Theocratically, he could just send the NAVY Seals on a "special mission" to save democracy in this country.

Jfc... No, he can't do that. This ruling in no way shape or form allows him to do that and ffs people need to stop suggesting that he should.

They kicked the can down the road, the case wont be settled and nobody can take advantage until after the election at this point.

He both won't and shouldn't.

The dissent from one of the SCOTUS justices literally posed this as a hypothetical as to what the POTUS can now potentially do with the immunity ruling. I trust her legal acumen over that of everyone on this board.

No.

If he did, it would probably only happen if Trump won, and was going going to become president no matter what. At that point, I could see there at least being the possibility that he would try something desperate to stop Trump.

No, but there's a different ruling that I think Biden could definitely take advantage of. Justice Roberts said that Presidents and their department of Justice shouldn't have a separation and the DOJ works for the President.

So if that's the case, I think Biden should instruct Garland and the DOJ to formally charge Thomas and Alito with bribery.

I never got this criticism. So are we supposed to just let the fascists win? There's too much at stake to continue playing by the rules and taking the high road. This is some stupid "if you kill the bad guy, you'll be just like them!" logic.

It's really a genius move.

Conservatives KNOW liberals are spineless and would NEVER try to take advantage of this in any way like people are talking. But by the same token if they DID, it immediately legitimizes conservatives to do any bullshit they want pretty much for all time by playing the victim.

Literally the ONLY way to stop this is for people to go out and vote it down. Otherwise America gets what it deserves. That's pretty much it.

Well, considering that Im no longer a part of the modern anti-wokes because they went down this particular route and I refused to follow, all Im saying is to be careful to not become the very monster that youre currently fighting if you feel such a drastic change in tactics is warranted.

That's fine, but I don't think the answer is to allow the republicans to basically just do whatever the fuck they want and then turn around and say that Democrat's better not do what they do!!! When they aren't.

How do we do that?
Do you think the President's office just has switches you flip to make government happen? You need people to put that into effect. That's what makes Project 2025 so scary. The Republicans have been putting people into positions to make things happen. In fact, that's the reason this decision happened; Trump got three SC justice picks because "oh, he couldn't be that bad."
To have judicial reform, we need to win elections. To have a three-party system (which honestly is not the magic fix you think it is) we need to eliminate the EC and FPTP which takes amending the constitution and to do that, you guessed it, we need to win elections.

I'm voting and helping locally as best as I can but it never feels like enough. If Trump becomes president what's stopping him from just murdering everyone now that the courts will rule in his favor? I don't fucking understand this country right now.

Obsessing over something entirely out of your hands doesn't help. If you're doing all you can, then you're doing the best you can do. Beating yourself up for not being able to singlehandedly save the world will kill you.

If they did, they genuinely risk losing support. The dems at best are not the monsters. If they visibly become the monsters, then they lose more support than they gain.

However, if Biden were bloodlessly sabotage Trump and his backers via immunity, he and the dems could maybe get the next four years. At this point, Trumps campaign and and the organizations supporting him could all probably all be barred by making implementing a rule banning those using hate speech, not protected as free speech, from taking office or something. Some say thats a slippery slope, but I think Germany had the right of it.

Biden should, but only after the election. If he wins, he should remake the courts starting with the Supreme Court. This country needs an all liberal court to undo all that damage the previous Supreme Court did. Restore Roe v Wade, Dobbs, Citizens United, and many others the benefits the citizens.

It's the good things that get accomplished is how we sell to the American people what Biden did was the right thing for them and this country, which the news media will undoubtedly paint him as an authoritarian for removing judges. If Biden can rack up as many wins; like somehow lowering grocery, gas, housing, and various other costs with his "official acts" power. While also raising taxes on the rich to pay for it. I bet Dems will continue to curbstomp the fascist GOP in future elections, no matter how hard the news media tries.
