This dumb wetback bitch is apparently unaware that the President has been openly drone murdering Americans without due process since Saint Obama

Yes. The president would be immune from prosecution. The order would be illegal though, so any person carrying it out would be criminally liable.

Rather than using dumb questions, I suggest she go review the history of the idea of the sovereign and the King'a absolute immunity for acts he himself commits by his own hand.

@Humpleupagus You're assuming that tamale maker even knows how to read

Eso si que es. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@caekislove @Humpleupagus One of the questions invoked the Obama ordered assassinations.

As a Supreme Court Justice, she should know that there are illegal acts for which there are no legal remedies.

The political question doctrine comes to mind, as well as the tax payer standing doctrine.

There may also be situations under the 11th Amendment where a state may violate federal law, but not be subject to federal jurisdiction.

@Humpleupagus dos cervezas por favor

Ask her "can a judge order the sterilization of a child for a malicious reason and in violation of due process and be immune from prosecution?"

The answer is "yes." BTW.

@Humpleupagus @GenesRus @caekislove listening to now and I forgot how jewy she sounds, like rbg resurrected.

@caekislove
I guess she never read Eric Holder's memo.

Sovereign immunity is probably first year law school...

Federal jurisdiction is 2/3L elective though, but you'd think a justice would be familiar. Modern jurisprudence requires that a case be dispensed with on procedural grounds if such infirmities exist. Substantive questions are only to be addressed after jurisdiction is firm. This perseveres substantive questions for future determination in many cases. Without such a rule, courts would quickly take up and decide substantive questions for political purposes and effectively prohibit the evolution of law over time, which would likely lead to the quick collapse of the legal regime (it's going to collapse either way, but it will last much longer with such a rule in place).

@Humpleupagus @sj_zero @GenesRus You seem to know the law pretty well. I wish you were on the Supreme Court instead of these DEI appointees who think that the Bill of Rights was never meant to "hamstring the government".

Yoink

@Humpleupagus @GenesRus @caekislove >just give all the prosecutorial discretion to the justice department
>no we don’t see those drone strike on us cit as a problem

I hope this lispy fag gets tainted aids meds from some based changs.

@sargoysmuck @Humpleupagus @GenesRus Yeah it makes me want to throw up in my pocket every time USA politicians talk about "the rule of law". Oh, like drone striking your own people because you're afraid of jury nullification? Oh, like seizing the assets of every Russian citizen dumb enough to invest in America?

@sargoysmuck @Humpleupagus @GenesRus Not even getting into the sick shit USA "allies" do like sawing off the arms and legs of dissidents and carpet-bombing women and children.

@caekislove @Humpleupagus @GenesRus remember β€œbaki boys” i think is how it’s spelled.

@sargoysmuck @Humpleupagus @GenesRus Yeah, I can't think of a single instance in the 20th/21st century where the USA alliance were the good guys.

@Humpleupagus

The president is basically immune to every federal law except in cases of literal impeachment. And that’s not a criminal trial. It’s essentially an HR incident

@caekislove @GenesRus

@leyonhjelm @Humpleupagus @GenesRus "Should the President be basically immune to every federal law?" was a question the Founding Fathers never conceived of since they went to extreme lengths to limit the actual powers of the President.

@caekislove

The federal government was intended to be neutered and administrative

@Humpleupagus @GenesRus

But not the states actually. The bill of rights only applied against the fed at ratification..

Plus, the president fulfills the exact same roles as king while in office β€” diplomacy, military, execution of laws, and veto power. Thus, it should be presumed that they intended sovereign immunity to apply, as it does against kings, because they would have said otherwise if they wanted a different rule. They were not unaware of existing law.

@Humpleupagus @leyonhjelm @GenesRus Absolutely. The idea was that if people didn't like the laws of their state they could just move. The notion of federal supremacy came much later.

@Humpleupagus @leyonhjelm @GenesRus Quite frankly, it would have been simpler and cleaner if they had just enthroned the Washington Dynasty.

There were no United States Citizens until 14A.

@Humpleupagus @leyonhjelm @GenesRus Yeah, because the Bill of Rights was not a list of rights that citizens enjoyed, but was rather a limitation on the powers of the government.

@Humpleupagus

Right, it wasn’t a random decision to specify federal

@caekislove @GenesRus

@caekislove

Hence β€œrights”. These are specifically there to limit the federal government

@Humpleupagus @GenesRus

@leyonhjelm @Humpleupagus @GenesRus It should have been called "The List of Limitations on Federal Power"

@caekislove

That’s what a bill of rights meant until they skewed the language

@Humpleupagus @GenesRus

@leyonhjelm @Humpleupagus @GenesRus Next time we need to make it more explicit AND also limit everything to Whites.

@caekislove

They will always find a way to ruin it if people tolerate their efforts

@Humpleupagus @GenesRus

@leyonhjelm @Humpleupagus @GenesRus Which is why on top of specific inclusions, we need specific exclusions.
