Biden wonāt abuse this power because he isnāt a complete trash person and SCOTUS knows it. They know that the only party that will abuse this power is the Republican party.
So until this trash opinion is undone, every single election is an imminent threat to democracy.
They should be terrified of what Trump would do to them with this power, though. History has shown time and time again that, just because Trump likes you today, that doesnāt mean he wonāt fire you tomorrow. Or in this case, should I say āfireā you tomorrow.
Leopards wonāt eat their faces. Or if it seems like they will, theyāll just do what he wants. They may have tried to maintain appearances of doing law, just conservatively, during his presidency, but since then theyāve abandoned it and are just a kangaroo court. You donāt declare the president a king and precedent optional while still maintaining some pretense of justice. They think theyāve won and now is the time to put their plans into motion.
Yes, exactly.
