“Warning to Big Law: those who fail to stand up while they can for the rule of law may rue its erosion and regret their silence.” Trump’s petty retribution violates the 1st and 6th amendments, but it still takes guts to ignore his threats and act honorably.

it’s just mass hysteria
This also applies to US Judges & Justices of the SC. Their legal profession is not needed when there is no rule of law in a dictatorship.
Trump is the law.
immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. He is also entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.
Bundy v Stommel, 168 F. App’x 870, 2006. “…The district court dismissed Mr. Bundy’s complaint as legally frivolous under 28 U.S.C. 1915A, and we reverse…But given Mr. Bundy’s constitutionally protected liberty
Trump is assuming that this decision by the SCOTUS is a blanket immunity of all official acts.

Trump is assuming that this decision by the SCOTUS is a blanket immunity of all official acts. It seems to me, that the best way to challenge this immunity claim is to force
Remember in business it’s all about profits & liabilities. Everything & everyone is either one or the other. And to Trump & in any dictatorship, laws are liabilities to their rule.
So how do we remove these 8 for dereliction of duty. That’s the part the framers failed to put guardrails
History books will not be kind...

Most will put their heads down and try to weather the storm
But once autocracy takes hold, a lot of their business will disappear
Who wins/loses in court will just depend on Trump’s whims
My only point was they may decide their short term interest in maximizing their $ could be to not cross Trump, which could force them to SPEND $ defending against a DOJ investigation
Point is: they might save money now, but ultimately lose when laws don’t matter
DOGE’s rampage through institutions has parallels in China’s Cultural Revolution

I survived Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party’s purges. What's happening now reminds me of the CCP’s Central Cultural Revolution Group.

Geezus!!
I am surprised that WaPo actually published this.

After the wink to the fiscal hawks, if/when Thomas and/or Alito retire and are replaced by Cannon and/or Kacsmaryk and if Sotomayor or Kagan don't hang on another 4 years, it'll be a 6-3 or even 7-2 SC(R)OTUS through 2052.
All Hail The Perpetual Unitary Executive.
After what Bezos just newly did (after everything else) in destroying the paper’s last shred of journalistic integrity?
Boo. Boooooooo. 👎
Peak tragic irony.
