The President is Above the Law

They decide the law so they are the law?

So much hubris in this court, I hope there is a reckoning.

Yes
The JustIces are about the law and make the law. There is no way Garland could appoint a special counsel. The court would strike down any and all attempts at accountability. These people are appointed for life and have immunity to all laws. The federalist society saw this and put the people in place to rule the country.

It's a nice thought but...how? The *best* Senate pickup opportunities the Dems have this year are Florida and Texas.

I think part of the reason the GOP is pushing Gaza (and probably sending the same provocateurs to protests they sent summer of 2020) is that it’s their only hope. Abortion and the total erasure of women is top of mind for most fertile women, and if those who claim their top choice is “inflation” thought a little harder about it, being forced to have a baby or several (that you don’t want anyway) is incredibly expensive.

The GOP and their handmaiden media outlets need to push Gaza and inflation (notice they can’t push immigration any more since Trump killed it as an issue) because the GOP is so overwhelmingly wretched and here we have a court that is giving a little amuse bouche of what the fascist feast would taste like.

There is no need for that. The democratic leadership has said they will not address court only comply with its ruling. The dems have no desire to do anything to change the court.

According to Trump’s lawyer, a President could have Supreme Court Justices assassinated so long as the President frames it as an official action for the good of the country.

The bumbling and corrupt swamp can’t have that

What? A majority of Americans believe in a woman's right to choose. Trump has done more than any single person to restrict abortion.
A majority of Americans support stricter gun laws. Trump does not.
A majority of Americans condemn those who entered the Capitol on January 6. Trump calls them hostages.

Magas are so deeply bubbled that they really don’t understand anything at all. On some level they know the court is corrupt, they just don’t care because they think they’re going to be protected.

This is sarcasm, right?

And I swear to god we already heard this during the terrible four years. None of this is a surprise. Trump shutting down the immigration bill so that the “democrats wouldn’t have a win.” Him working with Russia. Roe. Project 2025. All his many crimes. That whole little coup.

The sickos who still want to vote GOP will. They think they’ll get all they want and will never have to pay for it and all they have to do is vote away democracy.

Alito and the rest of the corrupt “conservative” (what are they “conserving”? They’re trying to install fascism) judges are a blight on this country for sure.
