This is the climate policy we get with a court system invested in a dictatorship of Republicans: the President has total immunity and absolute power...unless he's a Democrat & does something good for the country.

It’s a dual edge sword. Imperial presidency when GOP is power and rule by right wing courts when dems are in power after gutting Chevron.

Republican SCOTUS just gave Biden power to say “no” without fear of prosecution.

First off, Texas has been ignoring a SCOTUS order for some time now so there is precedent for President Joe Biden to ignore this order. Second, immunity. So fuck SCOTUS. They no longer represent our country in any way shape or form.

Biden should laugh in their faces and dare them to do anything to him when he refuses to carry out their order. SCOTUS has no way of enforcing their decisions. That is the job of the Executive branch. To whom they have given total immunity. Oh, the irony!

I'm shocked they made it through the entire story without discussing his age even once.

It's the judge's ruling. Let him enforce it.

It is all just Constitutional Calvinball. The Supremes know they can rely on Dems not to abuse the absurd powers they grant, because we always uphold the Marquis of Queensbury rules even as they shank us.

Listening to 54 Pod opened my eyes to this - the judges pick the outcome they want and concoct nonsensical “arguments” to justify it. Republican justices serve the Republican Party and a right wing movement with an unpopular agenda nearly everyone detests.

The hypocrisy of the energy sector cannot be understated. These are strategic resources.

SCOTUS just said the president is king. Maybe Biden should be like, “Off with his head.” Trump wldnt get to be first prez to shoot somebody in the middle of 5th avenue & get away w:it. Using police powers to enforce policy might colorably be an official act. /s for those who should know better

Oh look, they want their cake and to eat it too. Why should he stop? What are they going to do, write a sternly worded letter? He's got presidential immunity now, according to SCOTUS. If democracy has to fall, at least Biden can try to do something good for as long as he has the means.
