Biden could require that all SC Justices retire at age 75. That would get rid of Alito and Thomas. He could then appoint their successors. Obama could fill one of the seats (he's a Constitutional scholar). Maybe Sheldon Whitehouse could fill the other.

Trump gritting through the pussy tape is illustrative here. He refused to drop out & a few weeks later his polls rebounded & the press just dropped it. Obviously the fact that the press likes fascism & wants it to win is a factor but the fact it didn't change anything was EMBARRASSING for them.

I think I slightly mischaracterized our discussion here. We don't conclude the law is an impediment *to Trump.* We talk about how his underlings could be taking a big risk by carrying out his designs. But as we also say, Trump could pardon them. So as we concluded, the threat is profoundly grave.

The model to contemplate is Putinโ€™s Russia. Trump aspires to it and SCOTUS just gave him the ok. Putin is the richest person in the world. He has oligarchs who do well as long as they stay loyal. And the nation suffers terribly. Sham elections. Detained/murdered opposition. State media.

An under-discussed aspect of Roberts' lawless, constitutionally illiterate ruling in Trump v. US is that it's perfectly in line with the reason Roberts was appointed by Bush in the first place: he's a true-believer in the Imperial Presidency, hand picked to rule for POTUS in the War on Terror cases.

This kind of thinking is how we got here. Marc Elias cheering every time he beat Trump in court, like that was going to actually stop the coup instead of just making them change the courts and get immunity declared. People need to start understanding how authoritarians think. And act accordingly.

When I say the Supreme Court went beyond law, I donโ€™t mean that I disagree with their interpretation of any legal text. I mean their immunity grant isnโ€™t based in any. The Constitution does not address it either way. They invented new powers from nothing.
