Stack the supreme court to better represent a 50+ state country of 340 million people. Or, as of the recent ruling, use an Official Act or two to fix the fucking courts.
I think this is the kind of situation where you pull out every single stop because it is literally the future of the country. I don’t care what back room deals are being made. I care about there being a future.
You know, rather than having a ruling that is basically “Anything that is an official act is legal and if there is a dispute we’ll eventually rule in favor of the republicans when it gets to us”. Which… opens up the kind of options that this article is saying would help trump even though they clearly wouldn’t.
You really need to read Sotomayor’s dissent in Trump v. United States.
He may need Congress’ “consent” for some things but he can Seal Team Six any Congressperson who doesn’t “consent,” so effectively he can do whatever he wants.
You’re completely missing the fact that the final arbiter of what consists of an “official act” is SCOTUS. They can unilaterally decide (and will) that Biden’s actions are not official acts and therefore not immune. They won’t apply the same standard to conservatives, I promise you that.

I have.

He wouldn’t. 2. If he did he’d be prosecuted. 3. This was never meant to allow Biden any power, R is the in group, D is the out group. 4. Republican ideology doesn’t treat in and out groups the same, the rules are different.
At the end of the day, republicans and dinos are just looking out for their own self interest. I don’t care if we need to rebuild Epstein’s Island and dedicate most of an annual military budget to get them on our side, we do it.
But also? As I have repeatedly alluded to: The Supreme Court just ruled that anything the president does is legal. Up to and including siccing seal team six on a political rival.
Yes, the Supreme Court are the ones who eventually decide if something counted as an official act. But there are supreme court approved ways to create openings to get more legal minded justices on the bench.

Here’s the problem, they understand the power of the Supreme Court. There’s nothing you can offer them to untie this particular knot, none of them are voting to expand the court.
And you continue to ignore the supreme court sanctioned method of “cutting the gordian knot” with seal team six.
So it is very clear you are not arguing in good faith since you continue to focus on how there is nothing that can be done so let’s turn the other cheek so that we leave nice corpses for the republicans.
And you continue to ignore the supreme court sanctioned method of “cutting the gordian knot” with seal team six.
This isn’t a thing. If Biden ordered the assassination of justices he’d be prosecuted by the DoJ and the FBI. You’re insane if you think otherwise.
So it is very clear you are not arguing in good faith
Not arguing in good faith? You cannot give a specific example of what Dems could have done to avoid this or what they can do now. You backed yourself into a corner and are now screeching seal team six nonsense.
Biden wouldn’t do it, Dems wouldn’t stand for it, and SCOTUS wouldn’t sanction it. It’s a nonsense argument to distract from the other vague nonsense you’ve said.
What part of “SCOTUS just made the President a King” do you not understand? Biden could literally kill Manchin (and any other Congressperson who refused to rubber-stamp his plan) and it would be legal.
Polls haven’t shifted one way or the other as of yet. If this does anything, then there might need to be a different conversation.
Biden has been trending down since April and has been behind in the polls since then. His an incumbent who is down in the polls.
How about the fact that he looks confused a lot too? He’s very old and doddering. At his age he couldn’t be a judge in my state, but he can be president?
Reasons like he may not be fit to do the job, he’s trailing in the polls, and is likely to lose?
Such as? Everyone says this but never gives the next sentence, what they should have done.
Stack the supreme court to better represent a 50+ state country of 340 million people. Or, as of the recent ruling, use an Official Act or two to fix the fucking courts.
Needs Congress, and there’s barely a Senate majority. You think Manchin is going to play ball for that? We couldn’t even get rid of the filibuster.
I think this is the kind of situation where you pull out every single stop because it is literally the future of the country. I don’t care what back room deals are being made. I care about there being a future.

Stack the court how? Congress can set a different number, what’s the plan to get it through the House and Senate?
Like what? You don’t have the numbers. This is my issue, this is the equivalent of saying “stuff, just do stuff”.
The President no longer needs to get anything through Congress. He can just do it unilaterally and dare SCOTUS to overturn its own recent opinion.
But he actually can’t. He can’t expand the court and he can’t seat justices. You’re just saying nonsense.

So please stop.
