Maybe treating the court like a church for the past 200+ years wasn't a good idea if they can decide our laws and amendments do not mean what our laws and amendments are written as; Who'da thunk it? So long as the Supreme Court gets treated on a faith-based mentality, we have no set Constitution, and we have no set Laws. The Constitution does not grant them the last say on anything that Congress or the people are not in agreement with, and it's for a damn good reason.
It was working well enough. Don't think the founders envisioned that all 3 of the branches would be corrupted or that there would be a cult leader fascist that would appoint Supreme Court judges. They created a solid system, but they never thought so many would be so corrupt and do whatever it took to break our system.
@@gracieb.3054 They created an obsolete system that constantly gridlocks itself at the slightest hiccup. That's no way to have a "living breathing document" evolve with time when excess time not reflective of each generation running out for people in government is seemingly the only way to get any change, and not through democracy. Either way, Supreme Court doesn't have the supreme powers it claims it does; Congress and the rest of government just keeps letting them get away with it as IF they did.
@@gracieb.3054 Not really, it's an outdated and obsolete mess that is prone to gridlock at the slightest hiccups.

Honestly the liberals who say shit like "Well, I don't like what the court is doing, but we can't abolish it because it's in the Constitution" are completely missing the point. The world has changed so drastically since the days when the Constitution was written (and is a flawed document written by flawed humans), and as such sticking to it and not updating it to accommodate a world that has gone beyond the days of slavery and muskets is batshit insane. We need to run the country based on fairness, not on a fundamentalist reading of a flawed document.
@@dalekrenegade2596 Not even close. Even the most stupid justice puts little Thommy to shame. He couldnt make it as far in the legal world as they have.
I think it’s fair to ask at this point if democrats are intentionally trying to lose? If I was designing a losing campaign, I think I’d end up down the same path the democrats took.
I think denial, incompetence, and an inability to be as ruthless as the fascist's is where a great deal of fault for the current situation lies. Btw, I love Bob's Burgers. Nice pic there!
Given that the same donors who fund the Dems also fund the Republicans, and the Republicans are less likely to make them pay fair taxes and treat their workers with basic human dignity, this is genuinely possible.
The conservative side of SCOTUS has just made it possible for ANY US president to execute an Official Act of abolishing their own court all together at any given time.
Abolish the supreme Court. Make a new court with more rules more regulations and exceptions to what they can or can't do. Apparently we need a bill of laws that applies to the supreme Court along with term limits.
Stating this effectively makes him a king ignores checks and balances in place. Also, packing or restricting SCOTUS would require the presidency and congress to go forward....not likely.
I’m sorry but where does this idea of immunity come from for a President? It makes no sense.A President is a citizen just as I am a citizen. Why do they deserve that right?
the original immunity is sovereign immunity, the king can do what he wants, whenever he wants. when monarchies implemented parliaments that's when we got parliamentary immunity, to prevent said king from using the law as a weapon against them. today it's mostly a protection from malicious litigation, so that the time governments could spend on policy etc doesn't get taken up by lawsuits. there's also the aspect that while laws are good, there purpose of them is a stable society, sometime a government might have to break those to safeguard the country, like by assasinating Osama or others. That's when governments to something illegal, for which they probably should have some protection. Like how do you engage in spying and things of that nature if you can just be sued or arrested. There's further the idea in the us that you can't overrule the will of the people, who elected someone, through courts and instead have to rely on something that is also an expression of the will of the people, namely congress.
I think president should have immunity until he leaves the office. Once he's out, he should be prosecuted for whatever crime he did during his presidency.
@@TimSpangler-rd6vs roe v Wade, making the president a king, accepting corrupt money from millionaires to put in laws that harm people. They continue to go against the people on major issues
LegalEagle Devon Stone did a video about the legal implications of the immunity ruling and it’s worse than I ever thought it could be. While the president is technically not immune to everything, he is effectively virtually immune to everything because of the way all of the parts interact. It’s frightening.
They should never have gotten rid of the filibuster for federal district and appellate judge appointments. It is the reason we are in the situation we are in now.
@@donreinke5863 you want a dictator until he stops doing what you want. You're the same as all those people who let it happen in their countries like Cuba.
One thing I think y'all need to consider is that the court will not evenly apply what counts as an official act to every president. I find it very likely that something deemed a crime and unofficial act by a democrat, would be ruled an official act by a Republican. I don't think this court would allow the rules its creating to be used fairly by each side. I think that's a big reason why most conversative aren't worried about Democrats abusing the rules they are creating.
@BigMackWitSauce What you have said is true concerning the SC conservative justices and the Republicans way of thinking concerning the Democrats. However, now a Democratic president can operate outside the Democratic Playbook whenever he or she chooses and change everything all together on a whim. The three branches of government are no more at this point. As of now, everything can be easily controlled by the US president. It still appears that we still have three branches of government but that is not really the case. As of right now, the US president can execute Official Acts to get rid of the judicial and legislative branches and pronounce a nationwide police state on a whim. Also, the current US President can as of right now abolish or change the very process of this presidential election. Should Biden happen to win the upcoming election and is accused, by the Republicans, of stealing the election. So what? Biden can just say that everything he did during the election were official acts. Who then is to say that is not true?

