A criminal is a criminal NO MATTER WHO!!!🤬🤬🤬

[leroyjames]

Umm, he lost by over SEVEN MILLION VOTES!

[delta_bluesontwitch]

What matters is whether there has been criminal activity, not who is prosecuting.

[josephwright]

We have never had a ex president try to over throw the government to stay in power

[leveller]

You’d be fine if you accepted the result. If you fraudulently call it stolen, and plot to overthrow it, then you may be prosecuted. Not that hard to understand.

[x]

No, the best thing to do is ensure that no one gets to be president who is a crook ! And where is the 'bitter political opponent ?'

[tristancleer]

Exactly what Alito wanted, muddy the waters instead of ruling that trump could be liable for an insurrection.

[audreyhiggins]

He committed crimes..period..he didn't want to go off in a peaceful retirement.. that's why we are here..🙄😮‍💨🤨🤔

[SalManila]

Bullshit. A LOSER IS A LOSER AND IS DECLARED THAT WAY.

[lydias]

Just don't break any laws then you are good.

[dericmitchell]

The fact that they're even arguing this says that they're idiots.

[claudiaschmidt]

It's NOT THE RIGHT WAY, TO START AN INSURRECTION, bc you don't like the result.

You're a DEMOCRATHY WITH A JUSTICE, THAT HAS THE DUTY TO BE AND ACT AS THE THIRD INDEPENDANT COLUMN OF IT.
INDEPENDANT, FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION AND LAW, NOT POLITICAL
THE " FEELING" DOES NOT MATTER!!! FEELINGS ARE NOT EVIDENCES.
This judge doesn't understand his job. He is to remove immediatly.
The right way is to protest and to let investigate the cases.
All of them were done and it was shown with evidences, that he was wrrong.
So what?
This SCOTUS IS NOT THE SCOTUS OF DEMOCRATHY, THIS SCOTUS IS OF DICTATORSHIP OR KINGDOM.

[pjgraves]

SCJ defines Constitutuonal laws and is not to make laws.

[thejoshualymanlyman]

Amazing that he managed to get on the supreme court when he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. What a nutbag.

[lynetb]

Well.... if you commit crimes then you let it go without punishment!
🤔
Shame on you!
We the people need for the Supreme court to do the right thing not just look the other way.

[theraldeltrn]

He is saying holding an ex president above the law, is good for the country. That is sick.

[JamesTolliver]

Nobody will want to run for president because once leaving off will be thrown in jail.

[joshuabanks]

Nobody's ever refused to give up power after losing an election before until Trump. He's the exception, not the norm.

[calvinator]

Total immunity and not a one time exemption for Trump. Article II has teeth or it doesn’t.

[michaelhaber]

Wtf is going on with this supreme court? We have to expand the court justices.
