    I get the sentiment.

    But i just want to make sure that everyone here knows that biden doesnt have carte blanche to do what he wants because hes not exactly aligned with the conservative supreme court that decides if its an official act or not.

    I see this shit all the time and with the way the election went, im pretty convinced that the american electorate is dumb enough to think biden is actually immune.

      In this case, I don’t think SCOTUS would be able to do much. They tied their own hands on the “official presidential act” thing. It would have to be up to congress.

        They conveniently forgot to define what constitutes an “official act”, meaning they can re-interpret the meaning of that on the fly in order to reward their friends and punish opponents.

          They said congress had to decide that.

            That’s not going to make this any easier or more difficult. Conservative officials all walk in lockstep.
