Donald Trump Says Fake Electors Scheme Was 'Official Act'
Donald Trump Says Fake Electors Scheme Was 'Official Act'
The Supreme Court has ruled that former presidents are immune from official acts undertaken during their presidencies.
Speaks for itself. We've been beyond satire for a long time but this one still got me.
You're viewing a single thread.
If Trump is reelected, there's about to be a whole lot of people within official act range.
The Supreme Court members who made this decision are in official act range right now at this moment. Donald Trump is in official act range at this moment as well. Not to draw conclusions but I'm not sure how serious the Democrats are about staying in power.
"They go low, we go high."

The should just be honest:
“Yes this is bad, but we might want to use this power ourselves so we won’t do anything to reverse it. You just need to vote so only WE have the power to use it.”
Honest question: What should democrats do to reverse the Supreme Court?
Kill or forcibly resign everyone on the Supreme court who voted in favor of the decision, appoint new justices, and have it overturned.
More realistically? Add more members to the Court so they're the majority and then overturn it.

This will at best take a LOT of time. Congress is not famous for their speed.
At the worst it is politically impossible.
So how is this realistic?
What you said first can probably be done, even if it does break the democratic norms. This latter option seems unrealistic to me.
Bare minimum Biden needs to declare a state of emergency, a Constitutional crisis, and talk to us on TV about what his administration is doing to handle the crisis firmly and expeditiously. Anything less is irresponsible.
The people in Biden's admin are smarter than myself. All my simpleminded self can think of is using the power of the official acts against the SCOTUS itself. If Biden's White House has better ideas, get on TV right now, and tell us what they are and what is the White House doing about SCOTUS and the nearly unlimited expansion of the presidential powers.
Pretending we aren't in a Constitutional crisis right now is political malpractice.
This isn't business as usual, President Biden.
99% of democracies give up right before hitting it big and concentrating supreme power in the hands of a benevolent dictator.
Examine this change of logic. The democrats want a mandate from the people before they act antidemocratically? So that they can maintain the highground when they do an inherently lowdown thing? And they could do it now but they want a blue election first? Are you a snake eating its own tail?
Even the superrich aren't safe.
