thank you for joining us this evening. it took nearly a month to get it, but we finally have it. the d.c. circuit court of appeals has ruled on presidential immunity. donald trump s last best attempt to evade a criminal trial for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. in his unanimous ruling written by all three federal appeals court judges overseeing this case two biden appointees and one appointee of president george h.w. bush. those judges spell it out in no uncertain terms a former president cannot be prosecuted is worthless. quoting from the ruling, it would be a striking paradox if the president alone is vested with the constitutional duty to take care the laws be faithfully executed where the sole officer capable of defying those laws with impunity. we cannot accept former president trump s claim that a president has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power in recognition and implementation of electio
his authority. but the big guy says this fight isn t over. you know, these republican officials just couldn t bear the thought of providing relief of working-class and middle-class americans. we won t stop fighting for you. we will use every tool at our disposal to get you the student debt relief you need and reach your dreams beard why did you give millions of borrowers false hope? i did not give false hope come up with republicans snatched away the whole they were given, and it is real, real hope. overstep your authority? i think the court misinterpreted the constitution. joey: but maybe biden should save some of that anger for nancy pelosi. the supreme court actually using the former speaker s own words in the ruling. people think that the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power. that has to be an act of congress. joey: yeah, as you can imagine, the media
