them shaft you.
Making them unaccountable in hopes of avoiding politicization really isn't working out.
This court will go in history on the wrong side. It is shameful
It sure will!
They don't care.They are part of a secret society and financial enrichment and legacy wealth is their ultimate goal
uh...that happened with the reversal of Roe V Wade
Pure BS! We now have the best SCOTUS in my lifetime! They are the FIREWALL between a free America and a COMMUNIST Democrat Party! MAGATRUMP2024!!
There's really so many things this court could get recorded in history as on the wrong side of.
Any court with any sense would not have anybody immune from prosecution of crimes committed, even a president.
EXACTLY. We DO have a vice president. Of course the DOJ (the organization under the power of the president ) seems to think that a president cannot be indicted while in office-- sure looks a little bit self defining....
Adolf,,,,was immune,,musolini,,,sadam etc etc according to american SUPREME court.....greetings from Edinburgh,,,,america your system is a disgrace
Rip brokeback obama and his husband
they've set it up so they will never be held accountable for their own crimes. they're immoral, not stupid!
well, we’ll see and if they think 60% disapproval is bad….
It's so ridiculous that the Supreme Court is wasting its time on this.
Seems intentional , doesn't it ?
because they ARE ridiculous!
lance,,,dear oh dear......you think its a court? oh you innocent
The Supreme Court should be looking into the insider trading that is making politicians in congress rich.... nobody is above the law... lol
What about if the Supreme Court looked at the reason members of congress trade stocks with a better success rate than artificial intelligence and the best stock brokers in the world.
The fact that the supreme court is taking this on tells you how broken our system really is
Mitch McConnell prevented Barack Obama from appointing any Supreme Court judges. Sigh. Oh man, I miss Obama.
mcconnell forced several judges on scrotus. He's to blame for this mess. Now he gets to retire with a massive golden parachute. Makes me sick.
Trump put some of the Supreme Court judges in there!
The Swamp is definitely the GOP.
@@brendamackinnon1978that's what they said. Without mcturtle none of it would have been possible.
Six days later and he's pushing up daisies😅.
That WE pay for. Makes me sick.
The concept of Presidential "immunity" is beyond reason, beyond common sense, beyond history, beyond the law. The fact that the Supreme Court would even consider the issue is worrisome to anyone who values our democracy.
As a kid, we learned about the separation of powers, so that one was not stronger than the other. It's insane to me to think that such a basic concept that was taught in grade school is under question.
If a president doesn't have immunity, obama can be charged with murder in the assassination of two American citizens who had not been charged with any crime. One was only 16. Do you still want to do awaywith immunity?
GET TO THE COURTHOUSE AND FILE A REPORT!🤬@@davidrhinehart7764
Well the "Supremes" DO NOT value anything but their power-over the entire populace of the United States. What else have you got?
Absolutely! Choices have repercussions. Good and bad. It's called accountability. It's a human thing.
Term limits for SCOTUS. Starting with corrupt Alito and corrupt Thomas
This is where we are. Time to choose. Freedom or slavery. Democracy or dictatorship. Time to act. To vote.
We needed to show up and vote in 2016, but failed.
The 3 judge lower court's decision was correct by law. Most objective attorneys will tell you the decision for SCOTUS to agree to hear this case is purely political & ludicrous.
Not to mention extremely fascist and dangerous.
They'll make a ruling after the election. So sad.
We must find a way to get rid of this extremist court... they've done enough damage!!
It’s really republicans who have done the damage. They are responsible for the state of our Supreme Court, our do nothing Congress and the Orange Lie Monster.
Insurrection!
MAGASCOTUS: Support for Trump and Contempt for the American People. This Will NOT STAND!
Good luck. This is the ultimate consequence of presidential elections… When people claim their votes don’t matter…remind them of Clarence Thomas…Samuel Alito…Gorsuch…Cohen-Barrett…Roberts…
@@ridethecurve55oh but if it was the other way you would be happy 😂
Mr. Weissman is CORRECT. This court is a mess and we need major reform. Let’s start with term limits.
This is stunning !!!!!! What Andrew Weissman is stating in the latter half of this video is stunning beyond belief for its naked truth - staring Americans in the eye and yet . . .
They have already wasted an unimaginable amount of time by letting him get away with this question unanswered. How inept!
Inept - without skill or aptitude for a particular task or assignment. NOPE...the delay is ON PURPOSE to give trump a big step toward stealing the election in November and making sure his AG drops all these pesky coup and treason cases.
Corrupt is the word you are looking for.
that was THE POINT
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ya got no facts .... again - - - "Many fine people" During the 1993 Senate confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Chairman Biden of the Senate Judiciary Committee made a commented about the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), an organization committed to preserving Confederate statues with ties to the Ku Klux Klan. Biden began his remarks by referring to a speech made on the Senate floor by Sen. Howell Heflin (D-Ala.), who was speaking in support of efforts by Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.) to deny renewal of a Confederate flag design patent to the UDC. “I, too, heard that speech and, for the public listening to this, the senator made a very moving and eloquent speech. As a son of the Confederacy, acknowledging that it was time to change and yield to a position that Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun raised on the Senate floor, not granting a federal charter to an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag as a symbol.
