Justice Clarence Thomas "secretly accepted gifts and income potentially worth millions of dollars," the Democratic senators said evidence suggested.

    I don’t believe the recent court ruling would actually allow that because suspending court justices isn’t a regular part of the president’s duty.

    Directing the DOJ is

    So Biden can direct them to arrest someone, and throw them in gitmo.

    His motivations can’t be investigated. And directing the DOJ is within a presidents power

      It might be illegal for the DOJ personnel to follow that order, but he can just tell them he’ll pardon them for any crimes they’re charged with for following his order and that he’ll murder them if they don’t follow his order, and all of that is totally legal

        It might be illegal

        But we’ll never know, because looking into his motivations is literally forbidden.

        All he can be tried for is the action in a vacuum. And if it was explicitly within his powers. He’s good

        Literally anything that goes thru an agency is automatically cool.

        That’s why it’s so dangerous to half ass this election and for Biden to just ignore all the power he has.

        The president can pardon people for unspecified things (proven by Trump). He can pardon anyone for “following orders”
