ironically the only thing restraining biden from drone striking the insurrectionist supreme court justices is that the justices he would appoint to replace them would hold him accountable

Ok, but I've been assured by all pundits that he's on death's door already, so why not go with plan yolo?

i mean, to be honest, the reason to not go with plan yolo is that part of the whole project is to fix the authoritarianist damage that trump did and continue to struggle towards a democratic society with meaningful rule of law, and drone-striking political opponents doesn't help that at all

If the only thing keeping the authoritarian damage in check is hoping the other party never wins an election again ever, I feel like fixing it is probably a lost cause at this point.

How many people would not have been killed had a union of nations you know, done drone strike on the reichstag in 1937 (had the technology been there) There is something to be said about the surgical strike of a bunker busting cruise missile.

Joe Biden has given his life to public service. We can only hope he continues to do so.

He's old. He's had a good run. Go out in a blaze of self-sacrificial glory. A far far better thing etc

He should take one for the team, he's only got a few years left anyway!

Well, and minimal human decency. But as you noted earlier the entire republican gamble is that democrats will always be held in check by that while republicans never will be again.

His successor could just pardon him as thanks for saving the Republic.

Would be a rather dramatic way to do the "step aside" thing.

Well, just need six new justices with an expensive view of the Ex Post Facto clause

The prosecution would take many, many years to work its way up, he'll be in Political Valhalla by the end of it

Dude’s 81, he’s had a good run. A patriot would take one (or more) for the team

Well, what are they gonna do, fire him?

Not true, the new justices would uphold the prohibition against ex-post-facto criminalization.

He should do it, take his medicine, let himself be convicted and then pardoned by President Harris.

Eventually. When he’s like 95 years old.
