- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that presidents have immunity for official actions in office, giving former President Donald Trump some protections from criminal prosecution and likely postponing his election interference trial until after the November election. Former federal prosecutor Scott Fredericksen, CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford, CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes, CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson, CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa, and attorney and CBS News campaign reporter Katrina Kaufman have analysis of the decision.

Impeachment requires an ethical Congress with a backbone not individual Congressional members concerned with self interest.
And a guilty president is required.
Define ethical
@@jakemoeller7850 Following the laws they wrote and the congressional rules they created, evenly regardless of party affiliation or financial status.
Def “conforming to accepted standards of conduct”
It requires, WE THE PEOPLE to STAND UP FOR AMERICA AND DEMOCRACY!
THIS is ALL from 2010.
Americans did NOTHING after Citizens United.
No MAJORITY for Obama in 3/4 of his term 2010-2014
2016, 60,000 votes in 3 states!!!
Americans need to DO some soul searching, be honest with and for yourselves. 🪞
Thinking, JUST VOTE, will be handing tRumpf the White House.
This is the new ruling from the supreme Court. They rule that we now have a presidential King. King Biden. He has been given much power and authority to override and undercut a dictator Trump through the presidential act with immunity. #HailKingBiden ♒♒🪐🪐💜💜
They have created the never ending law case.
Warcrimes and such were always in immunity, but inland crimes and excluding all evidence from official conduct has decended into authocracy. I dont understand this at all...
Fascism to start with Suyocracy for another and trump wants to be king.
We don't have to worry about that today. The supreme Court handed us our first presidential King. King Biden. He has been given much power and authority to overrule and undermine dictator Trump through the presidential act with immunity. #HailKingBiden ♒♒🪐🪐💜💜
Horrible!
he cant live much longer ....so
Who writes the presidential hit list😢😢😢😢😢
If you see the dead man, Barry So and so. he was only pres with Peace Prize and a hit lit. He'd know. If not ask the long dead Michelle as HE actually ran the show. His husband, the orator, just did as he was told.
You should ask the Clinton's, since they like to have people taken out
Bob Saget
Alex Jones
Got to protect your own. Corrupt is corrupt. Shouldn't be a surprise it went down this way.
The supreme court took six months to make this decision. It took them two weeks to make the Colorado decision so don’t tell me they haven’t been dragging their feet.
They have to say that because our CIC is going to be up on charges next.
Slava Ukraini. Charges for what?
Hamilton, in Federalist No. 69, compares the powers of the president to those of a monarch, stating that the president's powers are limited by the Constitution and that he can be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. This concept of impeachment as a check on presidential power is a key theme throughout The Federalist Papers.
Madison, in Federalist No. 51, emphasizes the importance of separation of powers and checks and balances in preventing tyranny. He argues that the president should be accountable to the people and subject to impeachment if he abuses his power.
Finally, a person with a brain.
This is exactly correct. And in the act of an impeachment for the president is where the immunity idea lies. How? If the president has no immunity, why do you need an impeachment? You don't. You just indict him. Since an impeachment is necessary to further indict a president, the act of impeaching a president is the removal of that immunity!!!
Trump was already impeached for this offense. He was acquitted. Therefore any prosecution on things for January 6th are immune at best and double jeopardy at worst!
The case is over!!
That's such a misunderstanding of the federalist papers. SO every party can just impeach and arrest the president ok. Well Biden and Obama gong to go next if you have it your way. FK it lock them all up. we need a machine to do this job not people. The office of president should be automated.
Well, you can impeach. But with 45 or so MAGA Republican senators, you'll never convict.
@@johnbrattan9341 Such is the way of politics. If it were truly a crime or an act egregious enough to actually be worthy of a trial, the Senate would convict regardless of political party.
How did we get here for goodness sake! It's like America has taken 10 steps backwards!
A house bevided can,t stand, thay,ve burnt down the house. 😮😢😢😢
Let's not get reckless yet. The supreme Court just handed us our first presidential King. King Biden. He has been given much power and authority to override and undercut a dictator Trump through the presidential act with immunity. #HailKingBiden ♒♒🪐🪐💜💜
They are setting things up for what they are doing so sad 😢😢
Would this apply to the current president? Could he take out his political opponent and not be held accountable personally?
Yes. The only thing stopping him is his own moral compass.
He's been trying lol
What do you mean "take out" . Assassinate? It would be very difficult to argue that assassinating American citizens and political rivals falls under the purview of an official act consistent with his Constitutional powers.
Not in the constitution, but POTUS can use its justice department to inflict harm.
🤔🕵😁😉
As President...
