‘Literally The Definition Of Democracy Working’: Ex-US Attorney Roasts Dems For Attacking SCOTUS After Immunity Ruling

Former United States Attorney Brett Tolman laughed at and criticized Democrats on Monday for attacking the Supreme Court after its presidential immunity ruling.

The Supreme Court on Monday found that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” in office following former President Donald Trump’s appeal to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case against him. Democrats criticized the decision as damaging “democracy,” with Tolman on “America Reports” reacting by saying that the ruling is exemplary of democracy functioning.

“Well, it’s literally the definition of democracy working,” Tolman told host Sandra Smith after laughing. “It is separation of powers. It is judges that, just recently, Judge Barrett and Justice Roberts, were praised by the left for some of the decisions that have come out. We saw several unanimous decisions. They had no issues with any of those, but now when there’s a very important case that divided on political lines, they have an issue with it.”

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pledged on Monday to file articles of impeachment against the justices, saying in a post on X that the “Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control” and that the ruling “represents an assault on American democracy.”
