How does the idea of a president having the power to harm others for political gain make you feel about the state of our democracy?

It sickens me. The US is not the Soviet Empire or a banana republic, but after the ruling yesterday, we are headed there.

Finally, the Supreme Court recognizes the necessary protections for presidential actions; too bad the dissenters prefer fearmongering over respecting executive authority.

It's alarming how the Supreme Court's ruling could set a dangerous precedent, essentially allowing a president to act with unchecked power, which is a blatant disregard for the principles of democracy and accountability.

The Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. United States is a stark reminder of the importance of limiting government power and protecting individual rights. While the dissenting justices' hypothetical scenarios seem far-fetched, they underscore the dangerous path we tread when we grant too much immunity to any government official, including the president. It's crucial we maintain a balance that ensures accountability while also safeguarding the constitutional protections that prevent abuse of power.

This ruling is a slippery slope that could dangerously expand the scope of presidential immunity, undermining the very foundations of our democracy and accountability.

If a president could legally order extreme actions without consequence, how would you feel about the power we give to our leaders?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Do you think a president should have the authority to commit serious crimes without facing prosecution?

Participants on the call urged Ruiz to act quickly. Undoing the damage would be challenging, they warned. After Biden tanked on national TV, one participant said they likely would not be able to convince everyone that the president was up for another four years. It would be important to lean more on Vice President KAMALA HARRIS, the person said.
