Question: After SCOTUS ruling, can Biden now order DOJ to prosecute Manchin/Sinema on trumped up charges if they refuse to vote to end the filibuster and appoint four new justices? Wouldn't order to DOJ be absolutely immune, and wouldn't threat to the senators be at minimum presumptively immune?

What bugs me about this, from Scalise, is that it’s exactly the opposite of what they said! They gave a green light for presidents to have a direct hand in prosecuting (or worse) their political opponents!

You mean there are people on the Supreme Court acting in bad faith??

Let Biden order DOJ to prosecute Scalise and see what he thinks then

they established that only norms guide the rule of law - norms which democrats abide by and republicans do not.
