I want everyone to think about what Trump will do with explicit absolute immunity from prosecution and the full power of the presidency of the United States of America
those are the stakes in November, full stop
look i'll be clear, I will be voting, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same, against donald trump and the end of democracy in this country in november. I do not care if that means i'm voting for a man who is literally dead.
the decision lays out - explicitly in the case of the DOJ and implicitly in case of the military - that a president can order the prosecution of or a military strike on anyone he doesn’t like and fire anyone who doesn’t comply until he finds someone who will
he may not be prosecuted for this
“democrats have to win every election forever” is not a sustainable solution and it is quite literally the one we are facing unless we break the power of this court
The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever.
Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.
We must focus. There is not enough time to reform the court before the election. If trump wins we will never have the chance. Like it or not we are beaten if Biden is not re-elected and if Congress doesn’t have a Democrat majority
Luckily, the Court has just declared that it's entirely legal for the sitting president to have them all removed from office without justification.
It would be part of their official duties, after all.
