The Morning Report — 7//2/24

Good Morning Kids. So SCOTUS came out yesterday with the decision that confirms the logical and to the best of my knowledge precedent that presidents do indeed have immunity from prosecution over things they did that fall under the purview of their official acts. Of course the Leftists are in complete freakout mode over this because they have been attempting to railroad Donald Trump as some sort of mad tyrannical dictator in claiming things he did while in office where tyrannical in nature and as such demand his being hung drawn and quartered:

Jonathan Turley nails it:

Indeed, the Democrats have become the very threat that the court was meant to resist.
Recently, senators demanded that Chief Justice John Roberts appear to answer to them for his own decisions. (Roberts wisely declined.)
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer previously declared in front of the Supreme Court, “I want to tell you, [Neil] Gorsuch, I want to tell you, [Brett] Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.”
Now Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced that she will seek the impeachment of all six of the conservative justices. She was immediately joined by other Democratic members.
Notably, scholars have long disagreed where to draw the line on presidential immunity. The court adopted a middle approach that rejected extreme arguments on both sides.
Yet, because Ocasio-Cortez disagrees with their decision, she has declared that this “is an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.”
Previously, Ocasio-Cortez admitted that she does not understand why we even have a Supreme Court. She asked “How much does the current structure benefit us? And I don’t think it does.”
Other members, such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have called for packing the Court with additional members to immediately secure a liberal majority to rule as she desires.
For these pundits and politicians, justice is merely an extension of politics and subject to the whims of the majority. . .
. . . None of these threats or bloviating will work. The court is designed to stand against everyone and everything except for the Constitution. It has been forged for his moment.

Unfortunately like so many others, despite getting it 100% right especially in that first sentence, he does not seem to realize that the Constitution and its underlying principles are no longer respected by a considerable percentage of the populace and at least one of the two main political parties of this nation and too much of the other alleged opposition party that looks the other way. What Democrats cannot control or bend to their will in their sending quest for absolute power is to either be destroyed, or delegitimized. This decision will only add fuel to their fire to fundamentally transform America as founded into yet another failed dystopian nightmare.

OF course, fresh from his disastrous debate performance, Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' handlers thought it was a great idea to shove the corpse in front of a teleprompter to rail against the SCOTUS and rally his base. Cue the lead balloon:

Biden spoke for five minutes, from a teleprompter, on the court finding that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” taken in office. After Biden criticized the decision, calling it a “dangerous precedent,” he quickly left without taking a single question as reporters shouted inquiries his way. . .
. . . “I know I will respect the limits of the presidential powers I have for three and a half years, but any president including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law. I concur with Justice Sotomayor’s dissent today. Here’s what she said: she said ‘in every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law. With fear for our democracy, I dissent.’ End of quote. So should the American people dissent — I dissent,” Biden concluded.

HE's reading his teleprompter cues because he has a cold, right? In any case, let's not start initiating a venturi effect on our nether regions just yet.

Justice Barrett’s comments have created a critical, largely overlooked opening for Democrats and their Special Counsel. Barrett hinted that if prosecutors concentrate exclusively on Trump’s private acts, they might succeed in their legal efforts against him. This insight essentially offers a strategic roadmap for those aiming to hold Trump accountable.
The key question here is this: "When Trump was questioning the accuracy of the vote count, was he doing it in his capacity as the U.S. President or as a candidate running for office?"
The Biden campaign, or whoever his replacement is, can expedite the laser-focused case against Trump the campaigner, while niftily bogging down his campaign to fight the newly invented legal action. This perspective implies that Trump’s remarks and actions on January 6, for instance, might be reclassified as those of a candidate rather than a president, thus stripping him of immunity for those specific actions.
Justice Barrett's suggestion does not merely reflect a hypothetical scenario. It outlines a tangible legal strategy. By urging the Special Counsel to fine-tune their indictments to emphasize unequivocally private conduct, Barrett indirectly points to a way to bypass the delays and complications associated with broader, less distinct charges.
This brings to light the broader issue of how legal interpretations can shift political dynamics. The Supreme Court’s ruling and Barrett’s remarks underscore the delicate balance between legal principles and political maneuvering. It raises questions about the extent to which legal strategies are influenced by the political landscape and vice versa.

How does one get actual originalists on the court who have fealty to the Constitution as written when every aspect of government and of course our academia brainwashing mills from K all the way through post grad and law school are seemingly dedicated to erasing that document and what it stands for from the collective memory.

Well, I suppose half a Solomonic baby is better than nothing.

Naturally, the preservation of "our precious democracy" means that Leftists can openly call for the assassination of Trump and the supreme Court justices either via a military coup or, by whatever means necessary. This is free speech, of course! In Soviet America baby splits itself.

