Well, if they rule in favor of presidential immunity, maybe Biden can move the entire RNC to Gitmo, and take these fools with them.
The Dems are still pulling punches.
They are corrupt, even criminal, not merely partisan.
They are literally abusing their authority to rewrite the constitution with the sole intent of obstructing justice. Prosecute them. Bring the charges in the bluest of blue areas and let a jury decide their fate.
And then we should stack a new supreme court and ignore the old, because fuck it, why not
>“They’re politicians who are not even subject to popular election, unlike me,” Raskin said during his Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut.” “They should move the Supreme Court over to the RNC headquarters because they’re acting like a bunch of partisan operatives.”
…
The Maryland lawmaker said Alito’s remarks “buy” into the former president’s “narcissistic criminal worldview.”
>“The most astonishing thing for me today was Justice Alito’s question he actually asked whether holding the president criminally accountable for actual crimes committed whether murder or coup or you name it, whether holding them accountable would actually encourage them to stage more violent coups to stay in office to avoid prosecution, which buys completely into Donald Trump’s narcissistic criminal worldview,” he said.
>“I mean, for all of American history, we’ve said presidents are subject to criminal prosecution if they commit crimes,” he continued.
>“Now they say, well, if you’re really mean to Donald Trump, and you hold him accountable the way every other American citizen is accountable, then he’ll really overthrow the government. He’ll really bring out the big guns, and we can’t afford that.”
>Raskin called the line of thinking a “masochistic capitulationism to Donald Trump’s authoritarianism.”
>“Of course you’ve got to hold the president accountable to the law — it’s the basic premise of our law that no one is above the law, including the president,” the House Democrat said.
>“Now we’ve got a bunch of justices who are asking questions that indicate that they are as corrupted as members of Congress who I served with,” he later added.
SCOTUS needs to be reformed. It’s critical to the health and welfare of Americans and American democracy. SCOTUS is another version of O. J. Simpson.
CPAC* already admitted they’re domestic terrorists, in bed with fascists like Orban, Trump, Putin, etc. This is the paradox of tolerance, and I have a feeling that democratic principles prohibit a first strike, even though it would be in response to a failed coup/treason.
EDIT: I said RNC and meant CPAC.
I’m highly skeptical that the Supreme Court will actually rule in Trump’s favor here. I absolutely understand the concern but I don’t think that’s actually going to happen. Even if you want to look at this as cynically as possible, there’s no way the conservative justices are going to hand Biden near unlimited power, which is what they would have to do if they agree with Trump.
However, I’m also fine with the very vocal distrust being expressed right now, by those such as Raskin. The current SCOTUS does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Hold their feet to the fire because fuck ’em. They have not earned our trust or our respect.
Reform for the SCOTUS is a must. Until then, they should be ignored. Those of us who care about America and what it means must uphold the Constitution and say no to anything else.
This is one of the most disconcerting thinking and ideologies that has come out of all the malfeasance that Trump has instigated. It is truly, I believe, a walk towards a theocratic/
authoritarian state.
I don’t say this lightly; because I am a conservative that believes in the traditional proscriptions of the institutions of government that the founding fathers principled.
A very sad state of affairs……
More attention should be drawn to the Federalist Society. They’re the ones who stacked the conservative justices on the SCOTUS. They’re also taking over law schools, stacking federal judges nationwide, planning Project 2025, and also their own news and entertainment outlets.
From the rule of the to the law of rule.
Busy day at work today. Anyone have a tldr on what happened with scotus today?
the judicial branch that just up and decides to rewrite the constitution is basically the continuation of January 6
SCOTUS is definitely not passing the vibe check on this fundamental question of accountability. But with how it’s stacked how foolish to expect something other than what we’re seeing.
The question is now gonna is how do we rectify a blatantly undemocratic SCOTUS ruling after it’s made. An amendment or law will need to be passed.
Absolutely not. Let’s not discount the judges who are engaging in true legal reasoning. As for those engaged in rationalization, they are another matter.
