Harry, Harry, Harry,. I am a 74 yo retired lady who feels that if the Supreme Court of the United States can't figure this one out in 5 minutes flat, the Judges do not deserve the Robes they wear. Thank You
ABSOLUTELY!!!🗽
The Supreme Court was once the most respected body on Earth. Now Alito and Thomas have soiled it like one of Trump's dirty diapers. This is awful.
And Mitch McCon. He denied Obama the appointment based in his made up rule, then broke his own made up rule to squeeze another one in and, LITERALLY, stack the court! Mitch did that. TFG was a useful “tool.”
Well-said.
SCOTUS has lost all credibility.
😂😂😂😂 SCOTUS? HELL NO! SCROTUMS IS MORE LIKE IT.
@@kevinviner5420 You are being totally unkind AND unfair to our scrota (plural of the singular noun 'scrotum,' a sac which surrounds and protects our balls [testicles] from exposure to the outside world). We men NEED and HIGHLY VALUE our scrota - we DON'T need, NOR do we respect, value or hold in high esteem our today's deeply corrupted United States Supreme Court, which is increasingly likely to pronounce Trump - and by extension all our future presidents - as KINGS, who can do no wrong and are totally above the reach of the law, which will henceforth apply ONLY to the rest of us!
@kevinviner542I like it...SCROTUS!
As if they have had any!
And Dignity, Integrity, and Respect.
This is all so humiliating. Disgusted by SCOTUS, revolted, horrified. Shame on them. Shame on us for allowing this POS to stack the courts and run again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump loaded the "Deck" as it were. They've bn bought n.psid for by trump
2 by McConnell
I can't believe that UA-cam is blocking my comments because it's true, and I have been a subscriber since 2010. The GOP appointed SCOTUS justices are an imminent threat to the constitution and democracy!
@@ellijohnson1902 3. Not 2 but 3.
Agree, Vote Blue! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
The conservatives made an absolute mockery of their duty to address the actual case before them by gaslighting with ridiculous hypothetical situations that were not part of the question asked of them. I was disgusted by them.
Absolutely
Me, too! Disgusted.
“We is dumb.” 🫠🙃🤓😜. I only went to Jr. college. So apparently “intellect is moot.
There is nothing to discuss. A President doesn't have absolute immunity.
Yes. What's there to discuss? It's black & white. It truly is a baZarO world. Cheers DK
Did you actually watch the hearing?
@debra Ya'd think, but not with this supremely corrupt court!
@@adee1626 Hi, Ivan. Enjoy your MAGAbot psychotic delusions. The rest of us prefer reality.
@@stormwatcher59 and you think the DOJ isn’t corrupt?
Thank you MERRICK GARLAND for doing nothing for two years. History will not be kind to this man.
Absolutely, can you imagine if he had made it onto the Supreme Court? He would’ve been Clarence Thomas of the left wing.
Agreed, but Garland seems to be only one cog in the overall plan to keep trump from being held accountable.
He’s a federalist, just like the conservatives in the court! His inaction is on purpose!
@@robertdillon9989 Thomas hasn't done nothing though, he is a lynchpin of the Christian Fascist movement.
History will be as kind to him as all the leading Dem politicians giving him a voice.
What I heard from the Supreme Court yesterday left me appalled, disgusted and worried. PACK THE COURT!
Shame on SCOTUS
The ballot box my friend. Scotus , Jack smith and Alvin Bragg won’t bail you out. Joes record will be on the ballot . Good luck
@@adee1626 I'm not worried! I know the sane and truthful side of the USA will elect President Biden again..for 4 MORE YEARS for BIDEN!
I am worn out by the stunts of the SC. Trump is like dog poo that you can't get off your shoes. We are in the Dark Ages.
If you don't appreciate and respect the Constitution of this land, there is always China or North Korea.
@@branmichaluk445 It seems like your Constitution isn't up to the challenge. You may be likened to China or North Korea sooner than you think.
