Absolute miscarriage of justice. The Supreme Court NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY RE-EXAMINE the Absolute Immunity ruling before there isn’t an America left…..

Karen's avatar

There is no longer a United States of America. Ever since trump first campaigned for president, we have been the Divided States of America. We are a very different America than the one we grew up in. 😢😡🤬

Steve Doll's avatar

I call it the Untied States of America.

Cindy Schneider's avatar

United?.A very large part of this nation will never accept this dishonest ignorant criminal fascist. And we question those who do, at best.

AAA M's avatar

My sentiments exactly Cindy.

foofaraw & Chiquita(ARF!)'s avatar

Untied.....indeed.

But without meaning "free".

Ron Elliott's avatar

Same with SCOTUS. To them, admitting their error is worse than the crime they committed.

Conna Condon's avatar

Supre.e court already did and they ha e found trump in contempt. It was never absolute immunity. It was only for those presidential authority acts. Trump does not have the presidential authority to refuse due process

Momma2007's avatar

He doesn’t have absolute immunity 😉

Jean Conley's avatar

He may as well have it........nothing is stopping the Dictator Criminal Deranged Dumbbell Psychopath.

As long as it’s within the auspices of his office it sure is

Kat Pan's avatar

Trump had sworn to protect and defend the US Constitution and its laws. As I see it he's already broken so many laws in less than 100 days and nothing in the "perview" of his office allows hom to break the law. He's not a king or a dictator despite what SCOTUS has ruled.

Steve Doll's avatar

Regrettably, no he hasn't. At the in-awful-ation, they tweaked the wording in the oath (administered, of course, by his toady Johnson) to read that he would do his best to uphold the Constitution. Like every business he has failed in, his "best" is proving to be not up to expectation.

gail mbs's avatar

Steve, just fyi, all Presidents say the same thing, and the oath is always administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I think you’re referring to the part where they say “…and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.” I just listened to the 40 seconds it takes to make that declaration by Obama, Biden, and Trump (2017 & 2025), and they were identical, except when Chief Justice Roberts fumbled his reading to Obama for him to repeat in 2009, lol. I gotta be fair.

You absolutely correct .There decision to protecting one mentally unstable sociopath to control 334 million people lives must stop now before we as a nation have no power.

Donna Whyte's avatar

I personally believe that unless Trump, Musk and Johnson are not taken out physically from the White House, nothing will change.

Lorne Holland's avatar

Not a miscarriage; it was criminal. Someone should be prosecuted and if convicted sent to jail if that includes Trump then, so be it.

Leah Baum's avatar

Typical of a dictator claiming he won the election before all the votes were counted. 🤬

Sounds like they run elections similar to Putin in Russia.

Terry's avatar

And he's incredibly popular throughout the country! I have no words for the stupidity it takes to want a dictator. No words. Yes, he called himself the winner, except it actually was a landslide! Unlike trump...lol Something needs to be done about trump. My stomach can't take much more of the insanity.

foofaraw & Chiquita(ARF!)'s avatar

And every autocrat.

Most likely including "ours".

Anyone out there got a yacht in the Bahamas they can offer Clarence for a "holiday"?

Lady Emsworth's avatar

I absolutely believe that that ruling confirmed trump's view that he could do no wrong - and so he set about behaving like a mad man.

Vel Santic's avatar

worse. tRumputin is a criminally convicted and indicted psychopath, kgb's agent krasnov, once caught in the act and revealed and now murderously enraged, rabid and hellbent only on retaliation, in America and all over the world.

It was criminal from Biden Administration and Democrats to cede the mightiest power on this planet to him&his cult of monstrous terrorists!!

Lady Emsworth's avatar

"It was criminal from Biden Administration and Democrats to cede the mightiest power on this planet to him&his cult of monstrous terrorists!!"

Maybe so - but the Biden admin. obeyed the law- which is more than trump does.

Vel Santic's avatar

I never meant to liken President Biden to the terrorist, quisling, criminal tRumputin&his kgb funded cult - am only saying that never before in the whole history of humankind, esp. the post WW2 one did this happen what happened in USA on nov. 5th-6th 2024 to jan. 20ieth 2025 where "a decorum-procedure-protocol of a law" was needlessly extremely overrespected at the detriment of humankind of America and the world!! The uniquely extremely unprecedented events require the proportionate measures, NOT surrender!! What did President Biden and his Administration think - was gonna be happening after he rushed to cede the power to the convicted criminal tRumputin?????? this never ever happened before in the entire human history that the good and victims i.e. Democrats cede the mightiest powers of this world to criminals, quisling, terrorists akin to the saudi hijackers of American Airplanes on 9.11.2001!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Unfortunately. the founders and writers of the Constitution never thought to put in very strenuous guardrails against the country going insane and electing AND SUPPORTING a criminal president. If the entire country realised what a horror show the whole administration is, there would be no problem. As it is, at least 70 million of them think he is sent by God.