All acts are official...
Justblike roe v wade, this will energize the Left like never before.
No, it won't.
The country and the world can only hope that is true.
@@thomass5169 of course it will. There's more good people that fk ups. Look what happened to the "red wave " in 2022
Vote the bunch out...and term limits for Supreme Court justices
Mass armed protests are the only way to get change. The corruption of the republican party has gone way to far.
And senators.. founders state these people should serve and return to their normal jobs.. career appointment was not intended
Two points. The dissent written by Sonia Sotomayor and joined by Kagan and Jackson was hysterical and irresponsible. The King of England during the American Revolution was George III who was removed for a time because he was deemed mad. See the movie The Madness of King George. CBS needs better experts.
SOME: not all, and not illegal activities
Jack Smith is not legal appointed. Period........
Justice Sotomayor's eloquent dissent joins Justice Harlan's thunderous long ago dissent in Plessy v Fergurson-Someday ,hopefully soon,her position will be the majority position of the Court.
It's a sad day in America 😔
per this ruling, it is now legal for a President to stay in power as long as they like by simply declaring an official "state of emergency" and this will stay in effect until the House can impeach and remove them from power (unlikely to happen if the same party holds political majority). Now add in "Project 2025" which removes most if not all of the opposition by the justice department and other "non-elected" officials not replaced by political change and instead replacing them with political loyalists.
So now it begins...
It's already been going, now we will be receiving huge mess hand over fist. Drip, drip to wide open and one dam bursting one after the other.
Hahahaha oh yeah it's begun alright. See you in November 😊
No, it began when democrats tried to incarcerate their political opponent
How to become a banana republic. Get the wrong idiots in the right places and there you go.
This country is over
I know ever since Biden stole the election the world has not been the same
If you elect Biden. Then yes. You are correct.
You mean the leftist dystopia is over.
The SC has created a King
Cry more.
When trump asked the VP to overturn the electoral college counting in favor of his selfish wishes, that is not an official duty or request 😡🏌️♂️💨
Prove it was for his own selfish interest. If you can't its conjecture no matter how much you will it to be true.
@@gimpycanuck2all "I" need is 11,880 votes.
That's not a democracy statement.
Give vlad our best 😘
You missed all the proof of FAKE votes!!! Wake up!
More MAGA now then ever !
Wwg1wga
Sotomayor is gaslighting the people!
"C'mon Man"
How about when a president acts zombiely😂😂
We Republicans we gotta take back the warehouse again and we got going to make American great again
Maybe JB can call the SEALS for MAGA and their king?
The King did not have absolute power; absolute power of the King was ruled out by the Magna Carta of 15 Jun 1214 AD: the King is subject to the law, as it applies to him.
Congress needs to write immediately what official actors and send it to the Supreme Court justices. I’m sorry him putting false slates of electors to take my vote away is a criminal act not one word not one conversation not one. Perfect phone call should be immune.
In other word Trump's is Immune have a good day!
#ImpeachSCOTUS the legacy they leave smells rotten
If Trump wins again, let's be real, he will never leave. . .
😂😂😂 just as thee BBB said before right..😂😂
“I don’t wanna scare ya … well, maybe I do ~ “ Robert DeNiro
I wouldn't pare down the charges, more charges, more leeway for the court. Any change would mean you are trying to rush things for the election.
Ssm is talking about the ability of a future president or the current one putting something on the official record that is clearly a crime in order to get away with it. Like neglecting to secure the border in order to skew future elections.
Biden is the only President who has committed a Crime Daily.
The Open Border has put every American citizen in DANGER every day.
The SUPREME COURT JUST GAVE ALLLLL OF AMERICA THE FINGER!!!!
Nope, just you 😂
EXACTLY, but it was the maga bought justices, not all justices
The New York Democratic Party run courts did the same to the leading Republican Party candidate. The courts on all sides have been politicized. Bith Alvin Bragg and Laticia James ran politically motivated trials based on abosolute nonsense. The high courts decision makes it less likely that this type of stupidity will continue. Bragg was extremely creative in truning a misdemeanor into a felony and then getting 36 convictions on a payment that had already passed its statue of limitation.
I bet you had no problem with the NY courts.
Here's a thought: Americans should be held responsible for electing bad leaders?
Yahooooo..Maga 2024 and beyond 🎉🎉🎉
Judges have immunity Congressmen have immunity, so of course Presidents have immunity when acting in their official capacity. It’s common sense.