Not inept. Corrupt..
Why obey a Supreme Court that has squandered all of their respect?
You have NO idea what you're saying. The Court is going by the Constitution and previous decisions which have been found to be lawful. Sounds like you're angry because it didn't go the way you and your cronies wanted!!!!!!
@@brucevandermeulen4170 are you saying when the Supreme Court, namely clearance Thomas and justice Alito have been bribed by billionaires, that’s in the constitution?
Because they are there for the power, and that’s all that matters to them.
They have no credibility anymore. They are ignoring the Constitution. And worse yet they are untouchable.
@@brucevandermeulen4170 I'm afraid it's you who have no idea what you're saying. The corruption of this Court is manifest.
Why is there no accountability for all the justices who lied about Roe v. Wade during their vetting? Had legislators known they’d do that, there is no way they would have approved the nomination. And Thomas still not recusing himself after his own wife was implicated. Horrible.
Exactly!!! I've been waiting for that subject to come up. Kavanaugh goes 1st.
One would assume that it is illegal to lie to Congress. However the impeachment process is the same as far as I know. The House would have to vote to impeach. Then 2/3rds of the of the Senate would have to vote for removal. However: Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Some of these Trumpian members of the Supreme Court have been bribed, but they haven't bribed anyone. If a public official accepts money to do, or not do, an official act, they can be charged with bribery - even if they don't follow through with what was asked, or if they would have done what was asked anyway. So there are are multiple members of the Supreme Court that could be impeached and stand trial in the Senate. Current House? No hope of the impeachment of a Trumpian member of the Supreme Court. 2/3rds of the Senate voting for their removal with the current Senate now infiltrated by more Trumpians and insurrectionists? Not going to happen. The corrupt defend the corrupt.
republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, would have still pushed them through
We have a right to have honest justices with integrity. We also have a right to dismiss corruption on our Supreme Court.
They never should have taken this case. The Appellate court gave them the perfect out!!
THey wanted it because THEY are crooked.
They'll rule that Presidents don't have absolute immunity, after the election. Sad.
@@nakedreefand because Clarance Thomas and his wife are trump’s buddies
To the Supreme Court from this American..."Shame on y'all - SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON ALL OF Y'ALL"!!
I'm standing with you.
Billionaire-owned Extreme Court
well shame on the republican justices (yes they are republican)
Man, Thank you, Andrew for explaining this whole debacle in such simple but eloquent terms.
Unfortunately there is no mechanism to hold the Supreme Court in contempt of the Constitution.
THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID
No...the "Supremes" know they have power-over the U.S. populace and enjoy having their boot on our neck.
You are. You say nobody is above the law while the legislative branch trades stocks of companies that their votes influence. That's illegal for you and me. But nobody is above the law?
You are for sure
You are!!!!
It’s ridiculous that there’s no way to hold the Supreme Court justices accountable for their rulings that go against the wishes of most Americans.
Unless they happen to be coconspirators in an attempt to overthrow democracy….. ask Thomas and his wife
oh but there is......if decent americans have the balls for it
Wish there was a way to appeal them!! Take it to congress?
I believe it's "impeachment", but that's case by case. Need to also think about sanctioning their confirmation hearings: - evade a direct question? Disqualified. Instantly. Do not pass "go". Do not get black robe! - change your stated position from what you said at the hearing (without first explaining "why" to your citizens?) Boom. Boot and replace. - abide by the exact same standards for all courts below with respect to "accepting no gifts" and "appropriately recuseing" (looking to you, Thomas) None of this political nonsense either. No witholding house/senate voting. Straight "up or down" vote (60%+ carries). No secret voting. Names required.
Checks and balances were not meant to he run like Twitter polls buddy
Justice Clarence Thomas should be removed from this panel..for all he and his witch of a wife..have done...NOT FAIR he is still there😮 Great work Nicole🏆
😡I mean it's unbelievable that she participated in the insurrection, and not a GD thing has happened to her!!! And I wonder Why My Blood Pressure is high now??! 🤬
HOW can we possibly ever trust the Supremes to have America's back after this?! Term limits should be placed on Scotus, asap.
NO one will ever have trust in them again. I NEVER will until they are IMPEACHED & REMOVED. I want more of them investigated thoroughly.
Billionaire-owned Extreme Court
That bunch should be dissolved - roberts, Kavanagh, barrett, Thomas, alito, gorsuch - get rid of them, they are absolutely wrong! They're playing politics and that is NOT their job!

