      The Supreme Court just granted immunity to President Biden, so he can send him and the other traitors to Guantanamo without fear of legal repercussions. Of course not, nothing’s going to happen.

        This seems to be a common misconception.

        The Supreme Court did not give Biden immunity. They gave the president immunity for carrying out official acts. Who determines what an official act is? The Supreme Court.

        Biden doesn’t have immunity. I’d argue he doesn’t have immunity as president, either.

          That’s the thing about this though. I’d like to see them try to prevent that from within Guantanamo. It’s not legal neither moral, yet it can’t be stopped using the law.

          True, but Republicans seem to have taken the position that you can do whatever you want while the consequences work their way through the courts.

          Kind of hard to rule from a jail cell, and I’m guessing that he’d have died of old age by the time something like this was ruled on, regardless. I say, go out with a legacy of giving the court (and the GOP) what they deserve.
