Donald Trump - America's Future Caesar | The Warning
Biden Warns That Supreme Court’s Immunity Ruling Will Embolden Trump
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The president, under scrutiny since his damaging debate appearance last week, did not stumble or falter during his brief remarks.
President Biden warned on Monday that the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity meant that there were “virtually no limits on what the president can do” and urged voters to prevent former President Donald J. Trump from returning to the White House freed from the constraints of the law.
“The American people must decide if they want to entrust the president once again — the presidency — to Donald Trump,” Mr. Biden said during brief remarks, “knowing he’ll be more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it.”
Mr. Biden’s response to Monday’s court ruling was his first public remarks since he spent the weekend hunkered down with family at Camp David. His disastrous debate performance in Atlanta last week has led some Democrats to call for him to drop out of the presidential race because of concerns about his age and mental fitness.
The president appeared ruddier than he did during the 90-minute debate, when many observed that he looked very pale. He did not stumble over his words on Monday or falter midsentence. But he was using a teleprompter for the remarks, which lasted about four and a half minutes. » | Michael D. Shear, Reporting from Washington | Monday, July 1, 2024
Listen to Biden speak well on this here.
This dangerous, but not surprising, ruling by the US Supreme Court shows the world just how flawed the US judicial system is. It is to be hoped that the American electorate will show superior judgment on election day. – © Mark Alexander
