Get Off My Lawn! - The Mad Ramblings of a Gen X-er

Jul 1 2024 • 8 mins

Can former presidents really get away with anything while in office? Join us as Trey Gowdy breaks down the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity and its potential repercussions. With a bold 6-3 decision, the Court has set the stage for a fierce legal battleground, offering substantial protection for official actions but leaving the door open for prosecution of unofficial acts. Gowdy sheds light on Chief Justice Roberts' minimalist approach in the majority opinion and what this means for Jack Smith’s case against Trump, especially regarding alleged election interference and the January 6th events.

We don’t shy away from the complexities and controversies, tackling the grey areas around what constitutes an “official act.” From the legality of high-stakes operations like the elimination of Osama bin Laden to the ongoing legal challenges in New York and Atlanta, we cover it all. With a mix of humor and serious analysis, we navigate through Trump's recent legal battles and victories, pointing out the broader implications for presidential powers and immunity. Join us for a compelling discussion that keeps you on the edge of your seat as the situation continues to evolve.