Harry Reid should not have eliminated the filibuster for federal district court and appellate court judicial nominations. We would not be in the situation we are now in if he had not done so.
An important question would be: is the person murdering the political rival immune? Of course not, there is still the duty to refuse to follow an illegal order, is there not? If the president takes a bribe for an appointment, clearly the person giving the bribe is still criminally liable, no? These questions are important to address since the president always acts through others. Hmm 🤔

God tbe Supreme Court is such a stupid idea in my opinion. It will inevitably get fucked. Is there another way we can review laws that abide by humanitarian law? Anybody got any ideas? Or information from how other countries do it?
If it’s voted by peers isn’t it political by definition. The only difference it’s a group of political people voting them in instead of a single person? Only way would be for people to vote them in but then it has the same flaws as presidential campaigns, won by whoever the corporate overlords are. Which would be the worst thing that would happen to the supreme court.
In the UK, Parliament is sovereign so the UKSC cannot override government laws, but it can interpret them in a way that is constitutional (based on human rights legislation and fundamental constitutional principles such as the rule of law) so people can appeal decisions if it violates their constitutional rights, but the government cannot change the law.
Americans keep saying that this will make Trump "a king". The King isn't above the law, in the UK, at least. That's what Magna Carta was about (although it's a bit more complicated than that).
That's just standard American anti-monarchist fear-mongering. It's insane how king or emperor has become synonymous with dictator rather than a title like President or Prime Minister. Absolute Monarchies are a thing of the past here in the West and hopefully soon in the rest of the world. This makes Trump a dictator, not a king.
"Official acts" really is short for "official acts as president". Running for president happens in the capacity of a candidate, not a president. Even for a president campaigning for re-election. It's not an official duty to re-apply for President for a second term. That's a personal choice.
People like to shit on the politics in the prequels but they capture a reality of how these things actually happen. Much of the time a manufactured problem threatens the republic and those that created the problem use fear to get the people to choose tyranny. “I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire.”
Sheeple amaze me. This downward spiral with Biden has been going on for over 6 yrs. Also our country has declined. Remember the stupid slogan "Build Back Better." Sorry but I voted for Bernie. I am on SSDI and I can not get over the fact that Biden voted against it in the 1990's. You learn alot when you become disabled. People treat you differently. We are at the bottom of society. Bernie cared about us. Trump is disgusting. I fear for my life when Trump is elected. My life is hard enough. I believe the US will be like Stalin's Russia.
Absolute means absolutely! Your wish is my command when there are no consequences for unauthorized behavior. And everything is official by my authority.
Trump would walk right out to the microphones and do this. 'It's a great day for America..." Biden and the Dems will do nothing. Just like Obama did for the Supreme Court pick they lost. It's pathetic but true.
I think it's both fair and necessary to point out that the rule of law has broken down under both parties. Executive orders have been increasingly circumventing Congress, admittedly for far more minor things.
Executive orders are nowhere near stealing two lifetime justice seats. Then using them to undermine the peaceful transfer of power and declare the executive immune to nearly any prosecution surrounding these actions isn't anywhere near an executive order. To be fair..
While yes the rule of law has diminished on both sides, the left is far from trying to execute a fascist takeover, as the right is currently and successfully doing. Biden is also a vegetable and has not been capable of knowing when he is doing wrong, IMO. Frankly, I think everything that was accomplished under Biden has been at the behest of his wife, his son and his advisors/handlers. Therefore I don't think it's fair to judge Biden the way a President in full control of his faculties would have. I don't think he's been aware of wrongdoing and is absent from executing his job properly, which is not the same as sustained and calculated effort on the right to take over and destroy Democracy, the United States and our system of government for unfettered power and greed and Christo-Fascism.