They would gladly take them! They’ve probably already thought of it.
The United States supreme Court answers only to Donald Trump and the white Lord Jesus Christ.
The Federalist Society should be recognized as the partisan organization it is.
All Dems should speak out like this.
How many of us are willing to die to prevent this, as apposed to how many will die to make it happen!
Six of them should be moved to ADX Florence
During the trial, justices should be asked if the President should be immune to prosecution from killing supreme Court justices. That should be unsubtle enough for them.
Fascism 101. Alito is protecting Trump and the Republican Party over the interest of the United States, contrary to the laws they are supposed to uphold.
The RNC is too broke to afford the SCOTUS…
I swear….. it’s like I’m watching the flashback from V for Vendetta play out in real time….
V: Our story begins, as these stories often do, with a young, up-and-coming politician. He’s a deeply religious man and a member of the Conservative Party. He’s completely single-minded and has no regard for the political process. The more power he attains, the more obvious his zealotry and the more aggressive his supporters become. Eventually, his party launches a special project in the name of “national security”.
Obviously, Trump is not young or religious, but many of his handlers are…. the rest is stunningly similar…..
If we don’t see justice then I see no reason for us to accept the current SCOTUS as a lawful authority of any sort.
He’s not wrong. I’m sure even Trump’s lawyers are pleasantly surprised the Supreme Court justices are entertaining their bullshit.
I’m already predicting that the supreme court will come out and give Trump just enough protection that he can appear on the ballot for 2024 then if Trump wins he will pardon himself and the SC will sit on their hands and allow it.
This country is becoming exactly the opposite of what the founding fathers created.
Maybe Biden should use incoming immunity to sack the entire court and replace them with a new court that finds he doesn’t have immunity.
What did you expect? Democrats sat on their hands when Obama had a pick and the fucking turtle illegally blocked it. They should have fought tooth and nail against anyone the orange freak put in. Tooth and fucking nail.
Repubs won.
It was all about SCOTUS for them, always.
This is truly amazing. Does anyone care that Pelosi gets 45% returns from the stock market every year? Guess the trolls and bots don’t care about that. In a country that is half conservatives, no conservative input on Reddit. Yeah, this is for real. Haha.
We are truly screwed and democracy is dead, or never was.
Not that it matters cause Reddit is full of trolls and bots, but maybe there are a few real people here. What I am going to attempt to share, is the communist Party of the USA, 45 point manifesto to destroy america, this is not some far right conspiracy, it was read into the Congressional Record in 1962. What you will see in the Democrat/communist platform to destroy America

Alito and Thomas should be arrested for taking bribes, public corruption, and tax fraud. Then, every case that would have been decided differently without their votes, Citizens United, to start, should be overturned.
Then they can go move in with Lara Trump.
Boy, I’d say Raskin for president but I think he’s too smart to be president.
WTG, not surprised, Raskin. More high level politicians need to step forward and question the Supreme Court as it is today. Its a partisan shit-show and currently, justice delayed is justice denied…ironically the right wing supreme court is basically denying justice to the very people they serve, the US populace. Weird shit.
I fucking love Raskin so much. More dems need to call this shit out like he does.
We can change this.
We win back the house. We keep the senate and the White House we can impeach the justices like Thomas.
Then bring the matters before the court again
Yeah yeah yeah, if Biden stacks the scotus you’d be ecstatic about it,
All these trolls that don’t want presidential immunity, this is the perfect senat
Cheaper than the vatican.
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck, Republicans will tell you it’s an untrained dog and you can shoot it in the face.
What the fuck is up with his haircut
SCOTUS has lost its way. Why have life time terms at all? People change and there is no way to correct that? The person appointed to the spot 20 years is going to be a very different person today. Same with federal judges. While I know that technically we can remove those people with impeachment, our political process blocks that at the moment.
They need term limits and then the judicial branch needs to be taken out of the hands of the president, the politicians, and the public. Not sure how it could be done, but something needs to change.
