It seems incorrect to read #2 as anything other than "we'll have more for you later, we're working on it" and I would recommend that they should be very diligent on it because of the amount of people freaking out about what's pretty normal language here.

Once again, the speed of a campaign and the speed of governance is so much slower and deliberate than the speed of posting specifically for reasons like this.

I really wish they had a plan for it as soon as they granted cert but that’s just not what I get to have

But also like, what’s the plan? Not like I expect you to have it, but like plan implies something that’s going to counter this action, maybe entirely, and what’s the plan that gets courts to say oh, you’re right, we can just lay that immunity decision to the side?

The problem is that support of Democracy involves respect for institutions. There is a difficult needle to threat that is “the institutions have fallen into rot and need to be cleaned up but not replaced”. Because if the idea is we need to replace the institutions that is some sort of revolution.

I don’t need them to end the Supreme Court, but it’s easy enough to say the Roberts court is disgraced and must be defrocked

“These justices have betrayed the American people, and their oaths to the constitution. I ask for their resignations, and I encourage Congress to take action to remove them.” Then name everyone except ACB, throw them off a bit

Alito and Thomas are the obvious ones for corruption. Would also be a nice time to be able to pull out definitive proof of who leaked Dobbs, if we were doing the TV version of this.

Alito Thomas and Roberts for indulging them. Ironically let’s the trump judges off the hook

Wonder what would happen if Biden called out George W Bush by name for appointing them

I agree that is how you get there. But again, it is a narrow path and I think that “Biden respects the institution of the Court” is not in conflict with that idea.

I agree, it just hasn’t happened yet and it wasn’t in the chamber ready to go when this came down