Democrats and the Biden campaign roundly condemned the ruling. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ripped it as a “disgraceful decision by the MAGA SCOTUS,” while Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused the Court of going “rogue.”

“The court did not go with absolute immunity on everything but did say there is absolute immunity when it comes to core constitutional powers.” Turley told America’s Newsroom co-host Dana Perino and guest co-host Bret Baier. “We’re still going through the opinion to see if there is any assistance on where that line is to be drawn. This case is going to have to go back to the district court, which is going to have to try to thread this needle to determine what in the case would not fall under these protections, but this is obviously a win for President Trump in the sense that the special counsel was arguing, as with the lower court, that there was very little immunity here to be concerned with.”

The Court held, according to the summary of the decision: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts. The Court aso ruled that a president is entitled to a pretrial hearing on immunity that can be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court before a trial begins. This means that any trial of the former president will take place after the November 5, 2024, election.

He argued that he is immune from prosecution for his official acts. Schumer led Democrats in expressing outrage at the 6-3 decision, in which the conservative majority was led by Chief Justice John Roberts. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Schumer blamed the three Trump-appointed justices:

22 Johnson vs Mississippi in 1867 decided that president had ministerial and discretionary roles and in both they was a protection afforded by the constitution.

Nixon vs US decided there WAS presidential immunity but in this case there we illegal activities that the people had a right to inspect these illegal activities.

So now I believe what each court must do is review the case to see if PDT was acting as the President. This could get tricky as in the case of GA Election Interference there was maleficence on the eve of the election so he can say as this was a federal election he was executing as the Pres.

They didn't just kick the can down the road, they actively prevented anyone from challenging Biden in the primaries. They were well aware of his condition and that's what they wanted.

It should be pointed out again, and again, and again, that the Democrats WOULD NOT PERMIT anyone to challenge Biden for the nomination. Further, Democrats refuse to deviate from "Biden's" policies. Biden is, for all intents and purposes, a "generic" Democrat. He is who they are.

88 As it happens, I recently read an article about Rocco Petrone, who was in charge of the KSC launch facilities during Apollo. He was famous, or infamous really for being a tough administrator. He expected people giving briefings to know their stuff. Most people agreed what he was looking for was if you were trying to bullshit him. It was OK to say "I don't know", in fact that's what he was looking for in a discussion. He fired someone on the spot during a briefing when the guy started trying to spin something he didn't know about. Lifted him physically off the podium and removed him.

I say all that, because I listened to the Nasa press briefing the other day about the Starliner. It wasn't a press conference, I could only stand to listen for a few minutes, so I'm not sure. But it was a mess. I know things change - but I suspect ole Rocco would not be happy with their answers or briefings.

IF Biden resigns, then Harris becomes President... but no one is agitating for him to resign, merely drop from the race. He's too senile to RUN FOR President but not too senile to BE President.

AFAIK, if he were to drop, she is the only one who can use the campaign cash, but... if he stays on to the convention, gets nominated, nominates a different VP - he won the primaries, she didn't - and then drops, I think the new person could use the cash.

While it has flopped in the US, it has been a hit in the UK, Germany, Holland and Portugal. But there is little chance of a return to America.

250 Carl Bernstein (no friend of Trump) claims Biden White House insiders have told him that the president's visibly ailing health at the first debate Thursday has been seen on numerous occasions in the past 18 months.

Bernstein, 80, is a longtime journalistic icon in Washington, having broken the Watergate scandal that took down Richard Nixon 50 years ago.

While he told Anderson Cooper Biden was 'at his absolute best' during his brief speech in response to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, his advisors and staffers who love and admire the president say 'in the last six months, particularly, there has been a marked incidents of cognitive decline and physical infirmity.'

I agree. This structure was not the one outlined by Article III, and the Supreme Court has been a deleterious influence throughout our history as a result.

But that's where our agreements end. In fact, I propose that, if we're going to have unaccountable, unconstitutional courts anyway, they ought to be revolutionary troikas. And that Ocasio-Cortez ought to be one of the people dragged through the streets and hurled beneath such a troika's pitiless wheels.

Horseshit. This is nameless advisors and staffers trying to make excuses to save themselves after insisting for years Biden was never better.

They hid him as much as possible during the 2020 election and every moment since because anyone actually saw him knew he was already beginning to deteriorate back then.

275 UKDailyMail: Key Democrat donors threaten to pull plug if Biden doesn't resign, as furious party insiders reveal 'worst fears' about ailing president have now been confirmed: 'How stupid do they think we are?'

