The reality is that Sotomayor has more information about the thinking of the other justices than Ty Cobb does. So I am going to take her warnings seriously.

Hysterical? No analysis? There’s no analysis needed for the absurd majority decision! Sotomayor stated her dissent loud and clear. These people with their racist and sexist bias kills me. Cobb has no idea of his implicit bias with regard to Justice Sotomayor. Thank you Professor Tribe!

He was disappointed by Sotomayor, but not enraged with the right-wing Supreme Court's decision? You're kidding?

Cobb mansplaining to Sotomayor is laughable and then calling her “hysterical” is rich… this man represented Trump and helped him not face accountability..

Ty Cobb is a disappointment.

Biden is free to use this ruling immediately too.

Ty Cobb played the hysterical woman card on Sotomayor. She was telling us straight up what the decision means.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be responsible for determining if a law is Constitutional NOT creating new laws. The Constitution does NOT give any immunity to the President!

wrong. women are not hysterical when they point out the hypocrisy of MEN.

Despite the constant statements about the importance of making this a case for the ages, it was rather finely pounted to protect one and only one president.

"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. Thomas Jefferson

I am embarrassed to be an American. We are seriously in trouble.

This Supreme Court ruling really puts the recent debate in context. Now more than ever the American people need to put more stock in the moral character of its presidential candidate over other considerations. So to give props to a convicted felon because he is more energetic is not the move.

For those of you who don't think this is serious and could seriously hurt our Democracy will have a rude awakening.

Just remember ''Crimes are being committed by the people who wrote the Laws not the people who break them''

I agree with SCJ Sotomayor! What a disturbing and hysterical ruling. I also agree 100% with Laurence Tribe and respect his legal chops! The SC needs reform and today was the proof.

Did he say "hysterical?" Would he have said that about a male justice?

Yeah, sure, Sotomayor's dissent seemed to use examples that were extreme.... until those examples *aren't extreme.* Have those justices been living under a rock? It would've seemed "extreme" just a few years ago to imagine that the Supreme Court would need to safeguard against a president using his powers to rally a mob to incite an insurrection at the Capitol of the U.S. Congress... *but then it happened.* It would've seemed "extreme" just a few years ago to imagine that the Supreme Court would need to safeguard against a president using his powers to conspire to attempt to send fraudulent electors to subvert a U.S. election... *but then it happened.* It would've seemed "extreme" just a few years ago to imagine that the Supreme Court would need to safeguard against a president using his powers to attempt to bring harm to a political candidate... *do not DARE think that 'that' is not possible of happening.*

Professor Tribe glaringly OUTSHINES Ty. Not even close.

Kudos to Professor Tribe to calling out Cobb!!!

Sotomayor literally wrote many examples on the history of the constitution and reasoning on why she dissented. Yet this man says that there was nothing there. Clearly he didn’t read the dissent.

Ty Cobb’s disappointed with the DISSENT? Perhaps off-brand Gandalf should find a new profession.

Thomas Paine: "For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other."

The separation of powers is exactly what she was addressing. This decision does not really do anything to the idea that there are different situations where a president can claim immunity (i.e. official acts vs unofficial acts) but what it does is create a situation where the "official acts" are greatly expanded, by injecting ambiguity and not allowing evidence or motivation when determining what was an official act vs an unofficial act.

...as Cobb, sensing a change in the zeitgeist, slowly takes baby groveling steps to inch his way back into trump's good graces

3 of the 4 women on the court dissented. The rest were 5 men who did not dissent. That's telling. The “extraordinary rule has no basis in law,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a scathing 29-page dissent that was joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson Sotomayor wrote 29 of the 119 pages!! She gets it, man!

Ty Cobbs word "HYSTERICAL" was definitely sexist and demeaning!! Im so glad Lawrence Tribe said it!!

Ty Cobb- I guess it's off-season for mall Santas.

Dear Jesus, cleanse us of all lies.

i think people in America are referring back to the 1700’s when they say “king” or royalty. that’s what our founders didn’t want & made a new government because they didn’t like how the king had all power over everything & could be as corrupt as he wanted. that’s what they mean.

