If trump is the only person in America who the supremes made immune to criminal prosecution, but everyone around him, working for him, or associated with him is not immune from prosecution of crimes…then does that mean if trump as president orders anyone around or under him to help him do something criminal for which they can be held accountable, does that give anyone not named trump the ability to refuse the orders of the “commander in chief”? And does that not render him useless? Can prosecutors right now go after everyone involved in trumps current criminal indictments?
In dictator ruled countries they would no longer exist - because they would be considered a threat to power. Putin has assassinated his enemies. The Saudi crown prince assassinated a threat to him. Kim of N. Korea has assassinated members of his own family. This SCOTUS is a disgrace and has opened the door to any rogue president to do the same without impunity.
There won't be anymore Supreme Court if Trump get voted in. They can kiss their position and their jobs gone. Because if Trump won he would become a want to be dictator and have control over all ruling and orders. They would no longer be needed.
POTUS' oath of office requires him to uphold the laws. No need to utilize immunity if you follow the laws of USA. If POTUS can't follow the laws, remove him from the office.
That level of immunity is unconstitutional in all its totality. The justices allowed personal bias to tailor craft a ruling based on their favored candidate. What terrible abuse!

It's time to amend the Constitution to: 1) explicitly state that the president does not have absolute immunity for breaking the law while in office, 2) term-limit all justices of the supreme court to 18 years on the bench, 3) make supreme court justices conform to a code of conduct as all article III judges, and 4) create a commission made-up of senior federal judges with the authority to sanction any article III justice or judge who violates the code of conduct.
This is totally disturbing that a president can get away with breaking the law and just say it's official act. We can no longer say no one is above the law.
They are FULLY DEDICATED and have been working to enact a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION to rewrite the US Constitution, look it up. THAT is the END GAME HERE.

First of all, these Justices do not despise the people or the Constitution. And secondly, you should re-think what you are asking for here. You would wind up with a patchwork of contradictory precedent across the land.
@@picdubois4620 A patchwork of contradictory precedent across the land - that's a really good description of what we currently have in the US since the SC struck down Roe V Wade. Women have rights in one state which are denied to them in the very next state. In some red states they are even denied the right to travel to another state and anyone who gives them a lift to another state is liable to prosecution if it is to obtain an abortion. The right to travel!! Which has always been taken for granted by everyone and rightly so. That is how much these Justices despise the people and the Constitution.
So many intelligent and experienced people needed to counter the ridiculous actions of an unhinged man and his very foolish supporters. Thank you for your lifetime of commitment to justice and patriotism.
Supreme Court counsel and judge Cannon should be disbarred and remove the immunity issue, no one is above the law. This is crazy Trump committed to many crimes against America, he needs to be punished.
That court has no right to make that ruling. I am one of the people, and this court shows no respect and must be removed. DUMP THIS COURT! So, it comes down to can we fix this?
tRump only has to claim whatever he does was an “official “ act and the depraved MAGA cult at every level of government will trip over one another to give him their seal of approval!
Thank you all for a great discussion, and Judge Luttig, that "writing for the ages" comment caught my ear too ... remarkable hubris. As an artist, I never stand before a blank canvas and say: "This will be a masterpiece." My strolls into and out of excellence have taught me more humility, not less. For the ages? Hopefully not many, and as an embarrassment.

Dred Scott is a parlor game compared to Trump v. United States. I've got to ask you, Neal, how could you possibly have ANY respect for Roberts, never mind "a great deal of respect" for him? He plainly lied during his confirmation when he stated under oath that "no man is above the law, not even the president." He also lied about precedent, he lied about judicial restraint, and he lied with that BS "I'm just an umpire." Judge Luttig is right, the decision is unconstitutional. Not even mentioned is the fact that by this ruling, the Supreme Court has invalidated the impeachment clause. They have just immunized the president of the United States against "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

I agree with Judge Luttig completely! As a functioning democracy it seems outlandish that 9 people (actually 5) can make rules that everyone has to follow. It's not only anti-democratic, it ridiculous!
Excellent discussion! Thank you Neil Katyal & Judge Littig for your service to our nation, and for your expert opinions in this critical ruling by Supreme Court.
thank you, thank you, thank yuu for bringing this to the American people and forcing us to LOOK AT IT. . May we be brave enough to insist on an immediate remedy and may we be wise enough as a country to provide the tools to correct the wrong direction of this despicable Roberts court..
Yes, your honor, you speak the truth. The majority decided the outcome and then tortured the law, ignored the facts of the case before them, and fantasized about unlikely future scenarios. Terrible practice for any lawyer or judge.
Then vote. SCROTUS is literally on the ballot in November. If you don't vote 💙 In November snd take 3 non-voters with you, you will never be able to vote again for anything on any level.
In the presence of a crime, there is no distinction between "Official Acts" & "Unofficial Acts"..... It was a piece of silliness the way the Court ruled. "Staging a coup" is a crime, there is no way around that and there is no way defend that as an "Official Act".
Thanks so very much for an illuminating conversation. Just love this podcast and will support you as much as possible ❤ Finally, clarity and elucidation. Míle buíochas.
It can be rejected. Would be illegal, but Biden can now pardon everyone who violates the law. The justices can be impeached, although not for treason. Biden could also take official actions that would removed them from their office in one way or another. Also illegal, but as it is an official act it’s now possible to do so for Biden without any consequences for him.
Their coconspirators in the House and Senate would block impeachment. If there is sufficient evidence, like their unconstitutional rulings, they could be charged with a conspiracy against the United States.
President Biden should use the immunity decision to bar all convicted felons from holding office under the Fourteenth Amendment, section 2.

