House Republicans may be moving full steam ahead with their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, but a GOP senator cautioned that the president might not be impeachable.
The best part is their Orange Leader is trying to get Courts (at the Supreme Court now) to rule that the President has some kind of ultimate immunity. This would of course put Presidents above the law and out of reach of even the Supreme Court. It would also of course make it so Biden could do whatever he wanted (not that he actually would) - negating their whole farce.
Its so stupid too, because that’s literally against the written word of the constitution. The damned thing literally says that the president is still liable under the rule of law even after being impeached and removed from office. These chucklefucks don’t give a single wet shit about the constitution, they’re just hoping their base is stupid enough to go along with the subversion.
Exactly. Say the President has absolute immunity to do anything he wants. Joe Biden could then declare Trump Public Enemy #1 and have him imprisoned pending trial. Then all MAGA Republicans could be called Public Enemies 2 through however many and have them imprisoned. And doing this would be perfectly legal because the President is immune.
Of course, the President isn’t immune, Biden wouldn’t do this, and he’d be wrong if he did. Still, if we accept Trump’s assertion that the President can do anything he wants and it’s always legal, then they are opening the door for Biden to take any action he wants with no repercussions.
But since they put having power above party/country/the law, the chance they would put an aspiring dictator into power that wants to take the Supreme Courts power away, seems slim to nil.

I wouldn’t put it past the Republican judges to rule that only Trump specifically has immunity.

Hmm, good point.
