      I copy and pasted from the 1981 ruling. Anyway, hope you have a good one!

        He’s pointing out what you posted says damages liability, which means something completely different. Basically means I couldn’t have sued Regan for fucking over 90% of the American populous financially. It doesn’t mean he has immunity to everything that is an official act. Big difference.

          Indeed it does. The president has always had immunity. This is civil immunity. There is also criminal immunity because you can’t prosecute the president for ordering the deaths of thousands of people. Unlike say, you know if I was responsible for thousands of deaths. Or even one death. The president must have some immunity to carry out their duty as commander and chief. We have laws against murder. Ever find it funny you can’t go after the president for murder? No, you never once considered it.

            Can you show me anywhere in the constitution that says you can’t, because it is a responsibility of the people according to the constitution for the people to stop them from doing such shit.

            Keep being the sheep you want to be. Get down on your knees and bow next.
