The media has been saying that the Supreme Court decision exempting presidents from legal action concerning actions they take in their official duties will make Trump a dictator is a blatant lie. It has been generally understood for over two hundred years that the President was immune from prosecution by civil courts for carrying out his official duties, until Democrats began attacking Trump with frivolous lawsuits to turn voters against him in an outrageous attempt to influence the election. It would subject the president to tremendous pressure since he would be afraid to act on difficult decisions because he would be constantly afraid of getting sued after he leaves office.  The decision is to Biden’s benefit since his crimes are openly known (refusal to close the border as required by law, influence peddling while in office, supporting terrorists with taxpayer money, using the justice department to investigate and prosecute those who oppose him (particularly Christians who oppose abortion, and parents who object in school board meetings), promoting abortion in violation of federal law, forcing federal agencies to circumvent State laws, and forcing school boards and State agencies to violate their State laws).  Biden has followed President Obama’s lead and enacted executive orders without authority and in open violation of federal laws and the Constitution and threatened States with law suits if they didn’t comply, even though executive orders have no force of law and do not override State laws. He has distorted the truth and sought to scare uninformed voters and attacked the separation of powers which seems desperate and unethical. He has also sought to increase the Supreme Court to enable him to pack it with judges who will ignore the Constitution and make laws from the bench like Roe vs Wade which the framers feared most and why they made justices positions for life. If he hasn’t been able to get things by legal means, he has sought to do it by force.  Those sound more like something a dictator would do.  They attacked President Trump for canceling President Obama’s executive orders that violated the Constitution and federal law and claimed he had no authority to do so, yet feel President Obama had the authority to issue them.  Either the President has the authority or he doesn’t.  The Constitution says he does not. President Obama  violated the constitution by issuing them, so President Trump was well within his authority and had a responsibility to remove them and restore the rule of law. In addition, President Trump was within his authority to pressure State and federal agencies to obey the law and carry out their duties in accordance with law. The Constitution gives Congress the power to impeach a president if he neglects his duty or violates his oath of office, but to open him to lawsuits by any and every stray court would tie his hands and make it impossible to function. That is why it is so important to elect representatives  to Congress who will carry out the law and the will of the people. They are responsible for seeing that the President carries out his duties faithfully and they have been negligent in doing so.