On Saturday night, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez only further stoked concerns on a conference call with wavering DNC members.

The call was akin to a rah-rah speech,' said John Verdejo, a party member from North Carolina who told the Mail he was surprised when call organizers failed to address the 'elephant in the room', namely Biden's inability to speak clearly.

Other DNC members went even further than Verdejo in their criticisms. Some said that they felt 'gaslighted' by campaign officials on the call who seemed to deny that there was anything to be concerned about. The official Team Biden line appears to be: Nothing to see here.

292 Carl Bernstein (no friend of Trump) claims Biden White House insiders have told him that the president's visibly ailing health at the first debate Thursday has been seen on numerous occasions in the past 18 months.

Nice try, press pig.

Some of us are old enough to remember trunaliminaprazure. We're also old enough to remember the dotard's eye filling up with blood when he had an ischemic stroke during the debates last time.

He's been "visibly ailing" the entire time. We all saw and know. The attempts of the press piggies to palm off their culpability in this miserable failure of a "coverup" are pathetic. Trying to pretend they were all somehow fooled by that tricky White House when nobody else was ain't gonna stick.

But he can't handle in person interviews - questions or press conferences. One of the congress critters suggested he really needs to get out there and show he can do this stuff, and then changed his tune by Sunday - so they know this too.

If the press is out for him, or removes the cloaking device ordinarily employed as a courtesty to democrats, he's fooked.

298 Question for our experts on polling.

The wild card is predicting turnout, and more generally using assumptions based on past experience.

I expect that many who actually voted for Biden in 2020 will pull the lever for Trump this time, but even more will stay home or vote for RFK in protest.

Recall that in 2016 Trump won because he got 5% more of White Non-college to get off their asses and vote.

This could lead to a strong Trump EV performance with down-ticket implications.

This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy,”

Burgum is also an election fraud denier who has made it clear that he believes Biden is the lawful and legitimate President.

“I believe that Joe Biden won the election,” Burgum said to ABC last year.

Burgum was also one of the many Republicans who threw Trump under the bus in 2016 after his controversial “Access Hollywood” recordings were released to the public.

If I were in their shoes, I'd sacrifice this election. The rigging would be even more visible and risible than last time. Let Trump win, and contain him for four years like they did before - it's easy enough. Then ram through Gruesome or Shitbird in 2024.

But this election is lost, it will be on the miserable state of the country, not Brandon's patently obvious infirmity and puppet status. If you're going to do that, and run them *on the exact same platform next time,* you need a convenient excuse for why Brandon lost that isn't his administration's disastrous policies.

Biden has 100% of the regular delegate to the convention. According to DNC rules, they MUST vote for him on the first ballot and their votes are enough to secure the nomination. Could the DNC change the rules? Sure. Then what? A rancorous floor fight and the teams backing whoever doesn't get picked pointing out that the party spit in the faces of every single primary voter after arranging things so that they could only vote for Biden.

Biden is, personally, in no worse position running and losing as he is in standing down. Why would he agree?

383 As Bannon begins his term, 15 cabinet officials in the Biden administration continue to defy congressional subpoenas, and Merrick Garland, the attorney general of the United States, continues to insist he’s above Congress.

On Monday, House Republicans sued Garland, who has refused to turn over the audio recordings of a “confused” President Joe Biden’s interview with Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur about the president’s mishandling of classified documents. Republicans want a federal court to compel Garland to follow their subpoena.

The attorney general effectively told Republicans to go pound sand, citing executive privilege in refusing to release the audio — audio that could be particularly damaging to Biden after his disastrous debate performance last week.

The only way Trump will be allowed to 'win' is if the Deep State wants to either keep alive for four more years the sick joke of free and fair elections, or they wish to blame the coming economic and social collapse on Trump and the GOP.

Trump sealed the borders, lowered unemployment and taxes, increased military strength, attempted to refill the Strategic Reserve and Made America Great Again.

Joe is destroying the economy, jobs, raising taxes, opened the border which leads to more and more rapes and murders on American soil, imprisoned and is actively torturing political dissidents (what happened to dissent being patriotic?), but ISN'T a dictator?

Ah, but not the lo-fos and aligned.

I have a friend who hates Donald Trump. He's not a Biden lover (I don't think anyone is), but he *despises* Trump. All-in on the "he's a fascist" crap and whatnot. He's not even all that ideological, more of a typical revolutionary "burn it down and eat the rich" Millennial type without much if any more thought than that.

He texted me after the debate (which I did not watch, because I had better things to do) in horror. He was devastated and said that he was really disappointed that Trump was going to win.

