Don Zeko: I'll need to stew on this for a bit but what is the argument against Joe Biden ordering DOJ to indict Clarence Thomas

I'll need to stew on this for a bit but what is the argument against Joe Biden ordering DOJ to indict Clarence Thomas

the only good one is that he should be ordering seal team six instead

Tired: Biden should step down because he's old Wired: Biden should step down because he's too nice to order a drone strike on Trump and the 6 conservative justices using his official constitutional powers

just have it both ways: “ah shit our candidate had to step down bc he called too many times for drone striking the opposition”

Doesn’t the posse comitatus act prohit that? Presumably, the fbi has a swat team capable of doing the job instead

good news: it doesn't matter!

what a fucking obscenely insane sentence lmfao

Damn, they should make you the white house counsel. You’re good

The court will immediately, in 5-3 opinion, declare that's unconstitutional.

Which isn't really an argument against it, I guess!

So we need charges against more of them

6-3; you think Thomas would recuse?

Facts

Can't vote for that if multiple of them are in jail

Nothing in the constitution that says they can't vote from jail

Can't vote if you're in solitary. No communication.

Or releasing Thomas’s tax returns and then instigating a mob protesting outside his home.

NORMS baybee

Based on current SCOTUS interpretation of bribery and corruption statutes, I'm not sure there's a case against Thomas. And it's fuckin' grim that *that's* the problem with the plan.

And? Indefinite detention without trial of a SCOTUS justice might be a crime, but not if you're the president!

only one way to find out

Indict? What the argument against inviting the entire conservative majority for a prolonged stay at Guantanomo Bay? I’m John Yoo wrote something that would justify it.

It would be uncouth.

There isn't one, he's just a weak and pathetic coward. I so badly wish it wasn't too late to replace him without it leading to the end of democracy in 2025

Why not just order a drone strike, tbh. Extrajudicial assassinations of American citizens has been an “official act” for years.

It would violate norms, and not be in the spirit of comity and collaboration. I'm not sure why he & his party seem so overwhelmingly attached to that argument, but there it is.

The only good argument is that he could do even better, with a Predator drone.

Only problem with that is Thomas wouldn’t face a trial for at least a year.

Charge all 6 of the clown conservative "judges".

Do it and watch how fast they can act.

It would interfere with the dnc donor class

Well, whatever Biden can do to shore up our constitutional order, he has 4 months. Because shy of beating Trump by 100 electoral votes, this court is going to hand the presidency to Trump. There can be no doubt about that now.

the republican accusations of racism would be unbearably annoying