First of all, these Justices do not despise the people or the Constitution. And secondly, you should re-think what you are asking for here. You would wind up with a patchwork of contradictory precedent across the land.
@@picdubois4620 A patchwork of contradictory precedent across the land - that's a really good description of what we currently have in the US since the SC struck down Roe V Wade. Women have rights in one state which are denied to them in the very next state. In some red states they are even denied the right to travel to another state and anyone who gives them a lift to another state is liable to prosecution if it is to obtain an abortion. The right to travel!! Which has always been taken for granted by everyone and rightly so. That is how much these Justices despise the people and the Constitution.
So many intelligent and experienced people needed to counter the ridiculous actions of an unhinged man and his very foolish supporters. Thank you for your lifetime of commitment to justice and patriotism.
THANK YOU for holding the light and shining it in the darkness. I appreciate Neal and Michael, two of my favorite intellectuals. Great Minds!
We All Must Work Together To Prevent This Nation from being ruled by someone desiring and/or thinking they are a dictator!
Supreme Court counsel and judge Cannon should be disbarred and remove the immunity issue, no one is above the law.
This is crazy Trump committed to many crimes against America, he needs to be punished.
That court has no right to make that ruling. I am one of the people, and this court shows no respect and must be removed. DUMP THIS COURT! So, it comes down to can we fix this?
SCOTUS has thrown down the gauntlet of revolution.
They've sure put the rubber stamp of approval on it.
tRump only has to claim whatever he does was an “official “ act and the depraved MAGA cult at every level of government will trip over one another to give him their seal of approval!
Thank you all for a great discussion, and Judge Luttig, that "writing for the ages" comment caught my ear too ... remarkable hubris. As an artist, I never stand before a blank canvas and say: "This will be a masterpiece." My strolls into and out of excellence have taught me more humility, not less. For the ages? Hopefully not many, and as an embarrassment.
"It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error."

