I thought I’d take some time to discuss some of the problems that Trump and his SCOTUS will be facing in the years to come. These issues wouldn’t really matter except for the political myths in this country. Things like the law treats everyone the same and no-one is above or beyond the reach of the law. Basically our belief in fair play.

This “Presidential Immunity” is definitely something the average man is not going to like once he becomes aware of it. It smells to much like King Charles I defense “the King can do no Wrong” for my taste. But beyond that the right is going to have a problem with how to deal with it if Harris wins come November. Just imagine what a “liberal” can do if they have total immunity for “Official” Presidential acts? What I’d first see being done is coming up with a very very limited definition of “Official Acts”. The problem they face is that someday, when a “Conservative” is elected they will not want to limit his/her actions. This is a classic problem fact by Authoritarians; you want to give the Autocrat as much unlimited power when they will do what you want and limit the power as much as possible when you think they will do things you don’t want.

So eventually SCOTUS is going to face having to either take what ever definition of “Official Acts” a lower court comes up with or develop one of their own. Neither options is very palatable to this court. They face the traditional issue of having several different, and maybe quite different, definitions to select from. None of them very palatable. If so, then they face the problem selecting one or coming up with their own. Which leaves them with the problem of taking the heat for what they rule. An given just how much a “Hot Button” issue Presidential Immunity” threatens to become I think they will be loath to do it.

One thing that could happen is they could put things off till a few more new Justices are added to the court. This could really work well if the people selected are not on the renowned Heritage Foundation Judges list. Then the court could do several things, including reversing the ruling completely. They can also hope that the proposed idea of a constitutional amendment to remove the immunity comes to pass.

This last is what I hope for and I’ve lost faith in the good since of any of the people put forth if the Heritage Foundation approves of them.
