After the Court’s decision yesterday, I think there’s an argument from necessity for Biden seizing Trump and trying him by military tribunal, given the sudden unavailability of Article III courts. Plus, itʼs just the sort of thing they’ve authorized an active and energetic chief executive to do.

There's an argument for anything now, but he won't do it. I wish I found that admirable but I'm scared of what's going to happen in November with the way some people who should know better have been talking. It's like everyone is sleepwalking towards a cliff.

This. How many thought Roe was the worst from Trump packing SCOTUS? Biden refused to pack it to restore balance; what do you think of that inaction now? What in a few years' time? Trump wants to be a dictator. People also didn't believe what Hitler said in Mein Kampf until it was too late.

It's not really fair to say Biden "refused" to do something he didn't have the votes to do. So much criticism of Democratic presidents seems to be "he's a wizard who can snap his fingers and solve every problem, but chose not to out of sheer malice or incompetence. Why would he do that?"

Well now the "rules" have changed, perhaps Biden should take one for the country, use the presidency's new immunity to remove the corrupt SCOTUS members to restore logic & integrity there, even if the resultant SCOTUS would overturn that overly-broad immunity & result in him being convicted?

This situation is scary. I worry that there's no way now to avoid democracy dying in the USA. If Biden uses his new immunity that wouldn't necessarily stop it. This is an awful situation SCOTUS have created.
