I think he already had to because of the suspension, but not 100% sure. But also, yes

There is actually a rule that addresses this. It’s called the “rule of necessity”. But still a pretty good post

If you like the idea of the ACLU but not the national leadership, your state chapter (or NorCal/SoCal as appropriate) are probably better and would appreciate it.

I am missing your point about when a dissent is worthwhile, or you are making an unrelated point that I do not see.

Sure, but under that rubric no dissent can be declared potent or not until we’re looking back from the end of time, so it’s not super helpful in the moment.

And more importantly, the president is at any time permitted bring about that state without it being even nominally illegal.

Because the Democratic caucus has a majority and there is no filibuster on Supreme Court nominations...? What point are you trying to make?

Never has been, at least since Brandenburg v. Ohio. Of course, lots of "legal" conduct can still constitute probable cause for an unpleasant visit from the FBI.

the President drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it helps also him get to cabinet meetings on time, so, it;s impossible to say etc etc

As Sotomayor notes explicitly, he can just order Seal Team 6 to assassinate Trump. Giving military orders as Commander-in-Chief is a quintessential executive action.

More than that, I am trying to understand how it would be prosecutable for Biden to order Seal Team 6 as commander-in-chief to assassinate the justices voting with the majority in this case?

The fact that you think the Supreme Court holds trials and/or don’t know the difference between a trial and what the Supreme Court does, means that you do not understand what the court does aside from “vote good or vote bad.” Back off on the advice, or stick to “vote good”.

If the presidential and vice-presidential nominees are from the same state, the Twelfth Amendment states that California’s electoral votes are thrown out for at least one of those offices. Pretty easy to circumvent but it would be a distraction

If you can dig up an example of that with Alito, I will accept it with surprise. But otherwise, yeah sometimes, it happens.
