Trump seeks presidential immunity from any civil lawsuit filed against him in state court
a year ago by MicroWave to c/politics
Summary
Donald Trump is seeking "temporary presidential immunity" to delay or dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in Delaware by co-founders of Trump Media & Technology Group, who accuse him of blocking their full stake in the company.
Trump argues that defending lawsuits during his presidency would distract from his official duties, citing the burden of managing numerous pending cases.
His legal team claims state court lawsuits undermine the presidency.
This effort follows broader Supreme Court rulings expanding presidential immunity, though critics cite concerns over accountability.
I heard cons saying that biden pardoning his family was an admission of guilt and while I don't approve of the move I get it considering the language put forth and the branches of government that are backing him
He also pardoned Fauci and a bunch of other people because the republicans specifically said they were going to try to get revenge against them for things like prosecuting Jan. 6 rioters.
It was a rare moment where the Democrats actually acknowledged that maybe the Republicans aren’t acting in good faith and maybe don’t care about “decorum”. About several decades too late but whatever, it’s what happened.
Trump seeks federal law overriding state's rights?
I feel like I've heard a complaint or two about this before...but from where?
I mean, it was a declaration that the colonies were going independent. You don’t right laws in a what amounts to a strongly worded letter.
The constitution is the legal document that setup the laws of the United States.
So; when do you states plan on your next civil war?
We'll come help you burn the white house down again. :) 🇨🇦
I wish, but no. It's going to be fascism and "principled" and meaningless #resitance
Just swap working on this for your golf time.
Problem solved 🤝
Whoa whoa whoa, it's not like he has a peanut farm or something
His legal team claims state court lawsuits undermine the presidency.
Oh no! It could cut into his golfing time!
Congrats to the US of A on becoming the newest monarchy!
Monarchy or dicatorship... is there much difference between the two tho?
Yes there is. Or there can be. A monarchy doesn't automatically mean the King/Queen actually has power.
The Netherlands, for example, is a monarchy, but is a parliamentary representative democracy. I think monarchies are ridiculous, we should just get rid of it. But you definitely can't call Willem-Alexander a dictator.
Indeed. European monarchies are like this. The monarch has no real power, they can only sign the laws passed by the parliament. It's basically like a president of the republic in countries like Italy. Except you can't vote to choose a new one.
Turd's model of monarchy is akin to those absolutists we remember before France invented their well known and completely democratic way of unelecting a king.
citing the burdon of managing numerous pending cases.
It's so easy to not have numerous pending cases against you in the first place. I want nothing more than for this dipshit to be stuck in court defending every one of his illegal actions taken the last 55 years. Couldn't happen to a better person.
Temporary.
lol.
Everyone is going to buy it too.
lawsuits during his presidency would distract from his official duties
that is covfefe, golfing and making ai slop executive orders?
Meh... It's too much. The storm of obsene dystopian shit is just overwhelming. Wake me up when he's Supreme Leader for life,
Jesus, look at the language in those quotes. Even trump's legal briefs felate him.
Looks like someone needs to take up the mantle of the world's sexiest man alive, User4616250, after he gets out of office either by force or otherwise.
That state of affairs -- President Jefferson's nightmare -- dishonors the the Presidency and debases the state courts that purport to control his actions,"
That ship fucking sailed under George w bush, that shit was set on fire with the first 4 years of trump
There is no honor to be found in this presidency anymore, not for the next 8 years

This dude basically got no punishment and yet still wants to not have to face consequences. He’s got a CVS reciept of felonies and was completely let go of any punishment from the last thing and he’s still mad?
Exhausting, and imagine if a Democrat did this shit.
