The left is determined to completely misunderstand this ruling. SCOTUS made no ruling that the president can do whatever he wants, call it an official act and it’s “okay.” They said that presidents are entitled to presumptive immunity from PROSECUTION for official acts. What constitutes an official act is a complex question, but is basically actions taken pursuant to their constitutional and statutory authority, not whatever whim they might have.
So no, Biden couldn’t legally arrest and put Trump in jail, he doesn’t have the Constitutional power for that. The government would need to bring actual charges and have a jury find Trump guilty in court, nothing the SCOTUS ruled changes any of this. The only thing this decision might change is if Biden did try to illegally arrest and jail opponents, could he himself be prosecuted for that? He could try to claim it was an official act, but that would be tough to convince a judge of, certainly no guarantee of immunity.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