Maybe treating the court like a church for the past 200+ years wasn't a good idea if they can decide our laws and amendments do not mean what our laws and amendments are written as; Who'da thunk it? So long as the Supreme Court gets treated on a faith-based mentality, we have no set Constitution, and we have no set Laws. The Constitution does not grant them the last say on anything that Congress or the people are not in agreement with, and it's for a damn good reason.
So long as _any human_ gets treated on a faith-based mentality, all we have is a self-cleaning galaxy.
It was working well enough. Don't think the founders envisioned that all 3 of the branches would be corrupted or that there would be a cult leader fascist that would appoint Supreme Court judges. They created a solid system, but they never thought so many would be so corrupt and do whatever it took to break our system.
@@gracieb.3054 They created an obsolete system that constantly gridlocks itself at the slightest hiccup. That's no way to have a "living breathing document" evolve with time when excess time not reflective of each generation running out for people in government is seemingly the only way to get any change, and not through democracy. Either way, Supreme Court doesn't have the supreme powers it claims it does; Congress and the rest of government just keeps letting them get away with it as IF they did.
@@gracieb.3054 Not really, it's an outdated and obsolete mess that is prone to gridlock at the slightest hiccups. Though no argument there that corruption and incompetence happening at the same time is how one branch is given too much supremacy they don't actually have while the rest are just floundering.
Honestly the liberals who say shit like "Well, I don't like what the court is doing, but we can't abolish it because it's in the Constitution" are completely missing the point. The world has changed so drastically since the days when the Constitution was written (and is a flawed document written by flawed humans), and as such sticking to it and not updating it to accommodate a world that has gone beyond the days of slavery and muskets is batshit insane. We need to run the country based on fairness, not on a fundamentalist reading of a flawed document.
the nixon voice was actually so good💀
The Democrats will never have the balls to pack the Court these days!!! Somebody might disagree!!
The court has gone rogue and any rulings must be ignored. The judges must be held accountable and removed from their offices.

I think it’s fair to ask at this point if democrats are intentionally trying to lose? If I was designing a losing campaign, I think I’d end up down the same path the democrats took.
I think denial, incompetence, and an inability to be as ruthless as the fascist's is where a great deal of fault for the current situation lies. Btw, I love Bob's Burgers. Nice pic there!
Given that the same donors who fund the Dems also fund the Republicans, and the Republicans are less likely to make them pay fair taxes and treat their workers with basic human dignity, this is genuinely possible.
The conservative side of SCOTUS has just made it possible for ANY US president to execute an Official Act of abolishing their own court all together at any given time.
Doe anyone else actually realize that this is the end of our previous understanding of democracy?
Abolish the supreme Court. Make a new court with more rules more regulations and exceptions to what they can or can't do. Apparently we need a bill of laws that applies to the supreme Court along with term limits.

You prevent this by making politicians too scared to take corporate money.
I’m sorry but where does this idea of immunity come from for a President? It makes no sense.A President is a citizen just as I am a citizen. Why do they deserve that right?
What I’ve seen is trumps team came up with it based on some prior unitary executive nonsense and the court just said “ok”
I know its stupidiest most corrupt thing . I can also argue they should be way harder on president to hold in line
the original immunity is sovereign immunity, the king can do what he wants, whenever he wants.
when monarchies implemented parliaments that's when we got parliamentary immunity, to prevent said king from using the law as a weapon against them.
today it's mostly a protection from malicious litigation, so that the time governments could spend on policy etc doesn't get taken up by lawsuits. there's also the aspect that while laws are good, there purpose of them is a stable society, sometime a government might have to break those to safeguard the country, like by assasinating Osama or others. That's when governments to something illegal, for which they probably should have some protection. Like how do you engage in spying and things of that nature if you can just be sued or arrested.
There's further the idea in the us that you can't overrule the will of the people, who elected someone, through courts and instead have to rely on something that is also an expression of the will of the people, namely congress.
@@nonyabisness6306 ok but where does that appear in the Constitution?

