Will Biden do anything about an illegitimate scotus helping Trump become a dictator before November? If not he should step down because he's not the man for the moment

The game theory really sucks in an election year.

Party politics sucks in an election year

What’s he supposed to do? They had their chance, and the SCOTUS commission flubbed it. But even if the commission hasn’t been set up to fail, they didn’t have 50 votes to end the filibuster. And now they don’t have the House. The *only* chance we have is for Ds to get the trifecta again.

And then to march and send letters and target the holdouts….

You're thinking about the old rules. The new rules are power is everything. Do you think Trump will whine about a filibuster? Mail letters? The game changed and democrats won't see it until the possession changes again

So what are you proposing, exactly?

(And I don’t disagree with you about the GOP, I just don’t know what Biden is supposed to do about this ruling. Order the district judge to ignore it?)

The supreme court's power ends at the sidewalk if the rest of the government doesn't enforce it. Let them enforce their edicts

I’ve called for Biden to refuse to follow SCOTUS rulings before, but it makes zero difference for Trump v. U.S.

He could stop collecting student loans debt. He could provide abortions in red states on federal property. Don't like it? Impeach him. OH WAIT... he's immune now

Biden’s actually done a lot to push abortion availability, but I think you may not understand what today’s decision does, or how much power SCOTUS reserved for itself to say “sorry, doesn’t apply here.”

How do you think they can enforce literally anything? Be specific

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you calling for an extra-judicial trial of Trump?

He can still be impeached. Though even the spineless democrats in Senate won’t convict him

Are you saying that the Democrats could impeach and convict Biden if he did these things (as a way of playing hardball in the face of an impending Trump tyranny), but that they’re too spineless to? Or are you saying that the Democrats are too spineless to impeach and convict Trump a… third time?

I mean there are some Senate Democrats who would think they must “uphold the rule of law” against their own president, sort of how Republicans did against Nixon. But now Republicans will never do against Trump. Just not enough of those weasels to convict Biden. I assume
