We no longer have a real Supreme Court. We have a MAGA institution that runs defense for Trump and unilaterally writes laws against the will of the people. These partisan hacks in robes just threw the Constitution out the window and handed a huge win to their convicted felon presidential candidate.
Supreme Court says Trump has immunity for official acts in landmark ruling on presidential powerwww.cbsnews.com The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that former President Donald Trump is entitled to immunity from federal prosecution for official actions he took while in office.

This is the most blatantly partisan and constitutionally unfounded act by this court since they handed the presidency to George W. Bush. It is a drastic departure from previous understandings of immunity -- a favor done by MAGA justices, for a MAGA president.

We need Democratic leaders in Washington to act immediately to rein in this court. But we also need to be clear that the only long-term solutions are more justices appointed by a Democratic president, and reform achieved through a Democratic Congress.

We cannot afford to give Republicans another four years of shaping this body. We have justices who have admitted to being Christian nationalists, who’ve supported Trump’s insurrection, who’ve accepted massive corporate bribes from billionaires with business before the court.

And that’s just what we know from media investigations. The Supreme Court of today is fully an arm of the Republican Party, and the only remedy in our hands is an electoral defeat for that party. All the alarm bells are ringing. The time is now.

No, the Supreme Court just handed the current president a very different remedy: pack the Court, declare it within the scope of his official duties, and force the current majority—which has neither legitimacy nor an army—to live with it. So that's what all of us should demand, including Indivisible.
It's been that way for years. And the Court just handed the President the means to do it: just do it. Don't wait on legislation. Appoint new justices and have the military escort them to their seats. Call it an official act as Commander-in-Chief, an emergency measure to thwart a judicial coup.
