*The long-term consequences of today’s decision are stark. The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the Founding. The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution.Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune.Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune.Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today."* John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> dts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
