In a scathing dissent of the ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the protection afforded presidents by the court "is just as bad as it sounds, and it is baseless.”

    Uh. Wow. So now Trump got things both ways…

    “He didn’t get away with anything yet. Yet. We have a criminal justice system in this country, we have civil litigation and former presidents are not immune from being [held] accountable by either one,” - Senator McConnell, 13 Feb 2021.

    Guess what, McConnell, the US doesn’t have a functional criminal justice system federally, and that is very much thanks to you and your corrupt Supreme Court picks, appointing delays and antics.

      McConnell is the only conservative ghoul I want to see live a very long life, because for all his flaws I know he hates Trump and what Trump stands for as much as anybody and I want to watch him realize what he’s done.