1. Overturned Roe v. Wade
2. Overturned Chevron
3. Made accepting bribes for official conduct legal as long as the bribe happens after the conduct the bribe is for
4. Presidential immunity
Pure cope
This is absolutely outrageous
No, it's not. It's a normal procedure. The Supreme Court made a ruling. We have followed that ruling since the beginning of our Constitution. If you are against their ruling, then you are against our Constitution. Basically, call yourself an insurrectionist.
It's hilarious, cry more.
So does that mean Biden can tell Kamala to not certify the election and is is an official act not prosecutable.
You are an insurrectionist if you are looking to destroy our constitution.
Vote against Trump
"That was amazingly biased reporting Katrina... Thank you" 😆👎
The level of trying to normalize this court. Our political system is already ruled by Oligarchs (citizens united another great ruling)…why not make corruption legal and people in power even more insulated from law. “A dying empire rule by bad people”
Smith probably stopped by the liquor section of Costco on his way home from work tonight.🤣
this isn't the win the republicans think it is. It's basically say that Biden can now continue suing the States with strict abortion bans.
I 999@@ReasonablySane
Great day today 🎉🎉🎉
And what are those official acts?, who can explain?
Lying about a country having weapons of mass destruction so that we can go to war with that country...is an official act. Presidents have always enjoyed immunity.
Anyone wanting to become a state of the union better think twice about losing their freedoms 🤔
Right line, you are a traitor sir
If they couldn't stop him or anyone in the moment what are these rules except more pressure of individual !
Comon let me do it I know he is😊😊😊😊😊😊
So Biden can jail Trump right now as an official act to protect the public because Trump is threatening. And it would not be prosecutable.
Bahaha Jackie’s case is crumbling
Political Persecution by using the
judicial system is over. 👏👏👏
Jack is illegal appointed.
It isn't about what is the interest that the President is pursuing. The Supreme Court's ruled that the trying court may not inquire into the President's motivation. 'Interest' is another word for 'motivation'. The ruling's operative word was 'official'.
What Constitution is he talking about?, the one in his bible?? 😮
Presumption of immunity ,is that the same as presumption of innocence? No matter: see what Joe can do with that ruling while the world still knows he is president.
Joe, former VP US to it's great shame, has never been, and never will be, president EVER.
He isn't president lol. He's just a puppet. A hollow shell.
Yeah in this country , believe it or NOT , you are presumed innocent until proven guilty unlike what cancel couture Dems do ! Joe Biden president is a fricken bad joke and yes the wold knows it!
The world now knows... he's a vegetable
@@suetempleton5150 He'll be the vegetable President for 4 more years. Trump can't win.
Good luck for a new dictator system 😸😸
The trying court may not enquire into the President's motives. It's just whether the act is official, not what was its motive. The President can consult anyone he likes to choose his motives
Supreme Court has crossed a line. This is why you have to vote Blue for Senate and House up n down the ballot
What happened to the AUDIO? NO SOUND.
Audio is on the right ear piece. Not the left.
Criminals have more rights than the victims. The laws protect the criminals and punish the lawmakers 😡
@AngelRodriguez-zt6nv If the criminals were in jail, where they belonged, there would be no victims. Unfortunately, lawmakers and politicians are causing more victims through their laws. Or the ignorance of the laws.
This Act does not cover #43/44 ‼️ 👀
Could they be any more biased?.
CBS 😢

This hand sign crap has got to stop!! It is a stand by sign!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 pray for us know this is nuts but we will prevail 💙🇱🇷💙
We already have ❤❤❤❤
And that's the wrong flag btw lol
Liberal tears flowing like salt! BWAHAHAHA!
I don't think this has anything to do with being "Liberal" or "this" or "That". This is about a major decision that sets the precedence for ANY president to step outside the bounds of democracy. This isn't about Trump and Biden. This is about the beginnings of a dangerous precedent.
Nope. Biden just got more power.
Sorry! Am Insurrectionist deserves prosecution.
No insurrection! Riot yes and wouldn’t be surprised if Pelosi was in on it !
How come nobody was charged with a insurrection..😅
@patrickh6291 Exactly. It's probable Herbert has been watching and believing the lame stream media too much. He's forgotten how to think for himself
It makes sense. He was the commander in Chief at the time. Kind of a no brainer.
they did turn the office of a president into a king's office because the king can decide that everything he wants can be an official act
Bring in a jury!!!
Bring in the commies, oh your here. 😮
@@Quaferroyep
A jury for what? Do you not understand how the Supreme Court works?
@@Vanessa-ej2fo I don't think she understands anything.
@@Vanessa-ej2fo apparently our higher learning institutions are turning out the most ignorant people ever! They have no idea how any of the government works. If they did they sure wouldn’t advocate for more of it like democrats do !
