    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.

          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.

              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.

                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.

                    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.

          Yes. The supreme court just made it legal for the president to destroy the country by doing all that. Do you see the problem?

              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.

                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.

                  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.
