when a former president is granted partial immunity from criminal cases. The Supreme Court, by granting 45 (I can no longer say his name!!) immunity from crimes committed while he served as president, has all but destroyed its legitimacy, This makes a mockery of the Supreme Court, already with the lowest approval rating, ever, but it also is a horrible assault on our Democracy. Legal scholars coast to coast never thought this could ever happen, since this move has systematically made the Supreme Court a legislative branch, something which was never intended. You might call this a Constitutional crisis, but I will call it something worse--the end of Democracy. The former president and future presidents (G-d help us if 45 is back in power) could execute one of his enemies--and he has stated he plans to--and walk away with ease. He is already walking away from the January 6th insurrection, the stolen documents case and already the NYC case has raised questions, and he was already found guilty.
He is guilty. He is a convicted felon. But the Supreme court and the goat-following public is making him something more--a king, a very grotesque king, who you had better not mess with. I grieve for this country.
