Congressman Bob Good of Virginia was chair of the GOP Freedom Caucus with a solidly conservative voting record. He supported Ron DeSantis in the primary, and Donald Trump went after Good, demanding he be primaried as a RINO. It had nothing to do with Good's view or voting record.

Good lost the GOP primary, so here is my question for Republicans: When voting for a candidate for congress or the US senate, which is more important: the candidate's views and voting record (if he's held office before) or his loyalty to Trump?

US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts

-The U. S. Supreme Court found on Monday that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken as president, but can for private acts, in a landmark ruling recognizing for the first time any form of presidential immunity from prosecution.

The justices, in a 6-3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, threw out a lower court's decision rejecting Trump's claim of immunity from criminal charges involving his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

The court's six conservative justices were in the majority and its three liberal justices dissented.

"We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office," Roberts wrote.

"At least with respect to the president's exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute. As for his remaining official actions, he is also entitled to immunity," Roberts added.

Donald Trump's EXACT QUOTE to a "Faith & Freedom" meeting of conservative Christians whom it was reported responded with raucous laughter at the proposal.

I think the migrant guy might win, that’s how tough they are.”
