Trump's Jan. 6 Speech Not Covered By Immunity: Judge

President Donald Trump’s speech in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, was not an official act and is thus not covered by immunity, a federal judge said in a March 31 decision.

“President Trump has not shown that the Speech reasonably can be understood as falling within the outer perimeter of his Presidential duties,” U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled.

Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, was given to a rally at The Ellipse, about 1 mile from the U.S. Capitol.

Lawmakers and others sued Trump, claiming his speech incited the crowd to go to the Capitol and riot.

Trump had sought a dismissal of the lawsuits, arguing he is entitled to immunity for official acts as president and that the speech was an official act.

Supreme Court justices ruled in 2024 that presidents enjoy immunity for core official acts, and presumptive immunity for acts within the outer perimeter of duties, but that unofficial acts are not covered.

I guess that Judge Mehta didn't get the memo from John Roberts...these rogue federal judges just keep giving him more and more headaches, and make him look stupider and stupider whenever he claims that they are "doing their best in good faith."

First of all, This makes we wonder about the "wisdom" of the ruling.

Can the good judge think of a time when a president is in good health and conscious when he is considered not on duty?  Like when he's taking a sh*t, is he relieved of his duties until he's finished?  How about when Bile Clinton was partying with his Bimbos,  Did the VP cover for him until he was finished?  When presidents took vacations at Camp David, did they leave messages to not disturb, they was on vacation?  Even when mostly brain dead presidents, like Joe Biden, were screwing the country up, was he given certain times when he wasn't considered C in C?
