I would like to see Biden give an address to the nation from the Oval Office explaining what the SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity means and what its possibilities are. Then hit the campaign trail attacking "the MAGA Court" for shredding the Constitution to give felon Trump license to crime.
Several months ago, I argued that Biden should campaign against a lawless and corrupt SCOTUS (instead of Trump), to build a mandate for court expansion.
Now more than ever.
He should get out there and say the naked truth... that with this power, he absolutely could have Trump assassinated with no recourse.
Stopping a coup is well within his powers.
So many easy campaign messages at Dem's disposal and they never seem to put them out. There should have been campaigns addressing the lies, the mishandled documents, the felonies, etc for months now.
Akkording to MSNBC, he's supposed to be doing something like that in a few minutes. As for putting a boot in the asses of the 6 MAGA judges, I agree with you
I’d enjoy seeing 6 treasonous judges staked out naked at Gitmo and Biden addressing the nation casually as he tees golf balls off their junk more, but your idea would be a good start…
I don't necessarily want him to focus on it on the campaign trail - this is one of those areas where I suspect being politically engaged makes us a bad judge of what will resonate with voters - but I would like at least a major address or two.
Yep. A lot of people semi-seriously suggesting Biden abuse the power they've nominally just given him. That would be fun, but I think the move here, which he should've done 3 years ago, is plead to Congress to put some restraints on his office. Codify all the norms Trump broke.
First aides will have to help him find the oval office.
Biden has never, and will never use the bully pulpit. Hell, when's the last time you saw a prominent Democrat do so?
Not the main point, but a long-running pet peeve is I would prefer they simply use Trump's name, and derivatives Trumpist / Trumpism, rather than MAGA. It's a cult of personality. Refer to it by name, not by its slogan.
Perhaps Biden should order the arrest of Trump and hold Trump in arbitrary detention or order his removal to a black ops site indefinitely.
SCOTUS is making the rule of law a joke.
