So if Joe Biden declared today that November’s election is canceled and ordered the military to keep him in power, would that be an “official act”?

If he can get 34 senators on his side, yes.

This MAGA SCOTUS, in their effort to save Trump, has blown up democracy. The 5 justices feel so distressed - evident by Alito’s upside down flag - and no longer believes in America. The same world their kids & grandkids live in. How do u tell ur kids u gifted them a dictatorship?

Isn’t it simpler than that? If Biden orders the DOJ to arrest all six conservative members of SCOTUS for treason, that’s an “official act” and within his scope as head of the executive branch, no?

Ordering the FBI to arrest corrupt members of the Supreme Court is entirely an official act, and he doesn’t even need evidence now. Let’s go!

Only SCOTUS gets to decide what is and is not an official act. So, no.

No, because he’s a Democrat, as SCOTUS will clarify in an expedited ruling issue 10 minutes after the events.

SCOTUS knew when they made this destructive ruling that Biden is an honorable man and will not abuse his power. republicans already do and have abused their power for decades.

Does it mean that charging Clarence Thomas for falsifying documents is no longer a political act? It seems that they are saying there are no longer political acts as long as the President can make up an excuse that the act was necessary.

Any other Democrat President might.. Joe Biden will not do shit. I hope the young people who are going to live this and more taken away, do not Vote, not with people who helped Biden given it all away. His Co Chair Chris Coons and him want 20th Century back too.

If Biden declares himself president for life and calls it an “official act”? It wouldn’t fly. He hasn’t packed the courts with crooked judges who would go along with it.

And yet for this the SCOTRP would adhere to the constitution even tho' most of the time they ignore it. The rules will apply to Dems - but not the gop.
