Angry liberals who refuse to accept the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity are now out for blood, throwing around terms like “murder” and “assassination” as they desperately try to portray former President Donald Trump and his supporters as dangerous.
Political debate has shifted from largely harmless banter at dinner parties to outright attacks and doxing across social media in recent years. Even the mainstream media is no longer trying to pretend it is impartial, but BBC presenter David Aaronovitch has taken this to a whole new level by calling for Trump to be killed.
He wrote on X: “If I was Biden I’d hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America’s security,” sparking immediate backlash and reminders that these types of comments are often taken seriously by authorities.
He has since taken the post down and insisted that his comment was “satire,” writing: “There’s now a far right pile on suggesting that my tweet about the Supreme court’s ruling on presidential immunity is an incitement to violence when it’s plainly a satire. So I’m deleting it.”
Needless to say, the ruling does not give presidents the power to kill their political rivals and get away with it.
As Chief Justice John Roberts explained very clearly in the ruling, “The president… may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.”
Assassinating American citizens and overthrowing branches of the government are not covered by the ruling, and it specifies that Congress still has the power to remove presidential immunity via the constitutional impeachment process.
Liberals are trying to scare Americans into voting for Biden
That didn’t stop liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor from making the ruling sound as dangerous as possible in her exaggerated dissent, listing some hypothetical situations that she wants people to think immunity would apply to: "Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune," she wrote.
"Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law," she added.
It almost sounds like she didn’t even read the ruling, especially the part where it says in plain English that “The president is not above the law.” Apparently desperate liberals have decided they can’t let the truth get in the way of trying to scare people into voting for Biden despite his unfortunate struggles with dementia and inability to form and express coherent thoughts.
Chief Justice John Roberts noted that “Like everyone else, the president is subject to prosecution in his unofficial capacity,” but Biden’s camp is acting like anyone who has ever been president now has carte blanche to get away with whatever they want. The ruling did not give “Trump keys to a dictatorship,” as Biden’s campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, claimed in a call with reporters, nor did it dismiss the criminal case against Trump related to January 6.
It is now up to the lower courts to decide if his actions are considered official; nothing has been decided yet in that regard, but they are clearly scared it could go in favor of Trump – and the fact that his trial will now be held after the elections is yet another blow to Biden’s chances at a time when the world is talking about his obvious incompetency and 45 percent of Democrats want him to step aside.