The ignorance (NOT stupidity) in this country is staggering. And that has been planned for since Reagan. Only 79% of Americans are literate. That means 72 million Americans can only read and write enough to sign their name - if that. I don't think it's any coincidence that matches closely with the number of MAGA voters. And of the 79% literate, 54% can only read to 6th grade level.

The opposition is working with what they HAVE got - we must pray it will be enough. If you read social media comments about Garcia, it is VERY clear that an awful lot of people have no idea what it is actually all about - or the danger that they are in.

Vel Santic's avatar

I know all that.

What I don't know is why did President Biden's Administration refuse/ignore all multitudes of expertly calls to hand-recount and investigate the nov. 5th 2024 election.

Lunatunes26's avatar

That wasnt the Dems doing, that's the people's doing, the American people.

Vel Santic's avatar

Are you telling me that American people anti-Constitutionally removed 4M of Democratic voters from voter rolls?? Are you telling me that American people gave eVIlonmusk to hack the tabulating machines' codes and create the "drop -off" effect that stole the Kamala Harris's votes to tRumputin's in the battleground states - something never ever before seen in the whole history of voting in USA?? Are you telling me that American people approved terrorist putin's gru bombing threats to Democratic places?? Are you telling me that American people forbade President Biden and his Administration to investigate and hand-recount the nov. 5th 2024 elections?? Are you telling me that American people forbade President Biden and his Administration to audit those elections??

Schmendryck's avatar

Uh, good luck with that.

Ana warner's avatar

Is this finally an impeachable offense??? Can US Marshalls arrest this orange mofo?

Robin Elizabeth Simpson Scott's avatar

They are all impeachable offenses. The problem is there isn't the vote in the house to get an impeachment even going anywhere.

We cannot 'wait' for midterms.

The fight is in right NOW.

For a supposedly educated person your are a complete idiot. Nobody is defending illegal immigrants or criminals. We are defending the rule of law that allows for EVERYONE who is in this country, legal or illegal, due process. This man has been made out to be a criminal and gang member. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. If the government is so sure he is, then let them PROVE it. And if so, deport him. If not, leave him alone, because he has a prior court order stating he can’t be deported to El Salvador.

Please go. You obviously do not value a Constitutional Republic. Trump bankrupted his fathers companies, now he is driving this nation under. He is an actual convicted felon, an actual adjudicated sexual predator, and he shredded the Constitution during his last misadministration. May I recommend Russia or Else Salvador since rule of law obviously means little to you.

You’re an idiot who thinks he’s a genius. We’re a group here that shared opinions without spewing fucking lies. Run along now and crawl back under the slimy rock you slithered out of you fucking maggot Nazi.

Steve Forman's avatar

Again, for someone allegedly so educated, you certainly don’t seem to understand immigration law. Maybe you missed that day in law school. Being undocumented/illegal is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. The fact that his request for citizenship was denied does not make him a criminal and is certainly not grounds to have him deported. Labeling him a gang member without a chance to defend himself violates one of the principles upon which our nation was founded, due process. You can bloviate all you want about that being fair or not, but ANYONE residing within the United States, legally or not, has the right to due process. So either go back to school again and actually learn something or STFU!

Richard Van Atta's avatar

Well— Doctor Doctor Doctor with an MBA — what’s the fucking deal with all that … perhaps you might address the total lack of constitutionally mandated due process rather than spewing nonsense… The issue is not whether anyone else might have done one thing or another — There is no evidence Abrego did anything. And without due process we will never know. When ICE shoves you into a van and off to El Slaveador I bet you Doctors degrees will come in handy….

Donna Whyte's avatar

There is a great joke about the Academic Doctors and it does not end well with The Academic Doctors. They get tossed out of an airplane because the terrorists want a Medical Physician.

foofaraw & Chiquita(ARF!)'s avatar

Wasn't it Vonnegut in Player Piano who did such a great sendup of "doctor degrees"?

Basically, a TV repairman is a "doctor", with the proper paperwork.

So, bots such as this "doctor" have finally included a sense of the ridiculous?

Too bad they omit irony...proof they come from the GOP (or Russia.)

Steve Forman's avatar

Because of this:

The clause in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:

No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.[4]

The clause in Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:

... nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.[5]

Do you see anything about citizens? It says “person.” That means any person, citizen or not. Maybe you should have read the Constitution before commenting on this subject.

c pierce's avatar

Sure, if crimes are BAD enough, they can deny due process? Every damned police state in the freaking world calls their victims criminals, terrorists, or my fav, hooligans (ussr). Better hope they never tag you or someone you love. Clownish take.

