    I mean, Biden has the power to do whatever he wants now and could potentially overturn the results in the interests of national security or whatever. He won’t, but it’s nice to think that he could do something to avert a fascist takeover. Democrats will take the high-road into letting democracy die.

      No, he is only immune for ‘official acts’ and since it is not defined what is and what is not an official act the Supreme Court would be the one who decides if he is immune. Guess how they would decide anything for Biden or how they would rubber stamp everything for Trump.

      The Democrats should have fought the Supreme Court while they had the time. I’m afraid it might be too late now…
