    Seems like they’re making a whole list of crimes Biden can get away with though…

      No, it’s still illegal for Biden, it’s only legal when a Republican does it.

        It wouldn’t shock me if SCOTUS calls take backsies if a Democrat ever gets back into office.

          They already did! The ‘presidential immunity’ ruling they recently made basically said that if a President does it, we (SCOTUS) will decide if it is an official act, and if it is, then the Prez is blameless, but if we say the act isn’t ‘official’ then WE will tell you the Prez is a baddie.

          The senate literally did this with appointing a Supreme Court Justice during an election year. That’s how Amy got put in place.

            FTFY. Voting had already started when they rammed the handmaid in there to replace Ginsburg.

      Fascists rely on you being a decent person in indecent times. They’re counting on Biden not using the full extent of the powers the office of the President has been granted because it’s so far beyond the pale.