"How much do you expect to get away with, Mr President?"
"However much I see fit?"
"Hmmm. Alright, fine. But you're on thin ice, mister."
One thing I think y'all need to consider is that the court will not evenly apply what counts as an official act to every president. I find it very likely that something deemed a crime and unofficial act by a democrat, would be ruled an official act by a Republican. I don't think this court would allow the rules its creating to be used fairly by each side. I think that's a big reason why most conversative aren't worried about Democrats abusing the rules they are creating.
Jeepers! Do you mean laws are being applied unequally? I should tell Trump that! He may not know!
@BigMackWitSauce What you have said is true concerning the SC conservative justices and the Republicans way of thinking concerning the Democrats.
However, now a Democratic president can operate outside the Democratic Playbook whenever he or she chooses and change everything all together on a whim.
The three branches of government are no more at this point. As of now, everything can be easily controlled by the US president. It still appears that we still have three branches of government but that is not really the case.
As of right now, the US president can execute Official Acts to get rid of the judicial and legislative branches and pronounce a nationwide police state on a whim.
Also, the current US President can as of right now abolish or change the very process of this presidential election.
Should Biden happen to win the upcoming election and is accused, by the Republicans, of stealing the election. So what? Biden can just say that everything he did during the election were official acts. Who then is to say that is not true?

An important question would be: is the person murdering the political rival immune? Of course not, there is still the duty to refuse to follow an illegal order, is there not? If the president takes a bribe for an appointment, clearly the person giving the bribe is still criminally liable, no? These questions are important to address since the president always acts through others. Hmm 🤔

Change who appoints them. It shouldn't be a political appointment. It should be based on merit. Voted on by your peers.
Good shit
If it’s voted by peers isn’t it political by definition. The only difference it’s a group of political people voting them in instead of a single person? Only way would be for people to vote them in but then it has the same flaws as presidential campaigns, won by whoever the corporate overlords are. Which would be the worst thing that would happen to the supreme court.
In the UK, Parliament is sovereign so the UKSC cannot override government laws, but it can interpret them in a way that is constitutional (based on human rights legislation and fundamental constitutional principles such as the rule of law) so people can appeal decisions if it violates their constitutional rights, but the government cannot change the law.

That's just standard American anti-monarchist fear-mongering. It's insane how king or emperor has become synonymous with dictator rather than a title like President or Prime Minister. Absolute Monarchies are a thing of the past here in the West and hopefully soon in the rest of the world. This makes Trump a dictator, not a king.

"Official acts" really is short for "official acts as president". Running for president happens in the capacity of a candidate, not a president. Even for a president campaigning for re-election. It's not an official duty to re-apply for President for a second term. That's a personal choice.

Please stop this. Biden isn't trump. We dont want him to be. That's why we voted for him
I think it's both fair and necessary to point out that the rule of law has broken down under both parties. Executive orders have been increasingly circumventing Congress, admittedly for far more minor things.
Executive orders are nowhere near stealing two lifetime justice seats. Then using them to undermine the peaceful transfer of power and declare the executive immune to nearly any prosecution surrounding these actions isn't anywhere near an executive order. To be fair..
Name an Executive Order by Trump then name the MANY BY BIDEN!
While yes the rule of law has diminished on both sides, the left is far from trying to execute a fascist takeover, as the right is currently and successfully doing. Biden is also a vegetable and has not been capable of knowing when he is doing wrong, IMO. Frankly, I think everything that was accomplished under Biden has been at the behest of his wife, his son and his advisors/handlers. Therefore I don't think it's fair to judge Biden the way a President in full control of his faculties would have. I don't think he's been aware of wrongdoing and is absent from executing his job properly, which is not the same as sustained and calculated effort on the right to take over and destroy Democracy, the United States and our system of government for unfettered power and greed and Christo-Fascism.
