This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

Civil war is inevitable now. Individual Americans need to decide their own laws to protect themselves against a tyrannical and bribed Republican elite. Buy a weapon. Learn how to use it. When the MAGAs come for your family, don’t be shy in protecting yourself.

I really though the Court wouldn’t hand him this power. I thought they’d recognize it as fully surrendering to Trump, and that in a second term, if the gave him this, they wouldn’t retain much of their power

Why his supreme court appointments were not voided is beyond me. Why they ever passed muster in the first place is just insane. And now we all reap the consequences.

And this is why so many states have been so busy rewriting their “approved” history books. They fully intend to repeat what happened in mid-1930s Europe.

I don't have any idea how to create such a thing, but seems like a good idea to build a GOTV campaign around the slogan "Democracy begins with D", encouraging folks to vote a straight D ticket.

A second administration did not need this ruling, except perhaps to improve the odds of being one.

This is all illegitimate though. I don't think we should treat it as anything more than an illegitimate act of madmen. Since they have the levers of the system, we don't currently have a solution but they have essentially broken the constitution.

So. What are some fucking #CoreActs open to #DarkBrandon to nail #Trump & prove that he is not the over-the-hill spineless woos that millions saw at the debate. It is fucking time to get down and DIRTY vs. wannabe #dictator Trump and the coup-continuing #IllegitimateSCOTUS. NICE is NOT going to win.

Wonder who Seal Team 6 will assassinate on Jan 21, 2025? Will the presidential transition team draw up a list of targets before the inauguration so the killing can start immediately?

So the only thing left to constrain Trump, if he wins, is illegal force. America is over at that point.

That means the Court also blesses *Biden* with extraordinary latitude. So Biden can assert that SCOTUS has gone authoritarian (as you say) and use his newfound latitude to pack the Court immediately, in the name of restoring democracy. Please join people calling for him to do that.

Leopards. Face. Nom. I am just hoping to die early on in his term if he is elected again. I assume I will he uses his complete powers to disband the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, and all social safety nets. Government funds sustain most healthcare facilities. Who needs any of it?

So, semi serious question. If Biden determines that his reelection efforts are best served by reducing Mar-a-Lago and its owners to a smouldering pile of rubble, and halving the amount of supreme court justices... What's there to stop him, other than a naive sense of decency and fairness?

So long as the Republicans hold more than a third of the seats in the Senate, Trump will not be removed no matter what he does.

The failure of Trump and his advisers was in believing that the law mattered and that they had to somehow justify the coup legally. SCOTUS just made clear Trump just needed to do the coup "official" and it would be approved.

SCOTUS simply would grant such broad presidential immunity if a) it was a Democratic President accused of significant wrongdoing, and b) if it was not confident of generational control of the court, which effectively gives it final say on any outcome.
