The U.S. Supreme Court ruling that former President Donald Trump has limited immunity in his election interference case has liberals urging President Joe Biden to take advantage of additional powers under now-protected "official acts."
"Seriously, Pres. Biden needs to take this little 'immunity for official acts' protection out for a little spin," said writer Charlotte Clymer.
Podcaster BrooklynDad posted on the social media site X, "It’s OFFICIAL: The Supreme Court has just disgraced itself by ruling that Presidents do have SOME immunity from prosecution for committing what they deem official acts. President Biden’s FIRST act under this new reality should be to postpone the election indefinitely until we can figure WTF is going on."

National security expert Marcy Wheeler noted the ongoing battle between the Justice Department and House Judiciary and Oversight committees over recordings of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
"Biden should just order them destroyed," she suggested.
"Now that Biden has unlimited immunity," gun safety activist Fred Guttenberg wrote on X, "he should declare the gun industry as terrorist organizations and as a domestic threat."
Columnist Aisha Sultan agreed that she also wanted to see some action coming from the current White House.
"If Joe Biden doesn't use this SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity on 'official' acts to take some drastic action, then he and his entire administration and campaign are addled in truly epic ways," she wrote on X.
"Biden's first act with his presidential immunity: March the FBI into Mar-a-Lago, Bedminster, and Trump Tower right now, finding every single last government document, every computer, every second of security camera footage, everything -- in the name of national security," Trump University prosecutorTristan Snell suggested.
Snell also suggested that Biden "create four new seats on the Supreme Court, by executive order. He can add a binding ethics code as well. And a special counsel to investigate corruption on SCOTUS while he's at it."
Monica Lewinsky pointed to "an interesting idea" from Jeri Dube, who said that "Biden should delay the election until all Trump's indictments are adjudicated."
"Biden should issue an EO stating that his Administration does not believe it can rely upon the scope of immunity conferred on it by SCOTUS and accordingly will not take that into account when making decisions," suggested national security lawyer Bradley Moss.
"Dems in Congress should immediately propose a constitutional amendment to overturn the ruling and clarify the presidential immunity issue. It’s a messaging campaign. Abortion, democracy and a stable economy. That’s your campaign for the next four months."
