If       that is the case, Congress cannot provide a remedy against Presidential       misconduct, and the criminal laws of the United States are wholly inapplicable       to the President. I find        this approach completely unacceptable. I do not agree that, if the Office of       President is to operate effectively, the holder of that Office must be       permitted, without fear of liability and regardless of the function he is       performing, deliberately to        inflict injury on others by conduct that he knows violates the law.        >        > The Court nevertheless refuses to follow this course with respect to the       President. It makes no effort to distinguish categories of Presidential       conduct that should be absolutely immune from other categories of conduct that       should not qualify for that        level of immunity. The Court instead concludes that, whatever the President       does and however contrary to law he knows his conduct to be, he may, without       fear of liability, injure federal employees or any other person within or       without the Government.        >        > Until now, this concept had survived in this country only in the form of       sovereign immunity.        >        > Indeed, the majority turns this rule on its head by declaring that, because       the functions of the President's office are so varied and diverse and some of       them so profoundly important, the office is unique and must be clothed with       office-wide, absolute        immunity              ---------                     In United States law, absolute immunity is a type of sovereign immunity for       government officials that confers complete immunity from criminal prosecution       and suits for damages, so long as officials are acting within the scope of       their duties.              --------              This part:        "so long as officials are acting within the scope of their duties."              Show me where in your job description your duty is to:        -illegally surveillance me        - illegally arrest me        - falsely accuse me       - ignore completely all my rights        - rob me         - blackmail me and extort ( using illegally taken videos during illegally       surveillance- not sure if considered porn revenge even!!)               And so on !               When I see all of the above in your job description or any paper proving       committing crimes is a scope of your duty ?        Then you can count on your immunity!               Nobody is above the law!        Equal protection of the law implies equal punishment !               Ok!?        Nobody is immune to crime !!!!!!        OK?