I like how fascist you sound!
@@swimminginthoughtsNice projection you have there.
So as long as they rule in your favor, it's cool. Right?
They will not rule in his favor. They will just take forever to rule
I'm calling dibs on Clarence "The Oreo" Thomas... I have a few good ideas for him.
It's beyond insulting that they even dignified this ridiculousness in the first place.
There are only a couple of supreme court justices that are trustworthy! But this bunch, OMG! there should be NO MORE lifetime appointments to the bench. There must be transparency and accountability for a deliberative body task with the application of law at the highest level. The fact that they are even hearing such NONSENSE speaks volumes!
The US Supreme Court is a DISGRACE. How SHAMEFUL they are.
I hope all the liberals that didn't vote for Hillary are happy.

Calling the members of the Supreme Court, human beings, is taking things a little too far; this case should NOT be heard and they know it.
Should we ever allow any President to commit any crimes, ever? Why would that ever be Ok? The President is tasked with executing and upholding the rule of law. Giving that person the right to defy the law-any law-would be “breaking” the law in its most literal sense.
The Supremely Disappointing Court continues to do just that - disappoint.
Remove life tenure from the courts asap ..they are not above the law either...nor are they infallible..or incorruptible ...ask thomas
Bingo!
I have no faith in this Supreme Court. I pray they do the right thing.
They will not.
prayers don't work. all we can do is vote vote vote and get involved in politically. every election up and down the ballot counts

Tlaib did a selfie with a Hezbollah-praising activist to also denied Israel's right to exist. New York Magazine named her one of 10 activists who may become the future of the Democratic Party as the "new Obama." Tlaib was sworn in surrounded by a group that included Sarsour and Nihad Awad as her special guests. Rep. Ilhan Omar is known for her anti-Semitism, insensitivity and mocking remarks about Christians,[301] and homophobic comments directed against colleagues. Omar tweeted "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." Omar supports BDS. Omar claims congressional support for Israel is "All about the Benjamins baby," a reference to the Ben Franklin $100 bill, implying members of Congress are paid off by AIPAC. Despite this, Democrats gave her a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, defended Tlaib and Omar as "thoughtful colleagues." Tlaib is a member of a Facebook group that posts anti-Semitic videos and memes. The Daily Caller reported that a key fundraiser for Tlaib posted a Holocaust denial video.

