CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 8, 2024
CASES CAN BE MADE THAT NO PRESIDENT IS BEYOND THE LAW WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BELIEVING THAT NO FORMER PRESIDENT SHOULD BE TRIED FOR ACTIONS HE TOOK WHILE PRESIDENT.
THE LACK OF TRUST IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM MAY BE AT AN ALL-TIME LOW. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE GETTING FREE STUFF. HUNTER BIDEN IS GETTING TREATMENT NO OTHER AMERICAN WOULD GET. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NOT ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS ON THE BOOKS AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE PHONY LLC’S THAT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN USED TO LAUNDER MONEY FOR THE BENEFIT OF BIDEN AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS?
IN THE APPEALS COURT RULING DENYING DONALD TRUMP’S CLAIM OF IMMUNITY FOR ACTIONS HE TOOK WHILE PRESIDENT, THE THREE JUDGES MOSTLY SKIPPED OVER A 1982 RULING BY THE SUPREME COURT. IN THAT RULING, TITLED NIXON VS. FITZGERALD, THE SUPREME COURT SAID THE PRESIDENT HAS “ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY” FROM CIVIL LIABILITY FOR “OFFICIAL ACTS.”
WAS URGING VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE TO DENY ELECTORAL VOTES FROM SOME STATES AN OFFICIAL ACT, AND WAS URGING DEMONSTRATORS TO GO TO THE CAPITOL AN OFFICIAL ACT? WERE THEY LEGAL ACTS?
THE APPEALS COURT DECISION WILL LIKELY HEAD TO THE SUPREME COURT. WE SHOULD KNOW SOON. I’M CAL THOMAS.
