I watched with horror and disbelief as the Supreme Court handed down their ruling on presidential immunity (“Trump gets some immunity,” July 2).
Rather than address the actual facts presented by the special counsel regarding the actual attempts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn a vigorously litigated and settled election, they went down the rabbit hole of hypotheticals to opine on “maybes” instead of the very real and immediate threat posed by a rogue individual who has no respect for the law or their precious Constitution.

Why the snark? What I care about is where Eric Hovde stands on issues, not his bank shares
It seems as though these esteemed jurists have abandoned any semblance of respect for their own respective oaths of office to honor and uphold the Constitution. I would guess that the framers of that Constitution would not espouse their fanciful interpretation of the platform originally set forth to be the infrastructure of our democracy.
Where were these justices on Jan. 6, 2021? Did they not see and hear what we, the great unwashed, saw and heard? Are they acting in a vacuum with no awareness of the danger this country faces?
In the words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, “I dissent!”
