Official guilt has finally reached the locus of the Supreme Nirvana of Immunity (Trump v. USA).
Dredd Blog has urged, for upwards of a decade, that we follow the trail leading to Immunity Nirvana:
"Many American people are walking around who participated in and/or advocated torture.
They are immune from prosecution even though they violated the law.
Others who committed war crimes are likewise immune from prosecution.
"Too big to jail" and "too big to fail" are other ways of saying "immunity."
Many people who do not take Civics or American Government classes during their education will not understand the concept of "sovereign immunity."
Today's post offers an easier way for amateurs to track down "tools" of the Epigovernment as well as tracking down the Epigovernment itself.
This is offered to replace the more difficult way, which is "follow the money", because that way has become very difficult, what with all the secret offshore banking systems that are now operational:
The mantra for such investigations used to be "follow the money", but (since that requires looking into offshore banking systems) for we amateurs there is an easier mantra: "follow the immunity."
Ask "who has committed these crimes against the American people and their Constitution?"
Then list their names, and then finally ask: "have they been held accountable?"
If not, follow their dealings and their associates through the shadows, because since they are immune from prosecution for their crimes they have committed with impunity, they are in with those who have pulled off the coup (A Tale of Coup Cities - 4).
Cheney is immune, which means he is above the law, and he knows it."
(Follow The Immunity, 2013; cf. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Less recently Law Professor E Chemerinsky pointed out:
"In recent years, the Supreme Court has substantially expanded the scope of state sovereign immunity. These decisions provide an important occasion for a reconsideration of the entire doctrine of sovereign immunity. This article argues that sovereign immunity is an anachronistic concept, derived from long discredited royal prerogatives, and that it is inconsistent with basic principles of the American legal system. Sovereign immunity is justified neither by history nor, more importantly, by functional considerations. Sovereign immunity is inconsistent with fundamental constitutional requirements such as the supremacy of the Constitution and due process of law. This article concludes that sovereign immunity, for government at all levels, should be eliminated by the Supreme Court."
(Against Sovereign Immunity, 2001, emphasis added; cf. Historical Approach to the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity). Immunity is the dark flip side of the virtue of accountability (Accountability Is a Four Letter Word, 2009; When Accountability Is A Plague, 2009).
When the supremes in this year's Trump v. USA case (link in first sentence of this post) used the term "immunity" it was and always has been a synonym for:
(Synonyms for Above the law). Bye, bye to the virtue of integrity (Here Come De Conservative Judges, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).
