Something I pondered at 3:00 a.m.

Now that the Supremes have granted him immunity while President, is there no such thing as impeachment any more?

1. Edit: impeachment is political

So … probably not soon.

4. Wrong. Immunity refers only to criminal prosecution.

Congress can still remove a president from office.

2. Only arterial plaque can impeach him now. At least until we take back the House and Senate in 2026.

3. That doesn't change. Immunity relates only to being prosecuted for crimes.

Impeachment is about a president getting fired from his job. A president can have committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" for which he can't be criminally prosecuted but that still mean he can be removed from office. Two entirely different things.

5. In reality no one will dare go after Trump now.

Too dangerous.

6. SCOTUS (R) is invalidating law and Constitution

Voting Rights Act on the way almost done. Check. 14A Sec 3, complete. Immunity? If you say it's official, you're good to go. WHich sort of make 5A irrelevant for presidents. Impeachment of president? Who would touch it? What's to gain? It's as worthless as censure.

7. And they were trying to impeach Joe for something he did while he was vice president or private citizen

We know Trump has committed high crimes and misdemeanors because he’s been convicted in court. I guess that I don’t cut no ice.

8. Guess not

Started with Ford pardoning Nixon.🤬
