It impacts the future of the election interference case.
You're viewing a single thread.
The only sane thing to do, full on assassinate, or kidnap in secret and report youve assassinated, all the justices that ruled in favor of presidential immunity. Nominate a new set of justices, with confirmation under threat of further assassinations, bring the case back before the new supreme court to rule against presidential immunity
Yes. Remove the conservative justices, institute new ones, undo all the bad SCOTUS decisions of the last 4 years, implement standards/ethics/accountability laws for the justices, put greater limits on their powers, and then remove the president's "king" status. Also put Trump in jail for life. It is the only way to save this country. Today, democracy in the US is completely gone. It's over.
You just described how to destroy the country, lol. Jfc, do you even hear yourself?
Personally, I don't care if Trump and conservatives go to jail. It's not like any of their politics is anything more than imaginary white grievance and 4th Reich. They aren't a legitimate political party. They're like one of the few illegitimate political party I can count on my hand and feet.
It doesn't matter. Democrats. Republicans. Neither would be serving the people anymore they would just be fighting for power.
One of the parties have people like AOC, and Bernie Sanders. Those with you know, history of fighting for people. The other? Can't name any one.
.... Bernie is an independent
Who caucus with the Democratic Party.
Can you imagine?
I think democrats, today, do try to govern. Their attempts often feel like they are just going through the motions. It must be hard trying to do your job when you see everything crumbling around you and you have a reality TV show host threatening to tear down everything you're working on.
If Biden, today, decided he wanted to extra judiciously "save democracy" the democrats would terminate any moral high ground they ever claimed to have. They would see revolt from outside and from within. Their only choice would to be bring everyone to their heel.
We know there is no such thing as a benevolent king. If I had to choose between DNC or GOP dictatorship I'd prob go DNC. Except I've watched the DNC pretend their morals are superior. I watch it as they crush us all for the sake of decorum. To the DNC we are just a wall dressing while they enjoy all the privilege power affords them. Given absolute power, they abandon trying to do the right thing and dictate to us how capitalism is the only way.

I don't.
Then you're not paying attention. The bills getting passed, the executive orders, and the deals being made are all for your benefit. We can argue about how impactful they are but it's policy that benefits you that isn't a slight to others.
Then you’re not paying attention.
No, I am. It's why I think they're doing the bare minimum to say they tried. And the genocide that they're supporting doesn't benefit me in any way.
I think they’re doing the bare minimum to say they tried
This is my exact meaning. We have no conflict.
Edit: Please, preach about the genocide in Gaza. Go right ahead, do it here and now. Everyone knows the stakes by this point. Let Gaza be the straw that nosedives america into fascism dejure. The supreme court just enshrined it. The plans are laid. If you can't stomach Gaza you are definitely not prepared for what comes next.
Yes. The supreme court just made it legal for the president to destroy the country by doing all that. Do you see the problem?
You have no idea what you're talking about. "The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official,"
Fuck out of here with your ridiculous hyperbole.
Justice Sotomayor wrote a dissent that basically says that anything can be an official act (with enough creativity i'm sure) and it's not hyperbole.
No one is going to believe your arguments over the dissenting judges.
It is also very telling you've responded to no comments mentioning what the dissenting judges have said.
I have nothing to say to fascist pigs pretending to be judges.
The dissent is in bad faith and should be discarded. The president enjoys no authority to assassinate anyone and therefore enjoys no immunity for doing so. The dissent is not serious and should be treated as such.
The president enjoys no authority to assassinate anyone
obama thanks you for not remembering that time he assassinated a 16 year old american citizen.

Based upon what?
The bar for internet rando invalidating legal expert is pretty high BTW.
Based on the incredible hyperbole written in the dissent. Legal expert turned partisan hack quite quickly when they start talking about assassinations.
