Jacob T. Levy: Can't be impeached because presidential impeachment has been a dead letter since parties came into existence. Can't be disqualified from office. And can't be prosecuted for crimes committed under color of office.

Can't be impeached because presidential impeachment has been a dead letter since parties came into existence. Can't be disqualified from office. And can't be prosecuted for crimes committed under color of office.

Divine right of presidents

We already act as if the constitution is sacred.

Do you suppose the invocation of prima nocta an official act?

Second Amendment Solution

And doesn’t have to be popularly elected!

Ford: "Voting has never been a crucial step in the process, I've found."

...and to hold this office the only requirement is age, citizenship and popularity. Felon? No problem! Have financial issues that make you a security risk? COME ON IN! And now he can shoot someone in the streets of Manhattan and SCOTUS will say it's an official act.

He literally called that shot 7 years ago, then made it a reality.

Yep. Now his messaging is about revenge, it's easy to see where this is going unless you're in the cult.

Even the cultists are struggling to hide their glee.

Yeah, I went on Twitter for 27 seconds and immediate regretted it. It's 9/11, SCOTUS-style and most people don't realize it.

I he gets back into office, many people in the cult will also suffer.

So, I guess we *are* in "order Seal Team 6 to kill a political opponent since being CoC of the military is a core constitutional function of the President" world.

Yes, we are. As Sotomayor said in dissent, prompting condescension about "extreme hypotheticals" from Roberts.

Trump’s own counsel agreed with most of these hypotheticals!

Given that Trump is Mr Extreme Hypothetical Made Flesh, I am not consoled.

There are always options....

All that remains is for Monty Hall to show us the goat behind door number 4.

Can't Biden now overrule the Supreme Court and order this ruling voided? I mean, what would happen if he told the DOJ to toss the ruling in the trash and ignore it completely? Doesn't this ruling give Biden the power to ignore the ruling? Sorry if it's a stupid question. Non-lawyer here.

He should literally just unilaterally impeach them.

It appears they just gave him a whole lot of power to do a number of things.

The authority to order Judge Chuktan to try Trump on charges that have been voided by the Supreme Court? No. The authority to have the armed forces create six new vacancies on the Supreme Court by assassination so that the ruling will be reversed next year? Yes.

It’s an unbelievably fascinating moment for Biden. He could do something bold and educational!

He won’t and they already knew that he wouldn’t.

We shall see…he just might. He knows the stakes.

Sounds bad when you put it like that. Good thing that the GOP will only nominate the most upstanding, law-abiding, good faith kinds of politicians.

Can't amend the Constitution to fix any of this, either.

It’s a fucking disgrace and a total mockery of everything just and sane. Everyone: vote Biden - or the US will become nothing but a Putinesque pit of nihilistic misery and destruction.

You know what would fix a lot of our problems? If the legal age of retirement was the legal limit for the age of the president. Also if being unable to vote (aka being a felon) also meant you can't run for office.

The only real question is...can Biden assassinate him or did they put in a loophole that it's only fascist presidents that have immunity

How do they envision holding a president accountable? Donor class doesn't like him they withhold donations?

Don’t know that they do.

They really are just laying out a red carpet for that asshole, aren’t they?

Just need some Lords and Knights for the full experience

Nixon was taken down with the cooperation of his party. What changed between now and then? Combination of legalized bribery and greater wealth inequality means both parties are bought by the same people and both need money more than voters

So Biden’s free to counter attack the traitors attempting to overthrow the nation. He must to this now, the Court has freed his hand. Round up every one of them, hold in Gitmo pending military tribunal for treason. Save the Nation! Dave the Nation! Save the Nation!

Dave the Nation! This is the rallying cry!

It is! Dave it. Dave it NOW dammit.

I will die on this pill!

We need t shirts.

lol

Well, he could do something quite bold & funny. 😆 such an interesting moment.

Biden, like the entirety of the Democratic Party, is a feckless coward who would NEVER stand up to the power of Republican REEEEEEEEEEE.

Half the justices who ruled in trump’s favor were APPOINTED BY HIM! If that’s not conflict of interest, then what is?????

Benjamin Franklin supposedly had some ideas about what happens in a republic when you can’t hold the leader accountable but they violate the TOS.

All you guys saying you've got a King: we Brits convicted our King and sentenced him to death. You've got something worse than a king.
