Supreme Court Affirms Presidential Immunity for Official Acts


The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today that Donald Trump, along with all U.S. Presidents, possesses what is known as absolute presidential immunity within the confines of his official duties and acts.


This legal protection shields presidents from liability for decisions made in their official capacity as the nation's leader.


The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision aligns and agrees with the arguments presented in the Kansas Republican Party amicus brief submitted to SCOTUS, as brilliantly written by Chris McGowne, Esq., KSGOP counselor.


The following signed onto the submitted amicus brief in full support:


Kansas Republican Party

Colorado Republican Party

Delaware Republican Party

Georgia Republican Party

Idaho Republican Party

Maine Republican Party

Michigan Republican Party

Nebraska Republican Party

North Dakota Republican Party

Oklahoma Republican Party

Rhode Island Republican Party

West Virginia Republican Party

Wisconsin Republican Party

Wyoming Republican Party


These states joined with the KSGOP to contend that, when acting within an official capacity, presidents cannot be prosecuted for actions performed in the line of duty on behalf of the United States.


However, the Court clarified that presidential immunity does not extend to acts conducted in a personal capacity. Presidents remain accountable for individual actions and cannot claim immunity for such deeds.


This decision changes or kills many of the sham trials currently underway in New York and Georgia.


The Supreme Court held that: “Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.”


Specific to the events leading up to and including January 6, 2021, SCOTUS wrote, “And the President cannot be prosecuted for conduct within his exclusive constitutional authority. Trump is therefore absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials.”


This is a huge win for Donald J. Trump personally, as a former and the next POTUS, and for the Trump presidential campaign.

President Trump on Truth Social posted, “Big win for our constitution and democracy. Proud to be an American!”


Indeed, Mr. President, proud American encapulates it perfectly.

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”


Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address

Saturday, March 4, 1865

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

“Together, we will lead the Republican party back to the White House and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity and peace.”
