That's wrong. The President can still be impeached and convicted by Congress. What this prevents is the weaponization of partisan courts anywhere in the Country

That's wrong. The President can still be impeached and convicted by Congress. What this prevents is the weaponization of partisan courts anywhere in the Country against a President for actions they took while in office.
- chkn 2y agoYes the courts are clearly more partisan than Congress
- willmadden 2y agoIt doesn't take all courts. It takes only one court across the entire country to disrupt the executive branch. In total, there are nearly 1,770 judgeships authorized across the 209 courts in the federal court system alone, and thousands and thousands of state courts. Having any one of these courts being able to disrupt the executive branch of government is not a feature of a stable governmental system. That is why the impeachment process exists. The SCOTUS merely reaffirmed what was already the law.

- ModernMech 2y ago> Having any one of these courts being able to disrupt the executive branch of government is not a feature of a stable governmental system. It appears so stable that it actually hasn't cause any of the damage you fear in over 200 years. That the chief executive is not above the law has produced the most stable democracy that's ever been conceived.
- stevenAthompson 2y agoThe president may now murder anyone in congress who disagrees with him, as long as he writes the order on presidential letterhead, so they aren't much of a real threat are they?
