Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office.
There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.
Pack the Court with 1000 new justices, reverse 80% of its recent decisions, and then strip it of 99% of its jurisdiction.
This Court is absolutely lawless and beneath contempt. And should be treated accordingly.
I suppose a loophole here for lower courts to exploit is "what counts as an official act?"
Like, maybe ordering the assassination of your political opponent isn't "an official act." Maybe taking a bribe from Saudi Arabia isn't either.
(Obv SCOTUS could say they ARE, but until then....)
I really, really, REALLY hope that there is a large group of Con Law scholars and lawyers working on what a coherent form of resistance to SCOTUS looks like.
Something like the Originalist project, which took years, but laid an intellectual groundwork that has worked.
I think the lower courts should ignore the SC, and rule how they always have before. If the SC wants to take each and every case and overrule it, I guess that's their prerogative but the lower courts don't have to obey in advance. This is what the 5th Circuit has been doing forever anyway.
