Wow, the SCOTUS has really overstepped its bounds. I wonder what the legislative and executive branch’s responses are going to be?
The Supreme Court has handed Biden a loaded gun and dared him to shoot. He won’t, of course, but I think he should.
America is autocratising. That we have no say over. But I would rather have Biden as dictator than Trump. The best case scenario here is that Trump loses and Biden dies or retires after winning, and then maybe a Harris presidency can restore some semblance of normalcy to this godforsaken place.
Erhm
If the Dems werent so perpetually useless, they would immediately jump on this to get shit done, then when republicans cry and whine, push them to actually pass legislation that explicitly denies this. So they are stuck between letting Biden do whatever he wants to and stopping him, but also dooming Trump and/or whatever republican candidate down the line they want to be able to exploit these powers.
But they wont. Joe and his handlers will keep doing nothing and expecting everything to just magically work itself out. And then in January we will have a fully unrestricted God-king Trump.
(Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)

Oh, you think Joe hasn’t done anything?

If the polls bare out, Biden is going to lose states where Senate and House Dems win with wide margins. That, alone, is going to send the QAnon folks into a frothing lather and trigger a cascade of Trump Admin Constitutional Crises, as people argue that the election was rigged to favor the Deep State.
Republicans know they’ve got the police and significant chunks of the military on their side. So they’re just going to do whatever the fuck they want at the state and local levels. Trump can do whatever he damned pleases at the Federal level, knowing the Dem Congress will just whine and pound sand. And the MAGAts are going to scream about how anything the GOP can’t get done fast enough is being sabotaged by secret evil leftist sabatores, invoking wave after wave of new University pogroms and bureaucratic purges and police raids of liberal social clubs.
The Democrats are not incapable. They are malicious and complicit.
It’s time to stop pretending Democrats are just stupid well intentioned people
Yes they did, absolute immunity for powers given in the constitution and presumptive immunity for all official acts.
They sent Trumps issue back to the lower courts to make a ruiling based on their clarifications.
As an Irish American, I’m not sure King Biden would welcome the title…
What did I miss? Why are there posts about Biden being a king?
Supreme court ruled that presidents are immune from obeying the law.
Basically, they went against a millennium of legal precedent and overturned the magna carta.
I saw that ruling. But there are multiple posts mentioning Biden as king as if there was something broadcasted or viral about it. Is there more?
I had to look into how magna carta is relevant and only see a vague connection about going back to pre-American laws.
Our legal system is a continuation of the English common law system of the American colonies.
The magna carta falls within English legal history and is widely viewed as the first step in regulating the behavior of the king.
This supreme court ruling seems to allow the President to break the law.
It’s my own comparison, but I think it’s quite good.
I could also say that they’ve made the presidency into a dictatorship (in the Roman usage of the word). That’s actually unfair to dictators since their unlimited power was narrow in scope, and they could be prosecuted when they left office. Ceasar was the last Roman dictator.
