Effectively, the fucks on SCOTUS have already given him practical immunity. The rest is scribbling.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 4:07 pm If these power crazy maniacs decide that tfg should have immunity, Biden should lock up each and every one of them and throw away the key. He'll be immune too. Start over. Appoint new justices, don't bother with senate confirmation, and move on from this horrible chapter in history.
Because with such a decision, nothing will matter anymore.

These decisions could incentivize voters to swing the House. I hope. At least those who haven't been dropped from the rolls.

Outside of my family, you guys, and two or three friends, no one I talk to has any clue what SCOTUS does. My perfectly reasonable massage therapist can't understand why Biden "let" Roe fall; had no idea that SCOTUS was invovled.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 2:42 pm These decisions could incentivize voters to swing the House.

Jackson provides a roadmap to Congress to fix this mess. As if we had a functioning one.

"When [the president] uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority's message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

Biden needs to order Seal Team 6 to take the conservative justices into custody and transfer them to Guantanamo. Forever.

I am oddly angry with the various lefty legal talking heads who predicted that Roberts would rise to the task and give Chutkan the go-ahead.
It's an interesting psychological reaction, to be most angry at those nearest to one's own opinions, when one feels those nearest have let one down.

The conservative supermajority creates a sweeping new kind of "presidential immunity" that will insulate MANY of his allegedly criminal acts from indictment or prosecution. Just huge.
Justice Sotomayor's dissent is one of the most terrified and terrifying pieces of judicial writing I've ever encountered—she lists the criminal acts that presidents can now take with immunity and says "the president is now a king above the law." https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf

I'm joining the chorus of voices calling on God Emperor Biden to openly assassinate the conservative Supreme Court Justices, as an official act to protect the country. Of course.

It will come down to judging whether or not any presidential act is in his official capacity or not. And THAT ruling will come down to whatever court it's in. So if Project 2025 become an official presidential doctrine, then all the horrors contained therein will be legal act of the president.
Can Biden appoint "acting" Supreme court justices, like Trump did with cabinet members? No need for senate confirmation.
