Josh Lasser: Yeah, I don’t understand how any of this is okay and why anyone who believes in democracy, no matter where they exist on the political spectrum, would think it okay.

Question: After SCOTUS ruling, can Biden now order DOJ to prosecute Manchin/Sinema on trumped up charges if they refuse to vote to end the filibuster and appoint four new justices? Wouldn't order to DOJ be absolutely immune, and wouldn't threat to the senators be at minimum presumptively immune?

Can Biden order Harris to not certify any results from this year’s election if Biden isn’t given enough electoral votes to win?

Would probably be presumptively immune, as far as I can tell

Yeah, I don’t understand how any of this is okay and why anyone who believes in democracy, no matter where they exist on the political spectrum, would think it okay.
