2Supreme Court's 'Absolute Immunity' Ruling Undermines Constitutional Principles
The host argues that the Supreme Court's decision to grant Donald Trump absolute immunity is a fundamental betrayal of American founding principles, which were established against the concept of absolute immunity for rulers. This ruling, coupled with the Court's year-long delay on tariff rulings, is seen as enabling executive overreach and causing lasting damage.
The Supreme Court took over a year to rule on Trump's tariffs, despite clear constitutional mandates on Congress's power of the purse, but quickly granted Trump absolute immunity. The host states, 'Our whole constitution preceded by the Declaration of Independence with a list of grievances is against kings. That's the whole point of what we're doing here. We don't want absolute immunity.'
3Trump's Administration Accused of Authoritarian Tactics and Corruption

He claims the regime's actions are a 'cover up of a cover up' to steal wealth and exploit people.