@@derekbell4173 That's your problem, it's the constitution of the United States. It will never be undermined or altered by the woke Soros clan. The polls clearly show this every day.
Agree
@@derekbell4173 The 2nd. looking forward to using it.
The rot in the SCOTUS is out for all to see. The court needs to be reformed starting with impeachment and removal of the two justices that took lavish gifts from millionaires who are the worst of the bunch - Thomas and Alito.
Let's not forget Thomas' wife is a card carrying insurrectionist also.
@@dynomiterecords4348 She should be tried.
SC are a disgrace
Sadly, agree completely. Who would have ever thunk? Cheers G5684
sickening hypocrites
But when it goes your way they are perfect. Hypocrites
@@adee1626no. When it isn’t so crazy that we really wonder if they will install Trump as president and destroy our country - then they are doing their job. Never perfect. Unless doing your job as intended is perfect.
@@adee1626when has it gone our way?
What a waste of time. No one should have immunity. EVER
Trump won, got what he wanted, delay, delay his court trails before election with the help of the Corrupt Supreme Court.
People given the privilege of serving their country at the highest level, and yet cannot leave their politics and favouritism out of the law. How sad for America.
Like the DOJ and FBI.
@@branmichaluk445 Maybe you like Putin
And their religion. All the conservatives are Catholics.
Self-interest and we are stupid. We will win!!!
@@zangsax You have only 7 months to find a real job.
The government freebies will end.
TRUMP 2024.
Billionaire-owned Extreme Court
Exactly $COTUS
That’s what we really have! The conservatives are ruling on money not precedent! Not law, but gifts!
It's time the SCOTUS were introduced to the novel concept of justice, rather than political bias
Or the law!! Impeach them for lieing during their evaluation in the senate!!
It's also time to EXPAND the court! When SCOTUS was formed, there were 9 districts = 9 Supreme Justices. Now there are 13 districts, so there should be 13 Supreme Justices.
And ethics, obviously another subject they know nothing about.
@@LD86 When it was formed, there were 6 (1 chief + 5 associate) justices.
@@ronald3836 Now it’s 13 districts. Meaning there should be 13 justices to represent each district of the USA.
Time to impeach political and corrupt Court judges.
The court doesn’t need to agree with Trump’s crazy theory. They only need to give him time which is exactly what they did. We the people need to do the right thing and vote against Trump in November.
And they already made up their minds before the arguments were presented! Corruption at it's finest! 🤬🤬
Thank God for the NY DA.
Agreed
In huge numbers across the country. Blue all across the arms of government
If they let us 🤔🇺🇸
The Supreme Court Justices will do anything to help Donald Trump it's such a derelict of duty.
you can't call them justices without gagging, it is Supreme Court Hacks.
Agreed. We have six Ultra MAGAts, who have been bought and paid for, sitting on the highest court of the land. Disgusting!
Thank you Merrick Garland. You left Jack Smith in the wings when we needed him most. Everyone knew Trump would run out the clock. Everyone knew he had stacked the courts high and low with "helpers." And they helped. Justice denied. Totally dispiriting.
Garland is just in cahoots with the gop!
This court is an absolute abomination !!!!!!
This is so DUMB!! SCOTUS should NEVER have taken this up!!
Court has been stacked to bring in the white evangelical authoritarian state.
People need to vote. Vote blue or lose everything. Think of all those who lost their lives defending America.
😢 I listened to the arguments in SCOTUS yesterday. I could hear democracy dying. It was truly horrifying. Truly.
Impeach the 3 liars on the court!!
YES!
And Uncle Clarence!
Only 3?
I am surprised that the justices that lied about upholding the Roe v Wade precedent have not been taken to task. The democrats will have a lot of work to do fixing your democracy if they ever get control of both houses.
yes impeach Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson
The older I get the more I realize conservatives would be perfectly OK for the USA to be a monarchy or maybe even a dictatorship.
