trump just called for liz cheney to be prosecuted for treason which, according to john roberts, is an official act and would not be subject to criminal sanction

Biden HAS to step aside now because he's against even considering expanding the court.

If we don't expand the court, it's pretty much game over. 20 more years of this court.

You'll need not only POTUS, but congress I think. First things first and that's November. Plus, the clown is still on the hook for his 'unofficial' acts.

I know how things work. I am saying rather clearly, I thought, that Biden has said he won't consider expanding the court. That is the first problem to be solved.

I think the difference in our approaches is that you think there's a better chance of replacing him with someone who is open to that idea and who would win in November. I think we don't know anything about who that would be, their chances but that Biden could be pushed on his position.

I'm not afraid of trying something like choosing a president at the convention, as has been done in the past many times. Makes a lot of click-bait and will be unavoidable for voters to face, and learn from. We have 13 circuit courts; one supreme from each, limit terms.

IIRC, the last time that happened it resulted in changing the rules so that the candidate was chosen in primaries. It was an ugly fight and left the nominee without enough time for an effective campaign.

So the question is whether we’re going to continue to grant legitimacy to these institutions even though they fail us, and the obvious answer, looking to history is: Nah.

I didn't give it legitimacy. I'm just reminding you of the history re: 'It's been done before.'

"Many times"...please list all the times we have replaced an incumbent POTUS via an open convention.

Swapping Biden at this point would be an unmitigated disaster. I do not like him, but people who think you can sub out an incumbent POTUS 4 months prior to the election need to be serious.
