@crobruncato.bsky.social: The rest of the government failed to impeach Trump after Jan 6. I think the guardrails that I used to believe in are almost gone or don't exist anymore.

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:

it's been so blatant that even some of the usual fawning Court coverage has noted the extent to which the process has favored Trump it's long since time for the rest of the government to stop tolerating this shit

The rest of the government failed to impeach Trump after Jan 6. I think the guardrails that I used to believe in are almost gone or don't exist anymore.