There're records that date back to literarly the turn of last century of what were then extreme but respected and small wing of conservative Republicans (that was when there was also a progressive wing of that party, of which, if there is a vestige alive today, would be represented by David Cay Johnston, but by no elected member of the Republican party) were penning treatises on turning back the clock to put a near-monarch at the head of the country, wherein only propertied Christian white men (again) could vote. Betsy DeVoss, whom Trump had appointed Secretary of Education, descends from, and still embodies the beliefs of this wing, though she understands, as did her forefathers, that such beliefs are too odious to the vast majority of Americans, and so must be obscured, or misdirected from, against being seen plainly by the public. Some of this ilk are, if not coming directly from this pedigree, are at least "fellow travelers" who have come to similar conclusions, and are seated presently on the Supreme Court.
That’s obvious at this point in time!
“Maybe”?
These judges are a disgrace. Do they think we are stupid or something?
They believe they are above us, and don't really care what we think.
The US Supreme Court is the most ridiculous body in the law. They really need to grow up and be accountable for their own actions.
bobberts, gorsuck, the handmail, uncle thomas, rape-a-naugh and effete-o, need to be put in time out and removed from their cushy lifetime positions and made to work fast food joints until they learn what justice really is.
They are grown up. Grown-up and corrupt. It’s a matter of ruling for their federalist society handlers.
Americans need to hold them accountable.
2/3 vote in Senate can Impeach a Supreme Court Justice. Democrats need to get control of both House and Senate. VOTE BLUE!💙
They're more interested in getting paid. Look at Thomas and Alito.
I am so completely disgusted.
The Supreme Court is tainted and Thomas should have recused himself due to his wife’s involvement with J6!
There is more than just a hint of impropriety.😤
Shameful. Disgraceful. Scandalous. Against moral and human principles.
Should a President ever be free to commit a crime, ever? Why would that ever be OK? The President is tasked with executing and upholding the rule of law. Giving that person the right to defy the law-under any circumstances-would be “breaking” the law in its most literal sense.
If the conservative justices only considered the actual immunity case before them, it could be a quick decision, but it was said out loud, they aren't addressing that. They are delaying to help Trump, because they are more politicians than justices.
If Trump has immunity...then SO DOES BIDEN...and he ought to act on it quickly!!
The SC should work based on law, not politics. It is beyond comprehension of the damage they are inducing on the country and its democracy...
Self-interest the highest level. Why? Greed, ego?
Absolutely ridiculous argument by the SC!
Just like the arguments around Roe.
It's a variation of the Nuremburg defense, and all the ridiculous hypothetical excuses are nothing butredherrings .
The Constitution, not Trump.
I can't believe that UA-cam is blocking my comments because it's true, and I have been a subscriber since 2010. The GOP appointed SCOTUS justices are an imminent threat to the constitution and democracy!
The people should have the right to vote these so called political justices out of office. They are the worst people I have seen to be in such an important position. Another reason to vote democrat this November so we can do something about this supreme court.
I want my President to be worried, to be VERY worried, about breaking any law while performing his 'duties'. I do not want a President who can casually disregard the laws of our land.
Alito lives in a different time….in his head. What an angry old man. He should step down. His views are reactionary.
Shame on this Supreme Court!!!
Kavanaugh was never adequately vetted. Challenge his credibility in serving in the SC.
The crybaby fratboy.
Third world democracy
Yes,if scotus supports drump then they are destroying our constitution and country!! For once with this scotus we should not have to worry about them ruling incorrectly!!
Something needs to be done about the Supreme Court- Biden should campaign on the issue.
The Conservative Supine Court is telling us that " all animals are created equal but some animals are more equal than others " right in front of our faces with an attitude that reeks of fascism.
This so called Supreme Court should be closed down immediately!
We need to vote in a dem majoriy in the House and the Senate and then impeach the bad actors like Alito and Thomas.