As I was flipping through articles from last week, I saw that Ace said something along the lines of, "we may have made a mistake by setting the bar for Biden so low that even he could clear it." That may be true among the "right" and among the hardcore partisans, but based on this sole data point, it might not have played well in Peoria. I'm not sure. It likely doesn't matter anyway.

418 Dem Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear being floated as Dem Presidential Candidate. Replacing Joe on the ticket with an unknown, I'm sorry, it's about one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Changing tickets now would insure a trump win. What is driving this. Bots? Possibly putting the bug in the party's ears? I'm here to tell you, this has to stop.

I am wondering if Dem big money donors are pushing for this. if Biden dropped out, would do a lot to motivate independent voters to vote Dem - and would also take some GOP votes from people who don't want Trump. Cognitive issues do not improve over time, There are hundreds of thousands of caregivers in this country who I believe will not be swayed by whatever is being said by anyone as to the future of Joe Biden.

I will yell at you for repeating Republican propaganda. Everybody's a geriatric expert now? we have the Russians, the news, media, talk radio, etc. all repeating Russian propaganda. We don’t need it. And we should never dismiss the millions of people who love Joe Biden and will support him as a successful incumbent president.

435 >>Of course 2020 was stolen. As will 2024. So all this talk about "Trump's race to lose" is just so much bushwah.

Sure. That's why the left is in complete meltdown mode right now and considering how they can possibly get rid of their nominee to be while keeping their hopes alive for 2024.

The left has always cheated. Their party was built on the foundation of Tammany Hall. But they aren't gods, there is only so much cheating that they can get away with. They reached their peak in 2020 and almost tore the country apart.

Biden was losing this election before the debate. He never trailed in the RCP average of polls in 2020. Not one day. He has been behind almost exclusively for months this cycle and now his numbers are in free fall. Just yesterday Trump took the lead in NH and no Republican has won that state in 24 years. And it will only get worse.

Biden is not a realistic candidate for another term. Nobody on the planet believes it and nobody will believe it if they rig an election so big that he wins.

I think there's a possibility of this. It depends on the conditions of the factions, who has what on whom, the risk profile, and who - if anyone - blinks first.

There are upsides to letting Trump waltz back in, some mid-level downsides (taxes, regulation, trade, border, potential SCOTUS action, but only maybe). They can hang the economy on Trump, fire the machinery back up to block him and contain him like last time, get their shit in order, whip the factions into line and unite behind an heir apparent that they then have four years to groom with the election in the bag from the jump in '28. Perhaps equally importantly, it would solve their Biden Problem *and* their Harris Problem in one shot. Plus, it would let them point and shout about how the system works and everything is fair and legal.

I wouldn't discount the possibility out of hand.

Carl Bernstein on CNN right now:

Multiple sources tell him that there have been at least 15 occasions in the last year and a half “where the president has appeared like he did at that horror show (his debate performance).”

Bernstein reports that in the last six months sources have told him that there has been a marked incidence of cognitive decline.
He says that his sources have gone to Ron Klain in the last year to express concern about the President losing his train of thought and not having the ability to pick up where he left off.
Bernstein mentions a fundraiser at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York in June of 2023 where the President became “Very stiff…almost like a kind of rigor mortis.”
Bernstein notes that he has heard from sources that Biden is very sharp in his national security briefings and that he has full command of the facts.

Didn't need to. Corruption and sexual deviance - including "keeping it in the family" and abuses by the patriarchs and patriarchs-in-waiting of the great families - is a common theme throughout the history of aristocracy.

The Bidens are aristocrats. So are the Obamas, Bushes, Clintons, etc. The Bidens are just stupider and sloppier than most, and don't have the good taste to keep it all from leaking out.

Throw a dart in Washington DC and look into it closely enough with enough access, and you'll probably find that whoever you hit, his or life looks a lot like "Game of Thrones" - or the Biden Family - behind the scenes. From the lowliest aspirational courtiers straight up through to the dukes, barons, princes and kings.

I'm not. Powerful tech people are extremely crazy and evil, but they have a tendency to not be stupid. One of the major factors in that is the relative youth of the industry. The rulers came up, by and large, on merit from when High Tech was very much a quick-or-dead business. The next generation of rulers will be different, but not today (for the most part).

Because they're not stupid, they know that their megalomaniacal fever dreams of total control depend on three things: money, intelligence (in the state sense - spies and data sets and analysis) and energy. They have the first. They're building the second, and the second depends on the third.

To achieve their dreams, they need unthinkable amounts of stable, reliable power to feed the machinery of control that they're building. They know it because they're smart and they don't care about the laughable contradiction in their positions because they're both dishonest and pragmatic.