(Communications Association v. Douds, May 1950)
So why a gazillion lawyer's?
In America it's the reverse. 😢
Law's are only viable, if enforced equally.
Than you please continue to speak up to save our constitution and country ❤
Add 5 judges before Trump can have the possibility. We are wasting time.
@@JohnDanenbarger yes! We have wasted so much time… Exactly exactly what Trump wanted!
@@eleanorwittering3126
Mr. High Power Rifle & Mrs. Sniper would like to have a meeting with the SC justices & Mr. Trump.
Adding justices is not the answer. Not being a weak President and understanding and enforcing the dictates and power of the Constitution would.
We sure are wasting time. In President Biden has the power and the authority right now to put more justices on the supreme Court. But will you do it it's our job to rally around our new king.#HailKingBiden ♒♒🪐🪐💜💜
Should have already been done.
Dred Scott is a parlor game compared to Trump v. United States. I've got to ask you, Neal, how could you possibly have ANY respect for Roberts, never mind "a great deal of respect" for him? He plainly lied during his confirmation when he stated under oath that "no man is above the law, not even the president." He also lied about precedent, he lied about judicial restraint, and he lied with that BS "I'm just an umpire." Judge Luttig is right, the decision is unconstitutional. Not even mentioned is the fact that by this ruling, the Supreme Court has invalidated the impeachment clause. They have just immunized the president of the United States against "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
We are with you Thank you 🇱🇷💙🇱🇷💙💯💯💯
Judge letting sir... and Niel...pls..please don't give up...I listen to all your media input as well as CNN and MSNBC...please keep fighting the scotus with all u got and then some...u guys are the best to save Amricans and Canada🎉🎉❤❤
I'm counting on you to hold them all accountable for there actions...praying tons!❤❤❤
Thank you for bringing some sanity to what is truly insane these days in politics. Judge Luttig is a prize to all Americans.
Injustice Cannon !!!
We the Jury demand that we know all the evidence. This is our America, our vote needs to be unblindfolded.
So enlightening to listen to these wonderful scholars and constitutional experts. I fear for America.
Katyal is a class A joke and the other an "expert"? Wow, what a load! Your ignorance of law and history is telling.
@@TheRealResume
Go and take care of your own problems Putin.
Americans are talking.
Persons convicted of felonies should be barred from running for president or any public office!
We are waiting for the 16th of September for frump to be sentenced for his 34 felonies! He should be sentenced to 20 years in max prison!
He's such a narcissist he should get a reality check. A long prison sentence!
How has one "man" been allowed to cause us so much grief!?
We are sick of it!
You can't fight evil with logic.
You can fight evil with logic.
Yes! Thank you both for your service to America and our democracy
If everything a president does is an official act then he is a king.
Yes because the supreme Court gave us our first king. King Biden. And asking he could strip any immunity from Trump right now. Disembowel heritage foundation. Reinstate voting rights. Pack the court.. #HailKingBiden ♒♒🪐🪐💜💜
Exactly what they want: King Trump.
@@dannywha8670 Hopefully President Biden will make sure Traitor Insurrectionist Trump Walks the Plank before November 5 2024 Potus Election to SAVE The United States Constitution, The United States Constitutional Republic and The Rule of Law from Domestic Enemy/Terrorist Trump and Terrorist Trump's Terrorist Co Conspirators.
🦈🇺🇲⚖️🇺🇲🦈
@@Soapandwater6I’d say exactly what they NEED. 45’s racking up suits n judgements he NEEDS to get out from under. Any president NEEDING presidential immunity has lots to hide…enough that they’ll entirely upend constitution and rule of law!
Thanks these insights are very helpful. There is hope for the rule of law to be preserved in spite of the Supreme Court..
The Federalist Society feels compelled to protect Trump at great expense to the nation.
The Federalist Society is really the Royalist Society. Pretty clear that they want king to rule the US.
All six have ties to them going back decades. Mitch said he got the list of candidates from the federalist society. Wanted them
Young so they could influence decades decisions for the ultra right. Vile.
At the destruction of the nation.
Nah the Federalist Society wants to retain power for all times. It goes way beyond Orange
I agree with Judge Luttig completely! As a functioning democracy it seems outlandish that 9 people (actually 5) can make rules that everyone has to follow. It's not only anti-democratic, it ridiculous!
The DOJ needs more Jack Smith's and less Jackoffs.
We have enough lawyers who engage in fraud on the court. Don't need more.
Excellent discussion! Thank you Neil Katyal & Judge Littig for your service to our nation, and for your expert opinions in this critical ruling by Supreme Court.
Another know-nothing - man alive - ZERO critical thinking skills and reading needed to understand the topic. Pathetic.
thank you, thank you, thank yuu for bringing this to the American people and forcing us to LOOK AT IT. . May we be brave enough to insist on an immediate remedy and may we be wise enough as a country to provide the tools to correct the wrong direction of this despicable Roberts court..
Thank you gentlemen. Heaven help us.
Yes, your honor, you speak the truth. The majority decided the outcome and then tortured the law, ignored the facts of the case before them, and fantasized about unlikely future scenarios. Terrible practice for any lawyer or judge.
Thank you for your learned commentary.
Please help me understand how we can dismiss this ruling. It must be overturned. We The People do not accept this!
Then vote. SCROTUS is literally on the ballot in November.
If you don't vote 💙 In November snd take 3 non-voters with you, you will never be able to vote again for anything on any level.
New Justices
Vote blue all the way down the ticket.
Excellent discussion panel.
If insurrection has been deemed an official act by a president, what is the fate of the election process at all?
Too bad you weren't there on J6 and did not witness what really went on. Really stupid!
I love listening to Neal and Judge Luttig ❤. Thank you for calling out this nonsense ❤
In the presence of a crime, there is no distinction between "Official Acts" & "Unofficial Acts"..... It was a piece of silliness the way the Court ruled. "Staging a coup" is a crime, there is no way around that and there is no way defend that as an "Official Act".
Thanks so very much for an illuminating conversation. Just love this podcast and will support you as much as possible ❤ Finally, clarity and elucidation. Míle buíochas.
Can this new power be totally reject by the justice department. Can the Supreme Court justices be impeached for treason?
It can be rejected. Would be illegal, but Biden can now pardon everyone who violates the law.
The justices can be impeached, although not for treason. Biden could also take official actions that would removed them from their office in one way or another. Also illegal, but as it is an official act it’s now possible to do so for Biden without any consequences for him.
Rejected by DOJ? Wow, that's ignorance on display!
Their coconspirators in the House and Senate would block impeachment. If there is sufficient evidence, like their unconstitutional rulings, they could be charged with a conspiracy against the United States.
Anything can happen at this point.
We need the Democrats to hold the Presidency, House, and Senate tho.
Remember the GOP is okay with the court. Vote them all out. We have to vote and fight for our democracy. 💙💙💙
Pfft - a stunning know-nothing. "fight for OUR democracy" - there it is, the tyrants have spoken!
No one is stating what is underlying this....this is COUP!
A slow-moving coup.
Since Reagan
Thank god there are Grown ups in the room 🎉 👠💙👠💙👠💙
Absolutely. These experts should be getting much greater visibility, especially now, when the outcomes are so vital!
The American people have the need and the right to see all the evidence before another election
An outstanding report! 👍
You've got that right! Right is right! Wrong is wrong!! 😡
We need a new justices that will help people and country….please Vote Blue 💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Fantastic explanation! Thank you! Save the USA!
