unbelievable
This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Brain Karem on how he kicked Trump’s ass three times over his press pass ban—and same will happen now! deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/brain-kare...
giving him immunity is behind most of this destruction. Hold USSC accountable when the time comes
Anyone associated with trying to tear down the Center—workers included—should be held legally liable. Whether or not he’s immune—no one else is. Make it hard to “play along.” Make it hard for “yes men.” Add a price.

He's right, it was a long time ago. I can't remember if I was working on campus here in Princeton signing students into classes or if I was heroically leading the recovery effort at Ground Zero, bravely digging through rubble with my bare hands. Time, am I right?
