    It’s a slow boil…

    There’s a case going to the SC that would wipe out almost half the convictions.

    Republicans are talking about pardons now in prep for a SC vote along party lines, then say Biden is against the SC while trump followed the rule of law by going thru with his trial.

    It’s why we should have done something about the SC long ago. Republicans keep pulling shit and we don’t take up the fight, then act surprised when they use it to their advantage. They were always going to do something big before the election, something where there isn’t a lot of time for Biden to act, and if he does he’ll be called a lame duck and they’ll frame it as 1/6.

    The “boots on the ground” are complete idiots, but the ones calling the shots and writing the checks have been planning this shit for a long time and are smart.

    We can’t afford to just always play defense.

        Fun fact: The Supreme Court can do whatever it wants.

        I don’t believe they can just wipe out convictions en masse or anything, but they can issue a ruling that would cause the J6ers to file an appeal based on the SC ruling that would all but guarantee their release.
