Dem Rep. Jim Himes tells "MAGA" they better think twice about supporting strikes on drug traffickers because they "need to imagine who gets killed ...

I'm pointing out the answer to these questions don't happen until the SC hears a case involving these questions. Again, they haven't been asked in the past because the answers were assumed, until the left went all lawfare and the SC had to rule on the issues.

Everyone assumed the president could be prosecuted for committing crimes in office.

This ******* disaster of a court said that the president has immunity for anything relating to his constitutional duties. They said nothing about being able to prosecute the president after they're impeached.

You just made that up.

Yes, I think the president should be subject to prosecution if they do illegal shit. That's kind of the thing that keeps them from being like a king.

 

[Couchpotato]

Obama had congressional authorization and acted in accordance with self defense in an actual war.

Hegseth is going to need a pardon.

He had approval to target and kill a US citizen and his kid? Umm no he didn’t.

Crimes, i.e. not valid legal presidential acts, and to be prosecuted means to be impeached and removed. That's the mechanism given in the Constitution.

If he's impeached AND removed, it implies what he did wasn't part of his Presidential duties.

For it to be "illegal shit" he has to be impeached and removed. That's how the Constitution handles the issue.

Moroner is just blabbering

 

[Marener]

He didn’t target the kid. The citizen was a member of al qaeda, so yes he did have approval.

 

[candycorn]

Whose court they aren't Americans but what they ARE TRANSPORTING IS KILLING Americans

Jurisdiction would be a hard sell since we’re commiting an act of war without having declared war.

They always seem to skip over that detail when complaining about Obama, don’t they?

You’re kicking their ass this morning.

 

[Marener]

It implies no such thing.

Being commander in chief of the military is a core constitutional duty. Congress can impeach the president because they blew up a boat without any legal authority but SCOTUS says he can’t be prosecuted for it.

It sure as hell does.

Congress impeaching AND removing provides the opening for the prosecution.

What law is Trump supposedly breaking with blowing up these narco-terrorist boats?

 

[Hellokitty]

How do you know? Did the military release footage of the strikes?

Can you show us where you expressed the same concern when Biden dusted a car with a family over suspicion in Afghanistan?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

The better question is why would anyone object to illegal drug runners

 

[White 6]

They [Democrats] haven't reached peak insanity yet.

We have a Congressman equating vile drug runners with...? People who disagree with them politically.

Who knows, who the the Navy is killing on Trump authorization, or why. No names of supposed drug traffickers, no drugs recovered, no witnesses except Navy personnel, signing non-disclosures. No oversight or even congressional consulting. Nothing. You just have to take Trump's word for it, even though, he has publicly and privately lied before. There is no evidence to support anything, the Trump administration says on blowing the boats out of the water, killing everybody, without even a stop and search.

 

[Hellokitty]

Is he telegraphing that AOC will be a Queen who just offs Americans if they don't toe the line? No Queens No Queens

No doubt the comments about AOC was rehearsed virtue signaling.

 

[justoffal]

WTF? Has every last Dem just gone ******* nuts?

Hand in the cartel cookie jar maybe?
I mean look at Mexico.... The president down there is just a spokesperson for the cartels.

You’re just making shit up. Nowhere does SCOTUS say any of this shit in their decision.

It’s murder.

 

[struth]

Obama had congressional authorization and acted in accordance with self defense in an actual war.

Hegseth is going to need a pardon.

You can’t get congressional authorization to ignore the US Constitution and deny people under its jurisdiction its protections

The President doesn’t need authorization to protect the United States borders from terrorist attempting to assault our borders. He has the inherent authority under the US Constitution as commander and chief

But sure, what criminal code do you think the Sec Def needs a pardon for?

 

[struth]

You’re just making shit up. Nowhere does SCOTUS say any of this shit in their decision.

It’s murder.

You are just making things up again.

 

[martybegan]

You’re just making shit up. Nowhere does SCOTUS say any of this shit in their decision.

It’s murder.

Anyone with an above room temperature IQ can read the opinion and get the gist of what SCOTUS was saying. You ignore it due to being either stupid, and/or willfully ignorant so you can get the talking point you want.

No, it isn't murder.

 

[Correll]

Jurisdiction would be a hard sell since we’re commiting an act of war without having declared war.

We haven't declared war in generations.

And you leftards only have a problem with that, when you are not in power.

People get impeached and removed from office for high crimes and misdemeanors

Which is prosecutable.

If the president does it within his official duties it’s not a high crime or misdemeanor
