It should!

It is before he left the WH.

It is before he left the WH.

From what I remember of Civics, Trump was president until Jan 20th.

The article said he's not protected with the same protection as still being President. However, once he's out of office, he is protected for saying anything to anyone about the election because of the 1st Amendment.

I think you read too much into this as a matter of precedent. The ruling is specific to defamation. The judge himself alluded that this immunity doesn't necessarily extent to other actions he took.

Actions like fake electors. Fundraising on the premise of fighting the elections only to just use it as a warchest. Pressuring people to overstep their constitutional authority in order to overturn the election. Etc.,etc.

This is not even mentioning that the ruling still has several levels of judicial review to go through if an appeal is filed.

Wouldn't that apply to Jan 6th as well?

It absolutely should! But Trump didn't stop with just that and the judge didn't rule for him on the rest of his criminal activities.

In any case, he has a lot more available escape routes out of trouble than just that!

The American system contains no mechanisms that can prevent a president from making the necessary laws, and then have a secured Scotus to interpret them to his needs!

No he isn't. If your saying something that you know to be false, that causes damages to another individual you aren't protected under the first amendment. Just ask Fox News.

If I understand you correctly, you're jealous because you want that power too.

STFU, duck. You aren't an American. You aren't a lawyer and you have no apparent education. So just run along and play with Turdeau's junk.

You are talking about liable. Liable has a very, very high standard of proof. Not likely in this case. Who was harmed? No one. Biden is still President.

He was never actually defeated.

Slander. Liable is print, slander is verbal The Difference Between 'Slander' and 'Libel'

 

[MAGA Macho Man]

Biden is still President.

No, he's a Usurper!
