Question: After SCOTUS ruling, can Biden now order DOJ to prosecute Manchin/Sinema on trumped up charges if they refuse to vote to end the filibuster and appoint four new justices? Wouldn't order to DOJ be absolutely immune, and wouldn't threat to the senators be at minimum presumptively immune?

The mistake there is thinking that the decision is now part of the rule of law. This court has clearly shown it has the willingness to reinterpret legal doctrines, original legal meanings, and facts. It’s safe to assume they would find a way to make anything like that, if done by Biden, illegal.
