Nancy Pelosi Slams Supreme Court: 'Embarrassment to Our Founders'

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered a sharp rebuke of the Supreme Court, calling the institution "an embarrassment to our founders" over its handling of presidential immunity cases.

"The Supreme Court has been an embarrassment to our founders, just to have immunity for any president, whoever it might be, and to do so and take forever to do it so that justice could not be addressed one way or another," Pelosi said during a recent interview with The New York Times.

Her comments came in response to the Court's July 1, 2024, decision, where a 6-3 majority established that former presidents have presumptive immunity for official acts during their tenure, with absolute immunity for certain "core" presidential functions. The ruling specifically granted immunity for official Justice Department interactions, including actions related to election results.

While criticizing the High Court's approach to presidential immunity, the former Speaker acknowledged her well-documented differences with the Republican presidential winner but attempted to steer the conversation toward broader institutional concerns.

"My thoughts about Donald Trump are well known. I'm not an admirer of his lack of patriotism and the rest, but I'm not here to go into that," she said.

She can follow her passion full time now...drinking.

You want to know what REALLY would embarrass the founders?

Knowing that their progeny kept electing Nancy Pelosi to high political office would likely do it.

Nancy is directing her anger at herself onto others.  She is single-handedly responsible for the Dems 2024 shallacking.

San Francisco Bay values are not American values

Christ, 37 years in public office down the drain. Might as well join the f***ing Peace Corps.
-Pelosi on her future.

Trying to picture the reaction if a James Madison or Thomas Jefferson got one look at Nancy Pelosi - eyebrows raised above her hairline, 84-years-old with dark brown hair, doddering around, drunk as a f***ing skunk - and she was once the Speaker of the House. They might be beyond embarrassed. They'd be appalled.

Perhaps there would be cries of ‘Witch, Witch…burn her! 
 
I can dream, after all she is responsible for a lot of evil and suffering.

This shows how little she knows about the Founders.  That the President be immune from criminal prosecution for his ministerial acts is very much in keeping with their intent.  That is why we have impeachment:  misconduct in office is a matter for political judgement, not ordinary criminal procedures.  SCOTUS did not give the President immunity from prosecution if he poisons his wife, robs a bank, or kills someone in a hit-and-run accident.  They gave him immunity for things done in exercising his Presidential powers.

You know what else is embarrassing, Nance? When your administration posts a photo of a Chinese fighter jet to honor America's veterans. That's kind of pathetic.

I would have thought this is unbelievable, but the DOD has been concentrating on DEI while Biden has concentrated on enriching China and his family

Hey Old Drinky, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot and Maduro aren't this nation's Founders.

[Smokin Joe]

Will someone tell that sot that our nation's founders would not have had to hear the drunken babbling of a female former Speaker of the House?
