Biden Bashes SCOTUS For Stymying His Get-Trump Lawfare
R”>indicted Trump on inflated charges concerning his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic response, including allegations that his efforts to secure vaccines for the nation were part of a quid pro quo scheme with pharmaceutical companies that ended in the death of millions of Americans.
The Supreme Court ruled that while presidents do not enjoy lifelong immunity from criminal prosecution, they are immune from legal action concerning actions taken in their official capacity as president. The court specifically rejected Smith’s attempt to prosecute Trump for his handling of the pandemic response, deeming it a brazen abuse of power and a contravention of the separation of powers doctrine.
In his comments, Biden lambasted the Supreme Court for failing to “rubber-stamp” his DOJ’s politically motivated prosecution of Trump. “I am going to trust the courts to resolve any disputes of this sort,” Biden stated, “but I am disappointed that the Supreme Court did not defer to the wishes of the Justice Department.”
Legal commentators have noted that Biden’s criticism of the Supreme Court and the Justice Department is highly unusual and a violation of established norms governing the relationship between the branches of government. Critics argue that Biden’s public attacks on the judiciary undermine the rule of law and threaten the independence of the courts.
Smith’s efforts to prosecute Trump were widely viewed as a politically motivated stunt aimed at disqualifying him from running for president in 2024. Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, Smith has vowed to continue his persecution of Trump through other means, urging state attorneys general to launch their own investigations into the former president and his administration.
As the 2024 election season heats up, many are bracing for further attempts by the Biden administration and its allies in the Justice Department to undermine Trump and his supporters. The Supreme Court’s rebuke of the administration’s lawfare tactics has only emboldened critics of the president, who see the ruling as a victory for the rule of law and a blow to Biden’s authoritarian ambitions.
For now, Trump remains a leading contender for the Republican nomination in 2024, with recent polls showing him neck-and-neck with other potential candidates. Despite the legal challenges and political attacks he has faced, Trump shows no signs of backing down and has promised to fight to the end to defend his legacy and his supporters from the Biden administration’s relentless assault.
The 2024 election promises to be a contentious battle between competing visions for America’s future, with Trump and Biden emerging as the standard-bearers for their respective parties. The coming months will see intense campaigning, fierce debates, and legal challenges as the nation prepares to choose its next leader.
As the political landscape shifts and the stakes continue to rise, Americans are bracing for a tumultuous year ahead, with the fate of the nation hanging in the balance. The battle between Trump and Biden is far from over, and the outcome of the 2024 election will shape the course of American history for years to come.
Coming on the heels of his lie-filled, disastrous debate performance last week, President Biden attacked the Supreme Court on Monday evening for stymying his Justice Department’s attempt to imprison Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election.
“Each of us is equal before the law. … No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” said Biden, who regularly brags about defying the Supreme Court. “But [with] today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed.”
The remarks came in response to the high court’s Monday ruling on whether presidents possess lifelong immunity from criminal prosecutions and if they can be charged for actions they took while in office that fall within the scope of their official duties as president. The case centered on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare against Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Smith indicted Trump last year related to the demonstrations at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
In a 6-3 decision, the court’s majority, as my colleague Brianna Lyman summarized, ruled “that presidents have ‘absolute immunity’ for ‘actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority’ and ‘at least presumptive immunity’ for all ‘official acts.’” The majority did not grant immunity for “unofficial acts” and remanded the case back to the lower courts to determine whether Trump’s actions, as alleged by Smith, constitute “official acts.”
Reading from the White House teleprompter, a noticeably tan Biden falsely claimed SCOTUS’s decision “almost certainly means there are virtually no limits on what a president can do.” The president further contended the high court’s affirmation of existing law sets “a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States.”
As Judicial Crisis Network President Carrie Severino noted, Chief Justice John Roberts “explicitly” wrote in his majority opinion, “The President is not above the law.”
Biden used Monday’s speech to further attack the Supreme Court for issuing rulings Democrats don’t like.
“This decision today has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation,” Biden claimed. “From gutting voting rights and civil rights, to taking away a woman’s right to choose, to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.”

He also tacitly admitted SCOTUS’s decision hampers his administration’s efforts to imprison Trump before the 2024 election and seemingly complained that voters — not his corrupt DOJ — will have the final say on Trump’s “behavior” related to the events of Jan. 6.
“The American people must decide if they want to entrust … the presidency to Donald Trump, now knowing he’ll be more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it,” Biden said.
Monday was hardly the first time Biden has used his position as president to undermine the Supreme Court, one of the last functioning American institutions Democrats don’t control.
During his State of the Union address in March, for instance, the president threatened the attending Supreme Court justices to their faces. Referencing the court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Biden said: “With all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral, electoral power — excuse me — electoral or political power. You’re about to realize just how much you’re right about that.”
Biden’s attacks come as part of Democrats and their media allies’ seemingly coordinated campaign to delegitimize the high court’s Republican appointees. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett have found themselves as targets of dishonest hit pieces deployed by hack-tivist “journalists” in recent months.
