The court’s delay may have stripped citizens of the criminal justice system’s most effective mechanism for determining disputed facts: a trial.

    If they rule he does I promise to riot every day. There won’t even be a point in maintaining the status quo as such a ruling would invalidate democracy

      If they rule Trump does then that means Biden does too. It would basically be giving Biden a license to ship them all to Guantanamo. Might be the only thing that holds back such a decision.

        Ship them to Guantanamo ? You’re too nice. If presidents have immunity, Biden could strangle him to death with his own bare hands on live television if he wanted to 💀

        No it doesn’t. I guarantee they will do all the Olympic-level mental gymnastics necessary to craft the bullshit opinion in such a way that it applies to Trump but not Biden.

      If they do, Biden needs to immediately pack the court and remove lifetime appointments.

      He should be doing it already IMO

        Removing lifetime appointments to the supreme court would require a constitutional amendment, which… Good luck with that.

        Even increasing the number of justices on the court would need congressional action, which isn’t going to happen in this Congress.
