Richard Nixon v. A. Ernest Fitzgerald
- P in this lawsuit seeks relief in civil damages from a former POTUSA
- claim rests on actions allegedly taken in the former P's official capacity during his tenure in office
- D was fired during departmental reorganization because he said the whole thing had to be taken back to formula... I mean the project was over budget and there were a number of issues!
- reports of "disloyalty" surfaced and were given as the basis for wrongful termination
- well, thats too bad because the President fired you in his official capacity and he's immune from prosecution for this type of shit
- "entitled to absolute immunity from damages liability predicated on his official acts"
- just because he's immune here doesn't mean that we can't try to impeach him
- this immunity doesn't leave the people without another venue for remedy
- WHITE BRENNAN MARSHAL AND BLACKMUN DISSENT
- this is some bullsmith guys
- this is why we all came to america, to make sure we didnt have a completely immune king
- way to fuck it up
Yeah, way to go Powell, Rehnquist, Stevens, O'Connor, and Chief Burger. We're gonna have a fucking monarchy and palace guards now. I hope you like being serfs, motherfuckers.
