    while I’m not trying to excuse biden of all people, who’s responsible for the situation we’re in… but in reality he can’t do shit with the supreme court decision.

    the supreme court didn’t really say anything a president does is legal. they said it would still be illegal but we will stop you from prosecuting them of they’re republicans.

    the qualifications were purposely vague enough to allow republicans prosecute democrats and the supreme court hold up the prosecution saying it doesn’t qualify, and throw it away if the prosecution is in the opposite direction.

      Yeah but fuck it. Biden should make them prosecute him. Or more ideally, jail the justices who ruled in favor of giving king-like powers to a president.

      Their decision was so outside the bounds of democracy that something needs to be done.
