    This does not bode well for democracy. This illegitimate SCOTUS was hand crafted by fascists to support fascism.

      Which is why they should make their decision soon. If they rule he has immunity, then Biden will have time to commit whatever crimes against Trump he can and would then be immune from prosecution for it. Personally, I’m hoping for a public caning.

      The SCOTUS has its fair share of shits on it, but they are not a simple “do what Republicans want” machine (aside from Alito and Thomas).

      Literally just today, they announced a ruling allowing Washington state to ban gay conversion “therapy”. They’ve already riled against Trump multiple times in other cases.

      Don’t count on that happening. They like those perks of the job, and a dictator has no need for a supreme court. If they want to maintain their cushy lifestyle, they need to keep the authoritarians from completely subverting democracy.

        This right here is bald truth, and I’ll bet you a dollar it’s crossed all of their minds. Except for Thomas. Thomas has a one-track mind and it has no room for anything except its one preferred thought, which is “I will make them all wish they hadn’t talked about that pubic hair” on repeat, ad infinitum.
