About this episode
It’s been an eventful week, y’all!
IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said is the case for any “official” act taken by a sitting US President. Boy are they tearing this country up.
To quote the dissenting opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, “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… In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.” Justice Soto, we join your dissent!
The hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum dive into what this crisis of a ruling really means for the rest of us.
In what is undeniably a difficult political moment, we want to provide y’all some ways to take action. Don’t become despondent!! Support your local candidates and bolster Democratic forces near you AT THIS LINK.
And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam. We are 127 number days away from the election. Welcome home y’all!
