Chair of the Sewer Maintenance Board: I wish Marc Elias were more active on here - my question I want to ask lawyers is: Assuming we defeat trump, survive his followers' terrorism, and retake the supreme court: How do we override this insane ruling? Do we have to ask Biden to commit a small crime, then charge him?

A Constitutional amendment can override SCOTUS, can't it?

Oh yeah that definitely. And honestly that might not be that hard. A "the president is not a King" amendment could get enough popular support even in red states that it could get ratified - especially if Biden wins!

Yes, but that takes years

That was my immediate thought, but I think, especially if Biden wins, you'd get 37 states to sign on to ratify it pdq.

I think you'd get a bunch more some time after that with some smart shoe-on-the-other-foot arguments. All those "if they can do this to Trump they can do it to you" things on a very personal level.

Maybe. Most people think it won't happen to them until it does.

37 seems unlikely, given the number of states that jumped on the ban abortion bandwagon