Jean Conley's avatar

Leave it to a loyal Dictator Criminal Psycho republiCRAP to make that statement. Incompetent and uneducated in what our constitution is all about--just like the Bimbo in the Oval Office.

Corrupt Democrats? Wrong party, Doc. You’re obviously a card-carrying Rethug. Good luck with that level of criminality.

Valerie's avatar

Hmmm. If you really are WIlliam Manion, you have a very interesting CV. Yes, I did an internet search on the name. A forensic pathologist, “expert witness.” You shared a CNN article last year about Gen Z that painted a different picture of Gen Z under Biden than the one you paint in your angry rant above. Were things perfect under Biden? No, housing was a huge problem. Still is now that mortgages have hit an all-time high.

Young people did indeed either not vote at all (the majority) or the slim majority appear to have voted for Trump. Because they believe the same kind of rhetoric you are spewing above. And now look where it’s got them. Terrible economy, rule of law in danger, schools threatened. Instead of screaming about illegal immigration, why don’t you write something to uplift us about the golden times ahead under Trump?

Kathi M's avatar

Why do you persist in listing all the expenses that migrants supposedly don’t contribute to? Are you not actively listening to diverse news perspectives and comparing the facts?

It has been demonstrated that a significant portion of migrants pay taxes and social security, but they do not file to receive benefits—they are simply not eligible. They contribute partially to demonstrate their willingness, hoping it will positively impact their case.

Most migrants hold low-paying jobs that some Americans consider beneath them and would not undertake.

Our country and others have exploited third-world countries for natural resources and prevented their home countries from participating in free trade agreements.

When their economies are depleted and they have no means of farming or sustaining themselves, that is when they are compelled to leave their homes.

Who is truly responsible for this situation?

As a nation, we take without regard for the consequences, yet we resent their desire to participate in a system for which they are willing to work.

Go spout your lies on Fox News. You obviously hang on their every lie based a what you wrote here. If you don’t like the truth go on a different site. Or maybe really educate yourself. I seriously doubt you’re any of those alphabet letters you put behind your name

Leah Baum's avatar

William is a bigot who hates immigrants. Unless he’s indigenous he needs to GTFO. Just another Nazi republican spewing his hate. I don’t care what degrees he has, the dumbest people I have ever met was in college.

Leah Baum's avatar

Anyone on the internet can lie and write they have a bunch of degrees. William talks like a high school dropout.

I see the lol at the very end. Please clarify if that whole horrible comment was just sarcasm? Are you for or against this administration?

Eva Seifert's avatar

He is a real person - he popped up on LinkedIn. Click on his name, and see his comments. Based on his comments and who he restacks, he believes it. Sad that a man who has so many degrees, and so much education, and has actually done good for people is so blind.

Eva Seifert's avatar

Actually, for real. Just google him.

Vel Santic's avatar

Yes, but do you really believe LinkedIn's data are true always?? I sorely doubt williammanion has really any of titles he adorns himself with.

What can be done for the other men who were kidnapped without due process? They should all come back and have their cases heard as well! Glad to hear Abrego is at least out of CECOT

Nancy M White's avatar

And what about all the others on that plane? Don’t they deserve due process as well?

willsx2's avatar

Absolutely. Senator Van Hollen talked about that. I think they are pressing this case first because the regime has said they made a mistake so it is extremely hard to defend.

Cindy Dore's avatar

You are absolutely correct!

Teach84's avatar

And this afternoon Trump is spouting more lies that Garcia is a human trafficker among other things. Congress needs to get its act together and do something. They say they’re scared, but SO ARE WE! The difference is that they have the power to do something about it, but we don’t.

We have a protest on Saturday. Nonviolent. Take deep breaths, but be loud. Remember President Eisenhower was a patriot and demonstrably supported the Supreme Court’s order Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (May 17, 1954). I covered what he did in Little Rock, AR, in my post below. In September 1957, Eisenhower ordered the elite 101st Airborne to restore order in Little Rock. The picture of those troop driving from Fort Campbell in the dark of night sticks in my mind. Regular Army troops activated to restore order is a rare occurrence. We should not forget why: the cause of anti-racism. The racism that prevailed in my youth is disgusting to me, and has been not only unleashed, but also promoted by a lawless administration. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/forking-roads?r=3m1bs

That is not a rhetorical question. This can happen as Trump & Co continually escalate their absurd fuckery of our nation!

THANK YOU SENATOR FOR GOING TO SEE ABREGO GARCIA. I'm sure it gave him a glimmer of hope and likewise to his family here. I know it gives me som hope, mainly to know he is alive and in one piece. Thanks so much for this press release.. to share the update on. This atrocious act performed by our pathetic and embarrassing imposter President.
