Bill Clinton

Critics are voicing frustration at the US Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling, arguing it blocks investigations of a sitting president on the grounds it could distract him from official duties, and even shields prosecution after leaving office for official acts. Commenters contrast this with Bill Clinton, who continued counterterrorism work against Osama bin Laden while in office, and allege a crypto-related scheme is being protected by the same ruling.

Commentators are arguing that immigration laws passed in the mid-1990s under President Bill Clinton laid the groundwork for the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies. The piece contends that decades-old enforcement frameworks gave later administrations broad tools for detention and deportation, and calls for repealing or reforming those statutes to change the course of US immigration policy.
