Oh, the POTUS ordered the military to commit war crimes? Immunity! That was an official act.

 

“The President Is Now a King”: The Most Blistering Lines From Dissents in the Trump Immunity Case

"If the Congress fails to impeach a President as a political act, he can still be prosecuted for his actions."

No longer.

 

Rapist pig fraud elected President, appoints THREE justices.

Is this a great country, or what?

 

It was already a partisan institution. Since it is that way, you’ve got to fight fire with fire. This GOP supermajority will continue to steamroll Democrats.

 

I have no doubt Trump would ignore a Supreme Court ruling if he didn’t like a ruling. He would ask how many divisions the court has.

 

Student loans. The Supreme Court ruled Biden couldn't do it without Congress, and he's kept trying to do it anyway with several different end arounds. But because it's something his supporters favor, and not necessarily something that's a life and death decision for the republic (other than perhaps financially), the dangerous precedent it set in regards to the president taking that level of power and ignoring court decisions has been hand-waved away.
For the same reason, I'm not a fan of this decision in Trump's favor. I think it sets a bad precedent that will almost certainly be misinterpreted by a bad actor somewhere down the line.

That's sort of what the Chevron deference case — and a number of this court's recent cases that were 6-3 "conservative" decisions — have been about as well. They've largely been about scaling back unchecked governmental power and mislabeled as being anti-whatever the specifics of the case are.
In the Chevron case, these various agencies were passing onerous regulations without oversight, and then acting as police, judge and executioner for anyone who tried to challenge them. For every concern about the ruling leading to a wave of three-eyed fish appearing in rivers, the agencies were passing obscure rules with the force of law telling people they had to treat a small drainage ditch on private property as a navigable waterway.
The Supreme Court was telling Congress to get off their ass and pass specific laws if they want certain regulations, rather than passing off that authority to those unelected and unaccountable agencies who were infringing on personal freedoms and property rights, among other things.

 

Police say a Florida man is no longer facing charges of insurrection, incitement, theft of highly classified materials and witness tampering because he used to be president.

 

Irony intended?

 

So it's OK to nuke one of the three independent branches of government as long as your side gets what it wants?
Did you feel that way when past courts had a liberal majority?

 

That's not what the Supreme Court ruled.

As I read it, they said the Secretary acted too broadly. That's why these numerous rounds of debt forgiveness each have been more specifically targeted.

But by all means: If someone thinks the Department of Education is now operating in violation of this ruling, they should take the matter up in the courts.