Don't get your panties in a bunch on Trump's "sweeping claims". It's how you argue in court to get what you can. Duh. i.e. you can't get what you don't ask for.
Just played a previous CBS News video. Now theres NO AUDIO.
On the right ear piece, not the left. Switch your ear bud.
Whether or not people think u are not doing enough or doing too much I sincerely Thank You for your service and all attempts to keep this place together
Trump is much more immunized for black Mamba🐍
Rule of LAW
Wow, such a begrudging and biased piece of reporting. Why does it have to be absouobvious to viewers what side of the issue you are on but your choice of words and tone!
You’ve lost all credibility as a news agency
Cos they're not hiding anymore
So so wrong
We fully support MAGA! The free world desperately needs President Trump back in the White House. Greetings from Germany
New candidates on both sides!! I want to see new candidates speak like Romney v Obama. Clear, concise and considerate policies/criticisms of the opponent/some 40s-50 year old charisma
Mr. President Trump never order anybody to break windows and breaking even he asked Pelosi to call the National Guard and she never did
Right. WHY didn’t Pelosi arrange for the National Guard ?
Exactly
Rome has no kings!
But it does accept emperors.
Roman Catholic Pope IS an actual
Absolute Monarch.
Vote against Trump keep his ace out of the White House.
Voting will have NOTHING to do with keeping Trump out of the White House. Soon it will be GONE, and good riddance to it!
Trump is inevitable. Let's goooooo.
trump no king its only one king and thats jesus period 🇱🇷💙
Let's go Brandon
Dark Brandon … activate!
Dark brandon's diaper activated.
This is not a win for Trump. He's still going to stand trial for J6 and the Documents case.
@@microponics2695 the mic caught trump pooping his at the debate
You’re so funny and clever
They should make trump pay for all of these extra hearings! Just more money out of our pockets!
Right after the Democrats pay back the billion they have wasted on their lawfare BS for past 8 year !
Helping the dictator
The creepy left just got jacked
Wouldn’t it be that anything the president did he or she could call it an official act? Then what? Would it have to go to the Supreme Court to declare whether the act was official or not? I think whether or not we like it we have a king amongst us. We will vote him out, but this will not stop the others that will come in the future. American democracy is over.
America Democracy was never here....we are a Constitutional Republic. Your ignorance shows that your whole comment is insanity.
King's don't have an impeachment process, which America does to remove a president. King's dont have "partial" immunity under certain circumstances in official manners.
Nothing but misleading fearmongering here.
No there’s other laws that’s regulate what the executive branch can do. Otherwise, the president couldn’t make decisions.
You hot your vote and others have their vote DJT 2024
BORAT 2024!!! Might as well because this is Ridiculous!!!
This ruling has made every President King. The Supreme Court ruled to help Trump but this ruling also applies to President Biden. Pres. Biden as of today has a lot more power and he needs to use it.
Absolutely 💯% Yes!!
VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY 💙
Yeah, like a contract for the turds life.
Nope. Biden was pr I vate citizen! Lock him up in LTC! FJB
Exactly, pack the damn courts. It is time to stop playing softball and play hardball. This Supreme Court has gone rogue. There are no more core equal branches. The 6 justices are corrupt as they come. Judge Eileen Cannon in FL is going to throw the case against him out bcz of the Supreme courts ruling. She's already been in his corner. Please vote Blue regardless of your party affiliation. Save Democracy if not for you, but for children and your children's children and their children. We can not let this wannabe dictator get near our Whitehouse ever again.
Biden and his goones at the DOJ and FBI along with Mayorkas have had lots of practice already . They haven’t followed the law since they took office
The replacement theory must speed up to save Americans diversity and freedom 🙏
You are forgetting, Jack was illegally appointed to his position. He won't last much longer.
oh bot.
@@janismodeste any time you hear the truth..., its a bot.
There was no need for any of this until trump came along.
Yeah if only democrats didn’t try everything to “get Trump” shows how scared they are of being exposed for their lawfare !
Yes trump showed us the corruption what was going on. He must be stopped.
You mean there was no need for any of this until the Democrats sought to incarcerate their political opponent
I do not want the Prosecutor to be afraid of pursuing actions that were not in the country’s interests, the bounds need to be explored now.
Trumps Supreme Court has made him a king! Vote friggin blue
Voting Red! Dementia Jose has got to go!
Red all day baby
Blue is how this country gone to hell.
All acts to do with Jan 6th are official acts.
What a great day. What a great week. 😊
Bunch of whiners
Look at Biden, damn
