Ok Dark Brandon ... you know what to do...

Justice Sotomayor
"When [the president] uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority's message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

- Two of those things already happened without immunity. Now, that guy who was being prosecuted for those crimes will be immune. There's no end to the corruption.CyBrainX

nb - this image illustrates my point about your posts. When I read your complaints I fear you're not even scratching the surface of the real issues facing the U.S. regarding these two candidates and their respective party values.

- Really? He’s implying that he’s behind an agenda to violate this amendment.doublespaced

- ...stating he's a Christian Nationalist?Morning_star
- You’re not wrong. This alone doesn’t. But declaring this a Christian nation usually follows with an agenda to make it one :)doublespaced

- Does the US have a state church?Morning_star
- No it doesn’t. That would be a violation of the amendment.doublespaced
- And therein lies the connection between his comments and the 1A, no, there is no state churchwhatthefunk
- The very idea would be “respecting an establishment of religion” which is exactly what this country was founded on avoiding.doublespaced
- And this relates to how Project 2025 is linked to a coordinated Christian Nationalism Agendawhatthefunk
- I'm assuming Hawley doesn't have the power to change the constitution. So, given his right to free speech what is the problem here?Morning_star
- Morning_star: What would be the reaction if a Muslim MP declared something similar, would be a bit shocking, no?whatthefunk
- Christian nationalists believe that the country was founded as a Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout governmenetwhatthefunk

- There was a concerted effort from a group of radical Muslims to run as opposition independent MPs in the last election. And people saw them for what they were.Morning_star
- Genuine question, will he get support from the public because he's said this?Morning_star
- I should clarify, a considerable proportion of the public?Morning_star
- Well you all have a state church so a sectarian election is concerning, for non christians in the US, we're trying to protect our freedom from religionwhatthefunk
- And furthermore discrimination, his state, Missouri, actually once banned Yoga b/c of it's ties to witchcraft, so you get a sense of what we're dealing with.whatthefunk
- Support - yes! His state is ~77% Christian and he's a Trump supporter who denied the last election - so he's part of Project 2025whatthefunk

- ...campaigning for the last election no MP would put their christianity at the forefront of their campaign messaging. I guess it's a lot more overt in the US.Morning_star
- There has been a drastic decline in christian affiliation and congregations in the us for years, so naturally the right is screaming from the rooftops about itwhatthefunk
- Also interesting to see an MP being suspended for making remarks about other Muslim MPs, curious...not here lolwhatthefunk
- I think he's not wrong. The US derives it law and philosophy from a long line of Christian nations. From the Romans, all the way through to the English.monNom
- They didn't throw that basis away, or adopt a confucian, or hindu, or muslim basis for law and society. They just separated the functions of church and state.monNom
- In contrast to say: England, Russia, Rome, Japan, Iran, the Ottomans, the Byzantines, the Persians, Ancient Egypt, etc.monNom
- I don't know what Christian Nationalism means though.monNom
