    I think the Dems are trying to spin this as another item in the “war for Democracy” when really it’s just the SC re-affirming the constitution. It’s also very conveniently timed to detract attention from the growing calls for Biden to step down after his less than ideal debate performance.

    When an item gets put onto the political agenda list, it becomes polarized and if you are on Party A or Party B you immediately support or reject it based on affiliation with little thought.

      conveniently timed

      They’ve had the case since December’23. Don’t spread conspiracy thinking.

        This is standard campaigning strategy. If the news cycle is bad for your candidate, try to refocus the narrative. Now people aren’t talking about Biden’s age but the SC decision.

        They’re making a bigger deal about it than it actually is in order to better their chances for campaign.

        I don’t see the conspiracy in this, it’s standard stuff.

          So, the Biden administration had the majority conservative Supreme Court rule that Presidents are immune from prosecution. Obviously, Biden is hiding his power level. /s

            You’re not understanding me. I’m not claiming he orchestrated this decision. I’m saying his campaign is using this decision as an opportunity to deflect attention away from the concerns around his age that erupted after the debate.

            Never let a good crisis go to waste and all that. Am I speaking Greek?

              I suppose he’s also using Hurricane Beryl as a distraction too.

                It’s PR 101. I’m not making a controversial statement. Biden would be stupid not to. He has competent campaign officials.

                  This Supreme Court decision effectively ended democratic America, and Biden won’t get any younger.

      Can we also acknowledge how horrible reporting is on major cases and rulings? I’ve seen barely any coverage of Loper Bright and what the headlines say about it is largely inaccurate.

      You’re getting downvoted because Lemmy, but that’s more or less how I read the ruling as well. They ruled very specifically in a way that let them punt on all the other questions these trials have created.

      I’d hoped for better, but not realistically.
