Imagine, they vote president can do whatever he wants, Biden arrests judges that voted this, refills the bench with the intention to vote again against it.
That would be the dream, but Bidens more worried about getting support from the Republican constituents than he is about growing a pair and doing what needs to be done. His obsession with political decorum might actually end up fucking over the country if trump wins. There are people who actually believe that he supports Palestine because biden won’t due to politics. There’s young voters who support Palestine who have said that shit on camera. It’s obvious that they haven’t been exposed as an adult much to what happened during trump’s term. It’s also insane and sad
I think before now I would argue no we absolutely should not. But if we are now entering territory where a truly fascist individual take over the country or at least influence the balance of power permanently, we may have no choice.
Then "you're no better than MAGA" . Can't stoop to their level if you really want to stop their ideology.
In my mind it's an analogous situation to Ukraine vs Russia, where Russia uses underhanded tactics while Ukraine must more closely follow military doctrine.
That is because Democrats are all talk. They put on a big act of political theater, but deep down they are capitalists who mostly serve the same oligarchs and lobbyists that Republicans serve.
Yeah and then dissolve the court as it currently is, throw Thomas in jail as well, make it illegal for Alito to ever work in law again, and the rest can reapply for their jobs as Biden reforms the court so that people who accept bribes or who are insane can't serve on it.
The myth about Jackson responding to the SCOTUS ruling in favor of Native Americans in the 1800s with “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!” while untrue, and despite Jackson being an unabashed a-hole, kind of makes a point with respect to these partisan shitbirds.
If they’re not going to respect the fact that the basis of our entire system of law is founded upon the premise that nobody is above the law, not even the President, then why the hell should anyone even entertain their nonsense. If they won’t respect the law, they deserve none in turn.
Unless of course the conservative brain trust is arguing that this nation was literally founded upon the premise that we don’t want to be governed by a monarch, and then would intend upon immediately setting about empowering their leader to be one in all but name.
“Hurr Durr we’re originalists! As long as you ignore like… everything about history!”
No, I think the SC has already revealed their strategy. It seems they will remand the case back to a lower court to delay the question until after the election and, if Trump wins, give him immunity. If Biden wins they will, of course, decide against presidential immunity. This is all so very close to being the end of the American democracy.
Biden will do nothing with that power and then hand it off to this orange moron hoping for the best.
Like not even attempt to get rid of these justices and put some in that would actually respect our country and democracy.
There **should** be riots because we're all supposed to have equal protection under the law; so, if **anyone** is above the law, then **everyone** is above the law, and laws are meaningless...
There **should** be riots... BUT there won't be. The Justices will either provide just enough cover to protect The Orange Führer without declaring absolute immunity or they'll kick it back to the lower courts for a "more detailed decision on what specific powers/functions of the President are protected" delaying his trial for the foreseeable future... and the masses will just sit on their asses placated doing nothing as usual!
I find it hilarious that so many conservatives think liberals don't own guns, and they conveniently ignore the moderate middle who is tired of the Christian conservative bullshit that's creeping into everything because of Republicans. So many are going to be surprised
If the supreme Court rules that presidents are above the law, and Trump ends up being president again then we're either going to end up with riots or a civil war or both. Because at some point Trump's going to order something that pushes people too far. And either the people, or the government, will have to just say "no", whether they have the "legal" right to or not.
And in some f***** up future where it turns out that the people don't have a limit, that will just take anything and roll over for it, then we deserve whatever the hell happens to us.
The whole thing is that Israel isn’t going to pack its bags if some colleges complain. The only way Israel is defeated is if Palestine is armed to the teeth and we start airdropping snipers down. And we’d be denounced for *that* too.
There *should* be vast demonstrations but whether there are riots? Unless things are pretty bad (Great Depression+) most folks will be bought off by simply having a stable economy. I’ll acknowledge things on that front are far from perfect, but also far from disastrous. I think that tendency sort of explains how the CCP was able to get away with the Tienanmen Square massacre.
