Biden Campaign: Today’s Ruling Doesn’t Change The Fact That Trump’s An Unhinged Felon Wannabe Dictator
Via press release from the Biden/Harris campaign:
Today’s ruling doesn’t change the facts, so let’s by very clear about what happened on January 6: Donald Trump snapped after he lost the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overthrow the results of a free and fair election.
Trump is already running for president as a convicted felon for the very same reason he sat idly by while the mob violently attacked the Capitol: he thinks he’s above the law and is willing to do anything to gain and hold onto power for himself.
Since January 6, Trump has only grown more unhinged. He’s promising to be a dictator ‘on day one,’ calling for our Constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain power, and promising a ‘bloodbath’ is he loses.
The American people already rejected Donald Trump’s self-obsessed quest for power once—Joe Biden will make sure they reject it for good in November.

Sotomayor’s Dissent: “Order A Rival’s Assassination? Organize A Military Coup To Hold Power? Immune.”
“The president of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution.
“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.
“Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity.
“If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop. With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” – Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in today’s dissent.
