  • I have to read the full text again, and IANAL, but the ruling was former presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts particularly by their core constitutional powers. It did not rule on unofficial acts.

    To me, that means every official act can be weighed against it being in his authority to actually do those things. If he doesn’t have that constitutional power, then he doesn’t get official act immunity.

    What the judge did is power granted to the judicial branch by the constitution. That, again to me, says that there is an immunity clause.

    But that all is based on the premise that law matters, and it doesn’t given that we’ve already abandoned due process.
















  • I gotta say man, I really don’t like you. You’ve been antagonistic this entire conversation, and now you’re pointing the finger at me for, well, what, exactly?

    I enjoy airshows. I enjoy the absolute absurdness of military hardware. I look for joy in things that are absolutely dreadful. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re all plenty aware of how shit things are. If we all just agreed there was nothing worth fighting the fascists for, then why would this post even exist?

    But now, you’ve distracted me from my original point. Flight hours are flight hours. Experience is experience. That has value. This military parade doesn’t.