I agree with Lawrence Tribe.

Trump asked "Where is my Roy Cohn?" He found six replacements.

Why is CNN still paying this tedious Trump lawyer for his biased and dangerous opinions?

Tribe's comments are clear and to the point. Well said sir.

So the deal is going to be, "Call the witness, but do not admit the evidence they bring." Goodbye, America.

CNN: thank you for having Laurence Tribe as a guest. More of him, please. 🙏 also, Jon Meacham, please. 🙏

Wtf has happened to CNN having Ty Cobb on first and then using this fool as a tagline? This is the darkest day in American political history!

Has everyone's brains gone to mush? By denying evidence under official acts for non official crimes in effect makes any criminal prosecution for non official acts a non starter.

I really didn't want to move out of USA

Chatgpt: In summary, while the need for a president to act boldly and without fear is a valid concern, it must be balanced with the principles of accountability and the rule of law. Immunity for official acts can protect the president from frivolous lawsuits and undue legal pressures, but extending this immunity to cover criminal acts, even after leaving office, would be controversial and could erode the fundamental principles of justice and democracy.

B- professor Tribe? Wouldn’t not following the Constitution be grounds for an F-?

Its like taking the checks off of extreme power. What human would honestly not be tempted by it? We better put the power back into the hands of the people while we still can.

Mr. Chief Justice and colleagues, do enlighten us on what substantive meaning is left in the presidential oath, and in the Take Care Clause of Article II.

There should be term limits for the Supreme Court Justice System.

Joe Biden should march the Army on Mara lago just to check it out

Presidential Immunity will drive us into territory that we can never recover from.

He would give his former student John Roberts a B-minus? How about a D-minus?

No one is worried what his opinion is.

Trump vs our Constitution. Pick a side.

Thanks for pointing out the “hysterical” sexist comment.

“Hysterical” is never applied to men

This is not correct, this is not democratic

Powers cannot be considered separate only when the court agrees with the underlying action.

Ty Cobb, I just lost my respect for you. The Supreme court just gave Trump complete immunity. You call it seperation of powers, Its clear it Consolidation of power. Who are you?

Keep in mind that Ty Cobb is not being interviewed because he's an expert on constitutional law, or anything else for that matter. He's being interviewed because he chose to work for Donald Trump during his nightmare presidency. Listening to Cobb on this topic is a gigantic waste of time.

I love how cnn titles this video with the wishy washy crap that Cobb spewed as opposed to the strongly worded rebuttal of Lawrence Tribe. Par for the course on cnn though. 😢

Remember when the rule of law was law.

Santa Claus should stick to Christmas presents

I'm disappointed Ty Cobb doesn't play baseball anymore!

Hysterical?? Wow.

Justice Clarence Thomas didn't get it wrong, he did what he was paid to do

If this decision surprised you, you haven't been paying attention.

Ty Cobb's choice of words is pretty bad. How he hears screaming and hysterics in Justice Sotomayor's words is on him, no one else. She called it as she saw it in plain english so everyone gets it.

Thomas doesn't want a special council handling his and/or his wife's prosecution. LOL Why hasn't he been accountable for tax fraud?

Did he just call one of the justices on the Supreme Court hysterical?

All politicians are skilled with masking personal actions within their official duties. This gives immunity for any actions as long as it has the thin veil of being "designated" as "official". And on top of that, the conversations around the "event" would not be allowed as evidence of the "event" when it is deemed "official".

How often does anyone call a man's reaction "hysterical"? Get it right, Santa.

A justifiably "hysterical" dissent. No joke that the future of the country is on the line.

Hysterical? That description suits Donald Trump's late night toilet tweets, not Justice Sotomayor's stated opinion on a topic of such magnitude.

If Sotomayor was a male this “lawyer” would not had call him “hysterical”

Disappointed in Ty Cobb-s use of "hysterical" and "screaming," - male trope about women. Very dismissive and demeaning of a brilliant judge.

I know Judge Sottomayor . Her parents used to live in Canada , in Atlantic and Labrador 🇨🇦 province .