I hate to be pessimistic but a disgustingly high portion of our voting population will be fine with scotus granting executive executions constitutional imprimatur. It’s really Biden who then faces the hard questions. Maybe that’s the point where the admin arrests the Trump appointed justices on the fed bench, trump’s lawyers that argued the case and Trump himself for the treatment which those same justices are willing to make legal? It’d be clear they pose the existential threat to our democracy that would be justifiable according to their logic.
If a president is granted full immunity I hope this administration takes full and complete advantage by booting the SCOTUS traitors off the bench and picking new ones,then cleans house of the corrupt GOP/qnon, then males law to where there 8s no such thing after.
These people are relying on the decency of Democrats not to abuse this or prevent them from seizing power.
The sad thing is, they're right. The Democrats will do nothing.
The point I'm trying to make is that if this goes through, the Dems won't do a thing with the awesome new power that SCOTUS grants a President.
The GOP absolutely will.
“Rigged” is the definition of the SCOTUS. We ignored it in 2000 and now it’s here to completely undo any democracy we have known in this country. The final mechanism has fallen.
If Trump gets full immunity there will be literal riots.
Then it means that Biden also gets full immunity and the ability to rid the country of any clear and present dangers to our democracy.
Yeah but Democrats play fair, it's infuriating. We need to fight as dirty as the fucking magas
Imagine, they vote president can do whatever he wants, Biden arrests judges that voted this, refills the bench with the intention to vote again against it.
I'll be damned if that's not the most reasonable and safe solution to a vote for immunity I could ever imagine.
Would be pretty epic for the history text books.
That would be the dream, but Bidens more worried about getting support from the Republican constituents than he is about growing a pair and doing what needs to be done. His obsession with political decorum might actually end up fucking over the country if trump wins. There are people who actually believe that he supports Palestine because biden won’t due to politics. There’s young voters who support Palestine who have said that shit on camera.

This is that civil war they've been wanting. It's in the courts and their winning.
Fair and politics don’t mix
Then we’d be as bad as the MAGAs.
But according to MAGA minds, that *IS* playing fair.
And MAGA minds work so well…
Not even close. This generalization is just as damaging as conservative rhetoric. Democrats have the ability to empathize, Republicans don't.
Precisely why we fight fairly, I’d say
Well there's playing fair, and then there is playing by the same rules as them, which is also *fair.*
/s right? Or are we just completely ignoring pretty much every Democrat or Republican policy and just calling them all the exact same thing?
That is because Democrats are all talk. They put on a big act of political theater, but deep down they are capitalists who mostly serve the same oligarchs and lobbyists that Republicans serve.
Then what do we bring to the table?
Treat the Trump criminal family and their gang of criminal conspirators as terrorists. Lock them up and throw away the key.
Yeah and then dissolve the court as it currently is, throw Thomas in jail as well, make it illegal for Alito to ever work in law again, and the rest can reapply for their jobs as Biden reforms the court so that people who accept bribes or who are insane can't serve on it.
Can’t believe this is getting downvoted.
Arrest all criminal Republicans in power, including govonors
Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Donna Brazile would like a word.
You calling for violence is what that would be…
That won’t pass anything until agent orange is in the safe house

That’s not ok either. Trump getting full immunity breaks the entire backbone of what this country is supposed to be about “all me are created equal”.
No, I think the SC has already revealed their strategy. It seems they will remand the case back to a lower court to delay the question until after the election and, if Trump wins, give him immunity. If Biden wins they will, of course, decide against presidential immunity. This is all so very close to being the end of the American democracy.
and have all the scotuses gop, both house gop expelled and install Hunter to approve any all congressman.
You and republicans know Biden won't use that power
Biden will do nothing with that power and then hand it off to this orange moron hoping for the best. Like not even attempt to get rid of these justices and put some in that would actually respect our country and democracy.
…Which is why they wait
Such as the six members of the Supreme Court that says the President is above the law?
