Judges can appoint deputies and jail the offenders

Well, they can't jail Trump because he has immunity for official acts, but his OMB Director or other members of his administration have no such immunity.---Jason

they should still charge him (IMO) and let the judges decide if this is "official act" or stomping on the Constitution...

They will jail the heads of depts or the actual perpetrators doing the dirty work.

Question: Does SCOTUS granted presidential immunity mean even if the votes were there, he is unimpeachable?

Yes, they were paid off and they gave him complete immunity... But we should tie his administration up in the courts for every time he steps over the line.

No, SCOTUS said that impeachment was the legal remedy.

Do not say it can't happen! The first rule of resisting a tyrant is DO NOT CONCEDE BEFORE THE FIGHT!

We have some republicans who oppose what is happening that can potentially be peeled away from the MAGA train. We need to write and call them, urge them to stand up and protect our Democracy and the Rule of Law. They need to see that the Peoples' will is firm, and that we aren't going to allow a coup!

Meanwhile, get on Bluesky, get organized, get you dissenting voice out there on all your Social media, among your friends, and in the legal system. Many organizations are already bringing law suits, there are judges ruling against Felon47's bullshit. Keep the pressure on! Call your legislators and tell them you are their constituent, and expect them to support legislative action to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION and protect our rights!!

He can still be impeached but who is going to do it? The democrats donтАЩt have enough votes and the republicans donтАЩt have the spine.

He is getting a lot of public criticism, and there are still old-school Republicans who don't agree with what he's doing. Some of them might finally grow a spine. DO NOT CONCEDE BEFORE THE FIGHT.

What is he waiting for? Get him NOW. Prove to him that he cannot ignore the judiciary! If the SCROTUS protects him, then get every single appointee who is ignoring this order three squares a day at Riker's Island until a compliance order is worked out. And for God's sake, take that ridiculous cowboy hat away from the puppy killer!
