Immunity Impunity
0
Der Spiegel talks with Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe about the Supreme Supremacist Court’s recent decision granting Donald Trump “presidential immunity” for “official acts.” Professor Tribe finds the decision to be–er–of questionable legitimacy.
It is a timely and disturbing read. Here’s a tiny bit of it (emphasis in the original):
Tribe: My colleagues in the government department are exactly right. It is a dangerous phenomenon. Minorities are entitled to protection in every respect. But no minority should be able to run roughshod over the majority. After all, it is not a minority of the oppressed that has gained such power in our system. It is the minority of those with the greatest wealth and the best connections. And they are now running the show in a way that is very dangerous to our democracy.

The Rule of Lawless 0
At Above the Law, Joe Patrice dissects the Supreme Supremacist Court’s duplicitous doubletalk crowning Donald Trump (or, for that matter, any President, including Joe Biden, though methinks he would decline the privilege, as he believes in the rule of law) as a king somehow above the rule of law.
The Founding Fathers, who, granted, had many flaws, not the least of which was tolerance of chattel slavery, wished to escape the rule of a sovereign,
Today’s Republican Party wishes to crown one.
