Breaking! Judge rules Trump protected by presidential immunity for claims doubting election while in office

[Billiejeens]

Pos had 2 heart attacks from the guilt.

Good.

 

[Billiejeens]

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.

No

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.

Apparently according to the claimant. They were hurt. Harassment I'm guessing based on Trump singling them out. Also, by the article, he only received immunity for 2 of the 3 cases filed against him. The third statement occurring after he left office.

I will not judge the likelihood of them prevailing simply because I don't have enough information atm to comment on it intelligently. But I do know enough about law to know that the first amendment isn't a blank check as you seemed to state in your first, (since amended) comment.

A big win for Trump. With this ruling setting precedent, you can kiss the Georgia case by Fanni Willis goodbye. Trump did nothing wrong in that case.

Trump is not totally in the clear, as the judge ruled that statements he made after leaving the White House are not protected.

Doubting election results is one thing. Actively trying to get people to change the results is another.

Actively trying to get people to change the results

"Find me 11K votes" is not actively trying to change anything. SMFH.

 

[struth]

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!

what are you talking about? the American system doesn't allow the President to simply make laws.....

Not to mention this ruling only applies to Penn.

It is case law now. This does have an influence on future rulings even in other states.

Harassment
This is going nowhere. Again, liable standards are extremely high.

Assuming it does not get shot down in its own state by a higher court

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Why did you vote for Biden?

I didnt.

 

[Concerned American]

I didnt.

Naw, you've just been supporting his every moronic move.

 

[SC Patriot]

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.

So hillary saying that white women vote the way their husbands tell them to vote, she isn't protected by the first amendment?
Gee....where is the indictment?

 

[Lastamender]

It only applies to Penn.

How can it he was president of the whole country?

Doubting election results is one thing. Actively trying to get people to change the results is another.

He never asked for someone to change votes. He asked for those votes to be found. Gore did the same dam thing. So did Abrams.

But....but.....Trump.

We get it.

The 1st doesn’t protect against all speech… liable is an example

Yes, Abrams and Gore did the same damn thing.
