Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman is fuming, and honestly, it’s a little entertaining.
Goldman, who once played sidekick to Adam Schiff during the impeachment circus against former President Donald Trump, is now outraged over Special Counsel Jack Smith being sent to the sidelines. This is the same Jack Smith who tried and failed, to pin Trump down with charges that many Americans saw as little more than political hit jobs dressed up as legal cases. Now, Smith’s dismissal marks a major turning point—one that leaves Goldman visibly steaming.
In a statement dripping with frustration, Goldman suggested that the Supreme Court had somehow elevated Trump “above the law.” But here’s the reality check: the Court didn’t do that. Instead, it reaffirmed a cornerstone of the Constitution—presidential immunity for official acts. Sorry, Congressman, but that’s the law, not some Trump-specific carve-out.
As Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung succinctly put it: “Today’s decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump, and is a major victory for the rule of law.” He’s right. This wasn’t just a win for Trump; it was a win for the Constitution and for every future president who won’t have to worry about frivolous prosecutions for doing their job. It’s also a wake-up call for anyone trying to weaponize the justice system for partisan purposes.

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling cited Article II of the Constitution and made it crystal clear: no president can be prosecuted for exercising their core constitutional powers. That’s not shielding Trump; that’s protecting the office of the presidency from becoming a political punching bag. The opinion carefully outlines that while presidents aren’t immune from prosecution for unofficial acts, actions taken within the scope of their duties as Commander-in-Chief are off-limits. This isn’t a loophole—it’s a safeguard for the separation of powers.
I am officially NOT GUILTY on all counts. All of these WITCH HUNT cases brought by Jack Smith and other corrupt prosecutors against your favorite President, Teflon Don, have been dropped! We cannot continue to prosecute political opponents in the future!

Goldman’s tantrum isn’t surprising. After all, the left has been desperate to keep the narrative alive that Trump is some sort of existential threat to democracy. But the Court’s decision throws cold water on that fantasy. It reminds us that the Constitution still matters, even if it’s inconvenient for Democrats nursing grievances from the 2016 election.

Jack Smith’s irrelevance, coupled with this reaffirmation of presidential immunity, is a double blow to the anti-Trump crowd. It’s also a sign that the political weaponization of our justice system is running out of steam. Maybe it’s time for Goldman and his colleagues to refocus their energy on something more productive—like working for the American people instead of waging endless battles against Donald Trump.
