CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 3, 2024
IT’S AMUSING TO WATCH THE LEFT HOWL WHEN THE SUPREME COURT’S SHOES HAVE MOVDED FROM LEFT FEET TO RIGHT FEET. AS IN THE CASE GRANTING SIGNIFICANT IMMUNITY TO PRESIDENTS FOR OFFICIAL ACTS WHILE IN OFFICE.
THE 6-3 MAJORITY SEEKS TO PROTECT THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, THE CURRENT, AND FUTURE PRESIDENTS FROM PROSECUTIONS AND THAT’S A GOOD THING. NO PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THE POSSIBILITY OF A PARTISAN PROSECUTION BY A SUCCESSOR AND A CORRUPT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL HAD IT RIGHT: “THE 6-3 COURT MAJORITY RIGHTLY FOCUSES ON THE INSTITUTION OF THE PRESIDENCY, AND THE ABILITY OF ALL PRESIDENTS – NOT MERELY THE LAST ONE – TO ACT IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST FREE FROM PROSECUTION FOR OFFICIAL ACTS.” A LOWER COURT WILL BE ASKED TOM DECIDE WHICH OF TRUMP’S ACTS WERE OFFICIAL AND WHICH UNOFFICIAL.
WHEN THE COURT HAD A LIBERAL MAJORITY AND WAS “LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH,” THE REST OF US WERE SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT THEIR DECISIONS AS CONSTITUTIONAL.
NOW WE HEAR CRIES THE COURT IS ILLEGITIMATE AND SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED. THE LEFT CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, THOIUGH THEY TRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