If they nuke plants to feed the machine, they'll build the nuke plants. Simple as that.

Not sure why I did but I exposed myself to CNN and MSNBC last night for around 40 minutes… Kaitlin Jennings on CNN and Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. It’s been years…. My takeaway: These are broken and angry people…. You could almost see the foaming at the mouth over a pretty straightforward immunity decision.

I’ve concluded Trump has to not only win but win in a landslide to shut these people up and calm them down. If the election is fair Trump could win a 1980 Reagan type landslide (with RFK Jr playing the role of John Anderson)…. Say 50-42-8. If Trump barely squeaks by there will be bedlam. If he loses then we’re screwed

558 What bothers me most about the Jack Smith case is how much it infringes on basic free speech --forget about immunity. The news accounts of the recent SCOTUS decision are now about Judge Chutkan will now have to "review" Trumps speeches, his Tweets, conversations with the State Sec States etc "in light of the Court's decision" as to whether it fits into x, y or z categories of Presidential Acts.

Really? A Judge reviewing any person, let alone President's speeches, phone conversations and tweets is a week-old mackerel level stinking violation of any concept of free speech for any supposedly free person.

People are herd animals. Most "programming" is based on this simple concept, for a start. It gets complicated, but that's a start. That's why everything is infantalized now in the public sphere.

599 My sense of things is that the Deep State is fracturing. It's always had factions, they usually just stayed below the surface, with some leader (who may or may not have been President, depending on party and the individual) to give direction and some unity. Now, however, with it being increasingly obvious to most that Biden is and has been a non-entity, there is no one hand to guide the herd, just a squabbling Politburo that works at cross purposes as often as not...and more and more people see them for what they are, and they can't co-ordinate to save themselves, though they can still do a hell of a lot of damage.

This creates an opening. Whether it can be exploited or not...we will see.

Joe Biden was the worst possible thing to happen to the Deep State. Strange but true.

Ain't it the truth. People are so dug in and basically ignorant of the state of the country.

If Trump wins the presidency, I'm praying that he has the guts, power, and staff to follow through and communicate the hard choices he has to make with respect to deficit spending. All options left on the table involve huge reductions in the federal government as well as higher taxes at the high end of income. That means high unemployment which legacy media will pounce on.

We need to fund our military (not fund it by deficit spending), gut the federal agencies and delegate such functions to individual states, reduce the tax code to a handful of tax brackets eliminating loopholes at the very high end of income.

It's either painful restructuring, or within a decade economic freefall that makes the Weimar Republic or the Great Depression look tame. Our kids deserve better.

"Yet, because Ocasio-Cortez disagrees with their decision, she has declared that this “is an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.”

One that needs to be very careful she's working within the scope of her official duties. Congressional Privileges and Immunities: The Constitution specifically protects members of Congress against interference with their deliberative function, and are contained in the first clause of Article I, section 6, of the Constitution. A common "interpretation" as posted on the website for The National Constitution Center, is as follows:
Article I, Section 6 also says that Senators and Representatives shall not be questioned in court or by the President for any speech or debate they give or participate in on the floor of the Senate or the House. This assures ample freedom of debate in Congress.

However, Hutchinson v. Proxmire, 443 U.S. 111 (1979) was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that statements made by a Senator in newsletters and press releases were not protected by the Speech or Debate Clause.

605 >(DOJ's) Justice Manual, Civil Resource Manual, (section) 33. Immunity of Government Officers Sued as Individuals for Official Acts

In part, The general rule at common law was that in order for a government official to be protected by absolute immunity for common law torts, not only did the official have to be acting within the outer perimeter of his/her official duties, but the conduct at issue also had to be discretionary in nature. Westfall v. Irwin, 484 U.S. 292, 297-298 (198

. In enacting the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1988 (FELRTCA), Congress abrogated this common law rule and extended absolute immunity for common law torts to all federal employees regardless of whether the conduct at issue was discretionary. ...

However, the immunity conferred by FELRTCA does not extend or apply to suits against federal employees for violation of the Constitution or federal statutes. Thus, government officials sued for constitutional torts continue to be protected only by qualified immunity.

608 The key question here is this: "When Trump was questioning the accuracy of the vote count, was he doing it in his capacity as the U.S. President or as a candidate running for office?"

The only way to answer this is to examine Trump's motives. But Roberts's opinion-in-chief expressly holds that the courts - when deciding the official-vs-unofficial issue, may NOT consider motivation.

Barrett is (apparently) desperate to prove herself not beholden to Trump for her life-time appointment. She is only hurting herself, and doing nothing to advance the cause of the Republic.
