i think the best way to understand the supreme court's conduct in trump v. united states is as an explicit effort to intervene in the 2024 election on behalf of the former president. it is a gross abuse of power on par with dred scott and deserves to be met with sanction from the elected branches.
My thoughts on the oral argument and what the Court is likely to do:

even if we avoid the worst consequences of this decision — which, as rick says, involve trump getting elected and then pardoning himself for his attempted coup (and likely trying again) — the court's actions should be seen as grounds for dramatic action to curb its power

Actually I would argue that agreement fully with Trump is a better outcome than this. At least then Biden could yolo for an off chance of preserving our democracy

Biden is not going to attempt a Leroy Jenkins.

He should, 4 years of authoritarianism including reshaping the court with members who will reign in his power and then retire after 4 years in Bermuda. I'm not saying it's a good outcome, just a less bad one!. Also Biden would never do this unfortunetly
