"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

It's kind of amazing how short people's memories are: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/tru...

Top Republicans back Trump’s efforts to challenge election resultswww.washingtonpost.com Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other GOP officials offered support for the president’s attempts to undermine faith in the outcome, despite the lack of any evidence of widespread fraud.

Criminal law backstops everything. If you can't apply it against the president (under Trump v. United States) or against the president's subordinates (given the pardon power and the likely extension of Trump v. United States under the next Republican president), no one but the president has rights.

"they'll never overturn Roe vs Wade!"

Odds are, it's probably worse.

I wonder if Chris Mosier will be welcomed in female bathrooms by JKR and her merry band of phobes? Without being harrassed (challenged) about his right - duty if they get their wish - to use private female spaces. And don't give me any "exception!" when anecdotes are all terfs have for argument.

I've heard that the severely psych damaged person is beating a drum for a military tribunal of Liz Cheney. WTF is that about? I know why he wants to do it, but why 'military tribunal?' f'n weirdo.

My best guess is that he thinks that means he can dictate the outcome (and execute her after the verdict).

I see. Well, he just gave a preview, didn't he?

C’mon, next you’re gonna tell me some Prez might suspend habeas corpus. Whatever.
