Not that anyone particularly cares about original meaning, but think folks should still say it out loud: For all of the things that are unclear in the founding documents and unknowabilities of what the Founders intended, "the President can kill anyone or commit a coup" was *never* legally arguable
Yea, a lotta problems with the Constitution that’d be nice to fix, but this isn’t one of them. This is a problem with the court, and can only be fixed by fixing the court.
I mean, we gotta win the election, or debating how to fix it is moot. If we lose the election, Trump will be completely off the chain, and “fixing” it may be more of a… generations long problem.
Yes we have to win the election.
That being said:
This has gone beyond the power of an election to fix and it's dead certain that a GOP Congress will refuse to ratify a Biden victory. We must now assume the SCOTUS will be participating in a state delegation poll gambit to throw out the election.
No, I mean, if Biden wins the election, I don't think it would be a GOP Congress certifying the election.
It would be a Democratic Congress, because I don't think there's a path where Biden wins 270 electoral votes, but the GOP wins control of the House
I think it's technically *possible*, but very unlikely. I think if Biden gets to 270 EV (especially, given the polls of him running behind Democrats generally), that I just don't think it's a plausible outcome.
