In normal times, the Supreme Court would've smacked down claims of presidential immunity almost immediately, but we're not in normal times, and there's a reason why the conservative majority of Federalist Society bagmen waited until the last possible moment to provide this insane ruling.

Unless Biden does something drastic that also would've been deemed illegal fast and decisively, the US has ceased the rule of law.

The fact that Alito & Thomas refused to recuse from this decision was a clear sign that the “Federalist Society” bagmen were running the show.

I don't doubt that they knew this would be unpopular outside of conservative circles, but what do they really gain by waiting till the last day, besides delaying headlines a couple months?

Could one argue that a president is acting in official duties of protesting and defending the constitution by ordering a drone strike on Trump?

Don't even need hypotheticals. For Nixon and Clinton they were confronted with POTUS saying "but I'm POTUS and I don't wanna" and the Court said a polite variant of "sit the fuck down, Mr President, you are not a King". But if you want to overthrow the Republic? "Why, yes, your majesty, go for it"

As long as Biden has the support of 34 senators he legally can take Trump out of the race for good if he wishes. Dark Brandon vibes

So if I understand the arguments and timing to date-- they wanted to announce late in season, and based on their arguments of total presidential immunity, so that Biden ordering seal team 6 to assassinate Trump would be fully supported by SCOTUS-- Did I follow these trials correctly?

If the court truly believes this ruling, then maybe Biden should send seal team 6 to the houses of the conservative justices to make a point

And logic will be “gotta be behind Biden”. Emperor has no clothes - need an alternate. Otherwise, I’m staying home, giving up.

At this point, anyone who claims Barrett is different or more "interesting" than Thomas or Alito is just willingly slopping up PR.

Today would be a great day for Mitch McConnell to keel over in a fit of joy unto apoplexy. At least give us something.
