The U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity decision has reportedly emboldened the presumptive GOP nominee to pursue his far-right agenda and authoritarian aims “without fear of punishment or restraint.”

The president has the power to pardon the people around him.
True, I didn’t consider that. He’d still have to convince them though, which would be easier said than done if he wanted to entirely disregard the constitution
I have confidence in the ability of someone like trump to surround himself with exactly the type of people who would gladly take such leaps.
As someone pointed out to me, it’s federal crimes.
So if he asks you to do something that he’s shielded from, but is a state crime, youre SOL
Murder is generally a state offense, but since D.C. is a Federal district, I’m pretty sure murders that occur there would be pardonable.
Dear Mr Person I Want to Murder
It would be lovely if you could come visit me in DC. I have a great
murderopportunity I’d like to discuss with youSincerely Trump
I think you lost the discussion thread a little bit. We’re talking about what Biden could do about the corrupt Supreme Court justices. They’re definitely in D.C. already.
Not really.
Pardons come up, I mention federal only, you mention murder, and then I make a joke about it.
You think Biden is gonna murder someone?
LOL, no.
But I do think that the fascist SCOTUS judges just gave him that power, and that Biden demonstrating just how terrible a power it is by using it to get rid of them might be the only way to get the decisions overturned and stop the US from becoming a dictatorship.
The only two ways are pretty much what you said, or a massive blue wave in November that gives the dems a supermajority in the senate and a majority in the house.
AKA the USA is fucked.
Sigh… yep.