For the Supreme Court, especially THIS Supreme Court, Lord Acton’s dictum applies: “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. There is no check on the power of these people.
Clarence Thomas : “What ? Hold the president accountable !? What’s next !! Hold the Supreme Court justices accountable too !? Outrageous ! “
Such a waste of time. We all know their answer. They'll say it's up to congress
Makes me sick that they are hearing this at all. We already heard it fully examined and demolished by the DC Appeals court, they have absolutely nothing they can possibly add but politics and obtuse questions. WTAF do they think they're doing. The arrogance is disgusting.
They will be known as MFs all through history now. A Dark Stain in the government.
I thank it’s time to revisit the way that the supreme court judges are set above the law that they are suppose to be enforcing and how the people they are representing can remove them from office if they don’t comply with the law.
There is too many things about taking this case.... now.... is beyond me. This Supreme Court gonna go down as just as much the clown car are the GOP/RNC
SCROTUS has already disgraced itself by neutering the 14th Amendment and overturning Roe, and they should have never even taken up this case, which makes me very sceptical that they will do the right thing.
Absolutely!!! And I'm flummoxed by the lack of any protest among the legal profession, beyond punditry. They aren't grasping the serious danger happening by the hour, and the window of opportunity for effective action is already closing!
You picked the right word to describe them.
THIS SUPREME COURT SHOULD BE DISMANTLED.
That's a bit extreme.
Agreed There has to be a balanced bench, not a bag of right winger nut bags.
This SC should be added to - 13 judges, one for each district. Maybe a project for Biden's second term?
Remove every one of them and have reappointed judges. Must be split evenly with 1 non partisan judge to stop stalemate decisions!
It will, essentially, be if Trump wins Prez.

As long as the power favors their political preference I don't think they would even care . That's what the John Roberts Supreme Court is .
Actually the "Supremes" ARE above the law. Thomas has obviously done some unethical things but there are ZERO consequences. So yes, the "Supremes" have the greatest power over the populace--way more consequences to our daily lives than the President.

Same thoughts from the UK. 😕😞
The trial judge ruled months ago, that a president was not immune from justice for his criminal actions! The court of appeals ruled twice, that a president was not immune from justice for his criminal actions! The Special Counsel, in an attempt to avoid unnecessary delays asked the Supreme Court, at the time when the court of appeals was considering this matter a second time, to consider the facts, but they declined! The Supreme Court then delayed accepting the matter, and also hearing arguments! Considering the financial considerations AT LEAST four members of the Supreme Court have, in my opinion, received because of their status, (and I have posted those considerations previously), the aim of The Court seems to be to assist the defendant as much as they are able!
Impeach them, no stalling
What would it take to demand a vote of no confidence in the supreme court?????
The fact that other members of the Stupid Court are okay with being in the same room with Thomas, tells you everything you need to know. Polluted.
The problem with the Supreme Court can only be fixed by electing Democrats to the Presidency and the Senate for the next several years, maybe over the period of a decade, until the 6-3 majority becomes at least a 4-5 minority. They leave us no option but to do this.

Yes... or trump.
And members of congress too so there can’t be enough votes to impeach and therefore the current president can’t be prosecuted criminally…ever! That’s based on trumps absolute immunity argument. Why is the Supreme Court entertaining this argument! This Supreme Court is so corrupt.

I totally agree with Liz Chaney, the American people have a right to know if Trump committed crimes and be completed before the election. The scotus should not hold up these trials.
The billionaire-owned Extreme Court is holding things up because they're going to rule in his favor.

Liz is so right, I just hope SCOTUS does the right thing but I don't have high hopes from the high court.
Is that why she lost by a MILE😂
I agree with what President Carter said. If looked at in detail we would see trump did not win. I feel hes right.
really? thats your conclusion? your a genius.
