Today's decision by the Democrat-controlled DC Circuit Court of Appeals is as predictable as it is wrong.
Members of Congress are immune, both civilly and criminally, for their officials acts.
So are federal judges.
Why wouldn't the President of the United States--any President?
Four DC federal judges did not even establish at a baseline level that the President of the United States cannot be thrown in prison by his successor based upon his official acts.
They ignored the Constitution's separation of powers.
Thus, the Supreme Court must take and decide this case.
This case is much bigger than Trump.
This precedent is very dangerous and highly destructive to the presidency--thus, our Constitution and country.
This means the Trump 47 Justice Department can prosecute Obama--along with his aides like U.S. Circuit Judge David Barron, Obama's legal advisor at the time--for capital murder for their extrajudicial drone-striking of American citizens (including a minor).
This also means the Trump 47 Justice Department can prosecute Biden for his illegal release of dangerous migrants into the United States and the natural and probable crimes they commit.
(So they can ignore their ruling to protect Obama and Biden.)
If the Supreme Court wants the federal judiciary to keep any legitimacy with half of the American people, it must do its job and fix this dangerously wrong ruling.
"The Biden administration’s effort to establish itself as a committed champion of press freedom is facing new doubts because of the Justice Department’s aggressive legal tactics against a conservative provocateur known for his hidden-camera video stings."
"A predawn FBI raid last weekend against Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe and similar raids on some of his associates are prompting alarm from some First Amendment advocates, who contend that prosecutors appear to have run roughshod over Justice Department media policies and a federal law protecting journalists."
ICYMI from @JamesRosenTV in @NYTimes on December 30, 2016:
"Over the past eight years, the [Obama] administration has prosecuted nine cases involving whistle-blowers and leakers, compared with only three by all previous administrations combined."
The Obama Administration "has repeatedly used the Espionage Act, a relic of World War I-era red-baiting, not to prosecute spies but to go after government officials who talked to journalists."
"Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases."
“Footage showed several women stripped of their clothing. One video showed a woman, her hands zip-tied behind her back, with blood on the crotch of her pants.” washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/…
“Later came testimony from witnesses and first responders. One witness described in graphic detail a gang rape at the Nova rave site near Re’im. An Israeli reserve combat paramedic told The Post that he found the bodies of teenage girls with signs of sexual assault.”
“Combatants from Gaza overran 22 Israeli communities, killed at least 1,200 and took 240 hostage in the surprise attack. But their greater goal, sexual trauma specialists say, was to introduce terror against women — and children and other unarmed civilians — as a means of spreading fear.”
2 Obama judges and a Biden judge on the DC federal appellate court just put a temporary pause on Biden special counsel Jack Smith and DC Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan's blatantly unconstitutional gag order on Trump.
Just to keep your expectations in line, this is merely a temporary tactical retreat by the Marxists:
