While President Joe Biden recently said that “no one is above the law”, in response to guilty verdicts in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, his administration is seemingly committed to shielding Israel from accountability at any cost - even if that means tearing apart the rules-based international order.
Biden has so far not only refused to support the ongoing case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), but he has actively rejected the preliminary findings of the World Court determining that Israel is “plausibly” committing genocide.
On 10 June, an appellate court in San Francisco will have the opportunity to demonstrate that indeed no one, including the president of the United States, is above the law.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, representing plaintiffs Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCI-P), Al-Haq, Palestinians in Gaza and Palestinian Americans, will ask a panel of judges to reconsider the district court’s decision to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to stop the US government from transferring more weapons to Israel during an ongoing genocide.
Whoever wrote this is completely ignorant of everything we’ve been talking about since the Trump crimes broke:

tl;dr:
“A sitting president of the United States is granted immunity for Official Acts taken as President.”
Biden, supporting Israel, is an official action.
Ergo, whatever Israel chooses to do with that support is NOT on Biden.
Trump, making porn star payments, or witholding secure documents, or trying to overthrow an election, are NOT official actions.
