SCOTUS should never have heard this case. They should have kicked it back down. This is despicable that this asshole committed crimes and now he is making it sound like those crimes were part of his official capacity as president. all of this is a big slap in the face to our constitution, with regards to election integrity and election interference, as well as the transfer of power. I am still gobsmacked that this asshole has had every rule and every law bent in his favor. I am so pissed that I am spitting nails. He belongs behind bars and he needs to held accountable because crimes every single day and he shows total defiance.

So weird that some justices are more concerned about a hypothetical future than the case right in front of them. It is the day-to-day job of the courts to separate justified cases from the frivolous ones. Do these justices really think our justice system incapable of doing that?

And how arrogant for Alito to claim that they were "deciding a case for the ages." They have already shown themselves willing to overturn a variety of precedents. What makes them think their opinions will stand the test of time?

Also, the core argument of Trump and his defenders is that being President REQUIRES one to break the law. How ridiculous and outrageous. Presidents take an oath to UPHOLD the law. It is the job of the executive branch to ENFORCE the law. How strange that some Supreme Court justices seem not to understand these fundamental principles, and feign concern over protecting future presidents; implicitly acceding to the notion (required only by Trump) that presidents have to break the law to do the job. Sickening.
