“I will not use my office to the fullest extent allowable but my opponent will” is a really bad takeaway actually. Just pack the court man.

Like, expanding the Court isn’t even an abuse of scope. It’s a precedented remedy.

Too bad it requires congressional approval...

Not anymore it doesn't. Sounds like just having a few people show up in black robes and telling SCOTUS they've been placed there is totally legal now as long as it's an official order.

It isn't subject to criminal prosecution but that doesn't mean it actually will do anything. SCOTUS didn't say they'd rubber stamp anything a president did, just that he can't be prosecuted. Those justices would have no authority and no lower courts or states would listen to them.

Oh I know in all reality you're correct but it's funny to think about like...9 random judges showing up and sitting down like nothing happened.

Says who? The Court? Congress, who has to get it enforced by The Court? The Court that’s had 7 more Justices seated? Is it criminal he didn’t get their advice and consent? Who’s gonna stop him? The Court?

Arrest 6 of them, install 6 new ones, have them issue an opinion that the POTUS has a fucking scope of official duty that makes defeating the checks and balances on the executive by other branches outside the official scope of office, cite the incident as proof.

Then have the 6 resign, and Biden releases the prior 6, re-nominates them, and lets the Senate confirm them. Or not.

I have no idea, you are just a random anonymous person on an app that said 3 total words to me. At least other people are explaining their opinions in my replies in a polite manner.

So you're saying that Biden couldn't order the execution of 3 or 4 judges with complete immunity?

Imagine showing up on July 1, 2024 and saying that our leaders should confine the scope of their actions to what the Supreme Court says is legal.

lol. Would be nice, but no. A president is still limited in scope of power by Article 2.

Yeah - SCOTUS needs to get smacked the F back down but this congress wont do it.
