Yep, EO’s are still subjected to judicial reviews.
This ruling doesn’t let Biden write new laws. But, he could put out an EO and then use force to enforce it. He could put one out, that then gets overruled, then he could just claim that the justice department was wrong.
A brilliant kind of stupidity, though. They know this won’t hold up, they’re just trying to buy time so Trump doesn’t spend part of his campaign behind bars.
Even if he were prosecuted, his lawyers could claim he was too senile to know what he was doing, and it’s not like he’s got enough years left in him to worry about seeing the end of it.
Immune from criminal prosecution*
The state AGs can and will still challenge any and all such executive orders.
But if Biden hypothetically were to kidnap, beat, or murder supreme court justices or political opponents, then that’s another story.

This is so fucking stupid

But he’s not too senile to run for president? Pick one.
I picked long ago. I just finally found a potential upside.
As in he could do it without consequence, other story?
Yes. To clarify for you:
One story is he does regular legislative actions, the states can contest it
another story is he does something criminal as official business, nobody can do shit about it
Maybe Biden should appoint a mob boss as president for a couple of weeks
Just wait until November, you’ll be doing that anyway 😉
