I don't accept the idea of "absolute immunity"...

[kentuck]

For no one.

Not the president. Not agents of ICE. Not the Supreme Court.

It is a concept foreign to anything I have ever believed.

It is contrary to everything in western law. It is contrary to the Magna Carta that King John signed.

Those that commit crimes should be held accountable. If the Supreme Court says otherwise, they are illegitimate and must be replaced.

Just my opinion.

1. originalist? textualist? biblical?

i don't see "immunity" anywhere.

and just because they don't believe in the hague doesn't mean guys like milosevich and duterte have any kind of immunity, why trump or his minions?

2. John Roberts doesn't either.

So, he made it up to gain power and wealth.

[kentuck]

3. No one should accept the theory.

It should be mocked by whomever says it.

Democrats should continue to push for justice and accountability and never accept that anyone is above the law.

6. How about qualified immunity?

[kentuck]

7. Can you think of an example?

In war, killing is usually overlooked, unless it is civilians that are killed.

[MichMan]

9. Should judges be charged for releasing someone who later goes out and kills?

[kentuck]

11. Only if they conspired with the person to kill someone...

Otherwise they could be voted out of office or impeached. People have to hold everyone accountable.

[MichMan]

12. So as long as they didn't conspire, you believe they should have immunity

8. Not that either.

4. "The object of civil society is justice, not truth, virtue, wealth, knowledge, glory or power.

“The object of civil society is justice, not truth, virtue, wealth, knowledge, glory or power. Justice is followed by equality and liberty.” Lord Acton

Footnote: All of the above is , of course, subjective and relative.

5. Perhaps that is why "Justice" is the first bullet point in our Preamble to our Constitution?

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

10. I agree with Acton and the founders. The results are mixed.

i.e. Trump's stacked Supreme Court which provides obvious examples to injustice.

13. Thing is, if TSF or goons commit a crime either TSFs own justice dept has to investigate and indict (not

likely) or the victim(s) have to sue with their own money, going up against the full force and resources of the fed govt (our money).

The idea of immunity is highly flawed any way you look at it