Maybe Biden could send out seal team 6😂😂

Biden needs to get SEAL Team 6 ready to go

what was the line and how was it fine? I don't know what case is not "an official act" under this ruling. And even then it seems pretty much impossible to try. so where is the line?

So Nixon shouldn’t have stepped down. According to this court, he should have been immune.

In conclusion for the day I apologize but I feel it is necessary I have posted this publicly on Facebook to be disseminated at each individuals own discretion. July1, 2024 Dear World Leaders and Government Officials, I'm writing this letter to address a matter of grave global concern from a humanitarian perspective. The ongoing actions of governments and militaries worldwide have reached a point that can only be described as an alarming crisis of conscience and ethics. It is deeply troubling to witness the continued engagement in activities that contribute to global destruction, seemingly without regard for the devastating consequences on humanity and our planet. From an objective standpoint, these actions represent a horrific abomination that defies basic human decency and moral reasoning. Consider for a moment how we would react if we saw children behaving in ways analogous to current global military and governmental conduct. Would we not be appalled? Would we not intervene immediately, perhaps even seeking professional help or legal intervention to correct such disturbing behavior? The fact that these actions are instead being perpetrated by adults in positions of power is even more unconscionable. It is a damning indictment of our collective moral compass that those entrusted with leadership roles can engage in such destructive behaviors without apparent spiritual or ethical qualms. The disconnect between the responsibility to protect and nurture citizens and the actual conduct we're witnessing is staggering. I implore you, as stewards of your nations and representatives of your people, to cease these detrimental activities immediately. It is time to reconnect with our shared humanity, to act with wisdom and compassion, and to prioritize the well-being of all global citizens and our planet. The world is watching and waiting for a return to reason, empathy, and responsible governance. The time for positive change is now. Let us work together to create a future we can be proud to pass on to the next generations. Sincerely, Steven Dobrovolskis Ruidoso Downs New Mexico USA

The voters must keep Donald Trump and dictators like him from ever being the president.

Ty Cob already getting ready for Christmas.

This is what Alan Dershowitz was saying a few years ago and people thought he was crazy. The Supreme Court agrees with him.

Cobb’s being very careful, he is realizing the wind has changed direction.

What cave did this geyser come out of…. Cobb is a clown…

In case anyone thinks that Ty Cobb is not a completely slimy weasel. Sotomayor's opinion was brilliant it laid out in plain English why the Republican-majority opinion was anti-Democratic, pro-Monarchy, had no legal basis or precedent, and a slap in the face to the Democratic principles of the Founders, who fought and died to escape the very same tyranny that Roberts and Alito just codified as being within a President's rights. So, Cobb is "disappointed" in Sotomayor speaking out for Democracy, is he? What a disappointment of a human being Ty Cobb is.

When will women stop being called hysterical when they're merely outraged?

Oh, an hysterical woman, O.K. Ty Cobb!

Hail to king Biden! He does not have to listen to court.

Did Justice Sotomayor hurt your feelings by telling the truth Mr. Cobb? I applaud her.

"hysterical" is a loaded word, as Ty Cobb well knows

This Cobb is nothing but hot air

Ty Cobb can be disappointed all day long. But the dissent is right on the money.

He actually said hysterical. Wow.

There was no line! And there is no line now!

Heck of center fielder.

So Cobb makes some intellectually vague argument about separation of powers and says Sotomayor is being hysterical , but then says with a straight face that Trump will use this immunity to try and stop his trials which is exactly Sotomayors point !

Thank you, Mr. Tribe.🎉

CNN is dead to America. Ty Cobb is utterly lacking.

Of course, a man would call a woman's dissent "hysterical," but I wonder how he would have characterized a man's reaction? 😮

I am disappointed with Santa Cobb's disappointment. Sotomayor was NOT hysterical ENOUGH. This is a disaster. The scotus did NOT draw any lines between official acts and shit. They left it up to the scotus opinion of what would be official duty and what not.

“Thomas rips appointment…” That corrupt mf should be the first to be replaced. His term should end asap. 2A👏

Ty Cobb is still a Trump toady!
