minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·3 months agoThat’s not how the ruling works. Biden could go shoot Donald Trump (in broad daylight on 5th Avenue) and could not be prosecuted for it. He cannot make new laws. That’s still Congress’s job, for now.
minus-squaremerc@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months ago Make it so felons cannot run for president How does immunity let him do that? Doing that would require changing the constitution. Legally, this would let him go and scribble new words on the paper version of the constitution. He would be immune from the charge of vandalism. But, that wouldn’t actually change the constitution.
