You could feel it.<\/p>\n<p>He continued his revelation. \u201cAnd we, the Supreme Court, are  going to make it pretty hard to hold that president criminally responsible for their actions,\u201d he said, \u201cso, voters need to think really carefully about who they want to possess this level of immunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I imagine Barbaro swelled with pride at having successfully followed that pure and true train of thought to its logical end. He did it! He really did it!<\/p>\n<p>I just wish the rest of his peers in the media and the Democrat Party would do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after the ruling, holding that a president carrying out his constitutional responsibilities can\u2019t be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-over-500-white-people-have-been-killed-by-cops-since-2020-there-has-been-no-rioting-over-those-deaths\/\" title=\"WALSH: Over 500 White People Have Been Killed By Cops Since 2020.

But it was clear in asserting that communications and deliberations between a president and anyone serving in his administration is immune from prosecution. In short, anyone wanting to press charges against a former president for things he did while in office is going to have to prove with great certainty that it\u2019s for a good reason and not because, say, they\u2019re mad.<\/p>\n<p>This was more or less implied and accepted for the last 230 years. Then 2016 happened and because Democrats refused to accept the results of an election, they decided it was time to see how far this country can bend before it snaps. You know, just like the true vanguards of decency and democracy that they are.<\/p>\n<p>The court decided what it did expressly because there\u2019s no other way to make this system work if we don\u2019t elect people we trust to do the right thing to keep it going.

On a recent podcast episode, Barbaro and Supreme Court correspondent Adam Liptak discussed the ruling, with Barbaro realizing that the Court was emphasizing the power and legal latitude given to elected presidents. He suggested that voters should carefully consider who they want to have this level of immunity. <\/p>\n<p>After the ruling, Democrats and their supporters reacted by making extreme claims about what the ruling meant, such as suggesting that President Biden now had the legal right to assassinate Donald Trump. The Court&#8217;s decision clarified that a president cannot be held criminally liable for actions taken while in office, and that communications within the administration are immune from prosecution. This has been the accepted practice for centuries, but was challenged in the aftermath of the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>The Court&#8217;s ruling was necessary to maintain the integrity of the system, and it highlights the importance of electing trustworthy individuals to office. The response from Democrats, however, shows a lack of understanding or a willingness to undermine the system. It is reassuring that at least Michael Barbaro grasps the significance of the ruling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2288128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-at-12.02.50-PM-1024x673.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5738,15823,5782,6994,6566],"class_list":["post-2288127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-immunity","tag-nyt","tag-ruling","tag-scotus","tag-staffer"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-at-12.02.50-PM-1024x673.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2288127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2288127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2288127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2288128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2288127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2288127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2288127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
