emptywheel: I genuinely believe that Biden should pick a few things and act as John Roberts has permitted he can. Then he can resign on January 19, and have Kamala pardon him, to test the absolute nature of pardons Roberts authorized. If Trump wins, Biden's going to jail anyway.

This is the climate policy we get with a court system invested in a dictatorship of Republicans: the President has total immunity and absolute power...unless he's a Democrat & does something good for the country. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/c...

Judge Orders Biden Administration to Resume Permits for Gas Exportswww.nytimes.com President Biden had paused new natural gas export terminals to assess their effects on the climate, economy and national security. A federal judge disagreed.

If nothing else, it would force them to create some awkward new precedents around what the president is still not allowed to do, which they would then have to even more awkwardly repudiate when Trump tries to do the same things.

I want to see a stack of eo’s. Test this shit, show them exactly what they’ve wrought.

I agree with that. Sad thing is he won’t.

Agree, except Biden won’t go to jail. He has immunity.

That is the paradox and the depravity of the SCOTUS ruling -- a former President has immunity from prosecution under normal due process, but a successor could extra-judicially jail, torture and execute him as long as he claimed it was part of official duties

“There’s no time like the present.”

So many Democrats and Republicans will face jail under Trump. And a lot of CEOs too.

This is the way.

Yes. How about taking Thomas's RV -- and Alito's flagpole -- in civil forfeiture actions?

He’s not going to jail if Trump wins, he will be executed, likely as part of inauguration events and alongside some members of his family.

Yep. Biden should take this opportunity act "boldly and decisively" and tread heavily on their dicks to stop these fascists from seizing power. I see Thomas and Alito arrested for corruption, Roberts for collusion, Mitch & Sedition Caucus for working for Putin. Hell, James Comey while we're at it.