And to Alito, Sotomayor should have asked: What is stopping the president from killing the Chief Justice, given thst he can easily pardon the persons whom he so directed?
Would love to have heard his response to that!
The Supreme Court could respond on this quickly and redeem themselves by sending this back to DC Judge and call it a day. The fact they want to give him immunity to overthrow the government is just so unbelievable. What happened to the actual law. This should not be about their politics. The world is watching.
Sounds like treason! The court is committing treason!
There is no debate a president does not have absolute immunity against criminality.
How can anyone call these justices conservative? They are absolutely radical.
The prosecution should have floated the hypothetical of crimes against the judiciary perpetrated by the executive branch
Amen
I agree what if a President had all the SC Justices kidnapped and declared himself as filling in for the Chief Justice and declared that members of his cabinet would fill in for the other Justices. Is that something a President would have immunity for doing? Is the only recourse impeachment? The President should not be above or out of reach of criminal or civil justice. Is a Supreme Court Justice immune from the laws because otherwise politicians that did not like their stance or opinion would possibly bring charges against them?
Maybe that would have gotten their attention!!
Should the President have the authority to jail the SC if he doesn't like any ruling they make?
@@stevelayton1271 Jail....or worse! If he's immune and can have his political enemies eliminated...on the top of the list...anyone who could hold him accountable, for anything! How long do they think SC would last under such tyranny?
Their big Ego's (for at least 6 of them) is why they are even hearing this case in the first place...Shameful!
Yep. The arrogance is unbelievable.
The USSC is a major embarrassment!! Worst high court ever.
Granting the President Absolute Immunity would require a Constitutional Amendment - there is nothing in the Constitution that allows this and SCOTUS does not have the authority to change the Constitution
I can't for the life of me think of an official duty of our president that would require breaking the law. Indeed, that thought is antithetical to the executive oath of office, rendering it meaningless right out of the gate...
Thanks for your words. People don't remember many of USA laws are very intertwined internationally. The prevPrez45 understands that? 🤔
BS we need to remove the liars on the court.
SC is delaying for Trump. Who do they work for? Cause it's not us.
The 6 cons work for the Republican Party, or should I say, the Trump Party.
If they're working for Trump....they are ultimately working for Putin...which makes all of them traitors!
The federalist society!
Nice to know that once you buy a supreme court judge, they stay bought.
Tronald is EX-President, the people voted him out - unlike a former who served Admirably and Honorably for the Constitution and the People
THIS
And those are to judge who committed perjury in the hearing they said Rov v Wade was settled law and both of them said that and why did the new people call them out my opinion
He’s the ex-guy.
I remember when dems called Bush a nazi war criminal and that he should be prosecuted. How about CLinton for rape and sexual assault... crickets
I’m truly ashamed of my country.
Time to expand the court.
First we need to clean house! Then we expand.
@@ginahill503 Unfortunately, SCOTUS appointments are lifetime. Short of impeachment, the only solution is to expand the court.
Inserting himself into election counts, state procedures or any other election matters is not a president's duty or right. No way that is an official duty.
R's are for states rights except when they aren't.
I no longer have faith in any branch of our government. I’m so depressed. 😢
It’s generational. First let’s get rid of boogie man and move toward the whole.
Please explain how a supposedly "conservative judge" doesn't understand the founding idea of our nation NOT having a king.
So the question becomes, what exactly are they trying to "conserve" if they dont even understand the basic premise of our founding?
Their own power to dictate to others.
Because they are getting $$$$ kick backs. Look up propublica reporting on alito and thomas. All are federalist society so they are likely all doing it
Biden can just stay in office and appoint new justices and impeach these current idiots!
I'm disappointed and frightened.
How about we vote
them all out except a few....we are the people !!!!
We have no supreme coúrt
SC Justices are not voted in. Nor can they be voted out.
And just how would we vote them out?
@@postergmail6202impeach them for lieing during their conformation hearing in the senate!!
