Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) identified that the conservative Supreme Court docket majority gave President Biden immunity to make use of the army to take them out.
Rep. Lofgren mentioned on MSNBC’s Deadline: White Home:
Properly, he’s been very open about what he intends to do and that’s retribution. He himself mentioned final December, he intends to terminate components of the structure. Uh He didn’t say which components, however apparently the courtroom goes to provide him big selection to terminate no matter he desires.
, he summoned a mob to Washington understanding they had been armed, he despatched them to the Capitol to try to forestall the peaceable switch of energy if that’s okay. We’ve obtained an issue on this nation, and definitely within the debate the opposite night time, he wouldn’t decide to accepting the election outcomes this November until he gained.
So we’ve obtained an issue right here if, if he can’t be accountable, if any president can’t be held accountable below the legal guidelines that exist, that’s a whole departure from our historical past, I assume, you recognize, theoretically, President Biden, appearing inside the scope of his official duties might dispatch the army to take out the conservative justices on the courtroom and he’d be immune.

That’s the true farce of the conservative Supreme Court docket majority’s choice. A president might have Congress and the Supreme Court docket rounded up by the army and executed and in line with the courtroom’s choice, that president could be immune from prosecution.
This ruling ends all accountability for doubtlessly lawless presidents. As an alternative of celebrating, as Rep. Lofgren factors out, Republicans must be horrified as a result of this new immunity applies to each Democratic and Republican presidents.