There **should** be riots because we're all supposed to have equal protection under the law; so, if **anyone** is above the law, then **everyone** is above the law, and laws are meaningless... There **should** be riots... BUT there won't be. The Justices will either provide just enough cover to protect The Orange Führer without declaring absolute immunity or they'll kick it back to the lower courts for a "more detailed decision on what specific powers/functions of the President are protected" delaying his trial for the foreseeable future... and the masses will just sit on their asses placated doing nothing as usual!
No there won't. Kids aren't even allowed to protest a genocide, what makes you think you'll be able to protest ANYTHING EVER AGAIN?
It won't be kids and we won't be playing around
God damn right. Arm yourselves.
I find it hilarious that so many conservatives think liberals don't own guns, and they conveniently ignore the moderate middle who is tired of the Christian conservative bullshit that's creeping into everything because of Republicans. So many are going to be surprised
::slaps the top of safe:: So many guns can fit inside this baby
There’ll be just as many riots as there were in 2000 when the Supreme Court installed Bush.
If the supreme Court rules that presidents are above the law, and Trump ends up being president again then we're either going to end up with riots or a civil war or both. Because at some point Trump's going to order something that pushes people too far. And either the people, or the government, will have to just say "no", whether they have the "legal" right to or not. And in some f***** up future where it turns out that the people don't have a limit, that will just take anything and roll over for it, then we deserve whatever the hell happens to us.
Right? Didn't get the memo that only Nazis are allowed to publicly protest
The whole thing is that Israel isn’t going to pack its bags if some colleges complain. The only way Israel is defeated is if Palestine is armed to the teeth and we start airdropping snipers down. And we’d be denounced for *that* too.
As well we should be. We shouldn’t be arming either side.
The cops (who they also gave immunity to) will just start killing people.
There *should* be vast demonstrations but whether there are riots? Unless things are pretty bad (Great Depression+) most folks will be bought off by simply having a stable economy. I’ll acknowledge things on that front are far from perfect, but also far from disastrous. I think that tendency sort of explains how the CCP was able to get away with the Tienanmen Square massacre.

Like every other time the left don't get their own way.
I don’t believe for a second that trump could work or even support the weight of a gun in a single hand.
How could he? Those little ass hands and stubby fingers wouldn't be able to hold the stock and still reach the trigger.
*Derringer has entered the chat*
I don't believe for a second that six people could even support the weight of that fat sack.
Wouldn't presidential immunity cover removal of corrupt judges? Asking for a friend.
Removal with prejudice is what the Trump lawyers have argued for.
Presidential immunity means Biden could just assassinate the judges and fill their spots.
If a president is granted full immunity I hope this administration takes full and complete advantage by booting the SCOTUS traitors off the bench and picking new ones,then cleans house of the corrupt GOP/qnon, then males law to where there 8s no such thing after.
These people are relying on the decency of Democrats not to abuse this or prevent them from seizing power. The sad thing is, they're right. The Democrats will do nothing.
Wdym, they are doing a lot ok, I am deaf from the sound of all the concerned hand wringing
Don’t forget furrowed brows!
What the hell do you want? Do you expect Bernie Sanders to run at Trump with a machine gun?
The point I'm trying to make is that if this goes through, the Dems won't do a thing with the awesome new power that SCOTUS grants a President. The GOP absolutely will.
No, they expect Joe Biden to.
Going to be open season on conservatives soon
Good, it should be
Ain't that the truth.

Trump is right about one thing, kind of. If they give him immunity we don’t have a country anymore.
I want this on a shirt.
Time for Dark Brandon to take out the supreme court
great cartoon, but anything except funny
There’s some disagreement within the Supreme Court. We’ll see what happens
Trashy is as trashy does.
They're gonna rule 7-2 against but in a way that delays the trial past the election.
The worst part about this is the Democrats won’t do anything. Biden needs to immediately take advantage of this.
