Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court’s July ruling in Trump v United States granted Donald Trump immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken in his official capacity changes fundamentally the dynamics of the Oval Office. This decision shields a sitting president from legal accountability for official acts, enabling unlawful behavior without consequence.

Critics, including Michael Waldman of the Brennan Center for Justice, argue that this ruling provides a “how-to guide” for presidential lawbreaking.

The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, solidified by Trump’s three appointees, has previously overturned Roe v. Wade, and now, with this immunity ruling, further consolidates presidential power. If Trump is re-elected, this immunity could embolden him to pursue aggressive policies without fear of legal repercussions, raising concerns about unchecked executive authority and the erosion of democratic checks and balances.

    No shit dickhead, I’m not Spanish. I’m just asking men on Lemmy to be normal about women, which, I get it, for sweaty nerds on the internet is a tall ask.

      Is normal the same as common sense? If you want to respect mens bodies too, they tend to be attracted to women visually.

      Why dont you just let men be normal about women alright?

      Hey, well I am a huge nerd. But I’m mostly sweaty after a workout, and if someone wants to objectify me sometimes, I’m pretty ok with that.
