President Biden attacked the Supreme Court on Monday night for stymying his Justice Department’s attempt to detain Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, following his lie-filled, fatal conversation efficiency last week.
” Each of us is equal before the law,” the saying goes. … No one is above the laws, not even the president of the United States”, said Biden, who often brags about defying the Supreme Court. ” But]with ] today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed”.
The higher court ruled on Monday in response to the high court’s decision to determine whether leaders are subject to lifelong immunity from legal prosecution and whether they can face charges for deliberations that fall under their purview. The case centered on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare against Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Trump was charged last year with ties to the protests that took place on January 6, 2021, according to Smith.
In a 6- 3 determination, the court’s majority, as my colleague Brianna Lyman summarized, ruled” that presidents have ‘ complete immunity’ for’ actions within his convincing and preclusive legal authority’ and ‘ at least presumed immunity’ for all’ standard acts.'” The majority refused to grant resistance for “unofficial works,” so it was returned to the lower courts to decide whether Trump’s activities, as Smith claimed, form “official acts.”
A notably yellow Biden, a reading from the White House script, falsely claimed that SCOTUS’s choice “almost surely means there are virtually no limits on what a president you do.” The president added that the high court’s assurance of current law creates” a dangerous precedent because the office’s power will no longer be restrained by the law, yet the Supreme Court of the United States.”
As Judicial Crisis Network President Carrie Severino noted, Chief Justice John Roberts “explicitly” wrote in his lot opinion,” The President is not above the law”.
Biden further attacked the Supreme Court with his speech on Monday, saying that it issued decisions that Democrats do n’t like.
Biden claimed that this choice now has continued the judge’s strike on a number of well-established constitutional concepts in our country in recent years. ” From gutting voting rights and legal freedom, to taking away a person’s right to decide, to yesterday’s decision that affects the rule of law of this region”.

He even tacitly admitted SCOTUS’s choice hampers his administration’s efforts to detain Trump before the 2024 vote and apparently complained that voters — not his crooked Court — will have the final say on Trump’s “behavior” related to the activities of Jan. 6.
The American people must decide whether to give Donald Trump the presidency, with the knowledge that he will be more motivated to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it, according to Biden.
Biden’s use of his position as president on Monday was not surprising because it was his first attempt to undermine one of the last functioning American institutions that Democrats do n’t control.
For instance, the president threatened the faces of the Supreme Court justices who were present during his State of the Union speech in March. Referencing the court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Biden said:” With all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral, electoral power — excuse me — electoral or political power. You’re about to realize just how much you’re right about that”.
Democrats and their media allies ‘ apparent coordinated campaign to delegitimize the high court’s Republican appointees are the focus of Biden’s attacks. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett have found themselves as targets of dishonest hit pieces deployed by hack- tivist” journalists” in recent months.