How about we just ignore their decisions. How about we decide in the Senate and the house to recertify them as a neutered branch of government?
Certain justices insulted the integrity of grand juries
13 Circuits 13 Justices.
Along with enforceable ethics code and term limits.
Absolutely agree.
The Supreme Court of Corruption
The Supreme Court never ceases to disappoint. Smdh
I've been watching the court very closely since the late 1970s, and it is absolutely the worst court by far. This court is, in fact, clearly the worst in over a century. The current court is, my friends, illegitimate, unfortunately.
HOW is Clarence Thomas not recused from voting on this???!?!?!
why would anyone have any faith in or respect for this system of injustice?
Democrats must decide whether they are serious or not about Trump. If you are serious, you must donate to the reelection of Joe Biden and vote for Joe Biden. If you are not serious, go back to sleep.
Many republicans are waking up and will not vote for trump.
I donate to President Biden monthly and a few in-between!!🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
I do once a month!
Can we be serious without having to donate ? What’s wrong with just voting ? That seemed to work in the past .
Biden cannot thwart authoritarians on his own. Downballot candidates are just as important. And state level voter suppression efforts are ongoing; be on the lookout for anti-democratic legislation and rule changes and do what you can to thwart them.
This court belongs in the third world.
Plug in the name Biden and see what they say about immunity.
1/2 the world is dumbfounded by the republican sc judges and the other 1/2 is laughing at them
Most are horrified, if they care at all, whether dumbfounded or laughing. Those in countries who'se judiciary are comprimised already know what follows.
I don’t understand how anyone on the SCROTUS except Clarence Thomas would pull for this BS and Trump.
Don't forget alito
The politicization of the Supreme Court literally makes me sick
This Court does not have any interest in being taken seriously.
Felonious Don: lock him up
I remember a time when swearing an oath meant something in the US. These oaths don't seem to be worth very much to half of the US population. It's sad to see the moral decay that has engulfed our justice and political systems.
Gangsters
The Grand Wizard, Biden should pack courts. Now!!!
There is no more justice in the US 😢
And no more rule of law.
If the Supreme Court rules for Trump, then every American should organize a nationwide protest. In fact, it wouldn't hurt to start one now.
No one should be enabled to be a dictator in America. Simply put
Time to limit terms for the SC to 4 years then instead of congress voting we vote.
One is moved to ask when Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch & Kavanaugh are going to stop their misguided inquiries into questions of the type "How many angels can fit on the head of a pin?", and instead do the ethical thing--that is, to have the guts, as a group, to affirm that NO American president may act with immunity from criminal prosecution when he flagrantly breaks the law!
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW!
But maybe POTUS shouldn't be in court then in office?
Now tell me again he's not above the law?
He’s in court everyday with 91 charges above the law how exactly?
Corrupt is the new Conservative.
❤️🤍💙 Biden/Harrs 2024 ❤️🤍💙
🎯🎯🎯🎯🏅🏅🏅🏆
Another gem from the hearing: "Nobody knows what corrupt intent means." -justice kavanaugh 4/25/2024
And this guy is on our country's highest court making monumental rulings. To quote Trump, "sad"
Time to change SCOTUS to terms. Keep moving judges on and off could be healthy for our democracy.
Would that not give President Biden full or partial immunity? Whatever they give trump would extend to all POTUS?.
I bet the plan is to delay until after the election. The SC decision may depend on who wins.
Biden should send Trump to Gitmo then say “Take me to court. It’s an official act.”
@@zen-Tii I like the way you think!
Pure theatre,
nothing at al to do with jurisprudence.
Thank you Mr. Litman for your reporting and analysis. I'm coming to trust your intuitions on these matters - and am sad the direction you suspect the unsupreme court may be taking.
It is very clear SCOTUS is corrupt, but how can you remove them?
When is Ginni Thomas going to held accountable for her crimes?
How many justices are knowledgable of the Constitution?
You must know more. Let’s put you on UA-cam justice supreme
