More abuse of the judicial system. If invading the Capitol building while both houses are in session to count electoral votes after having been directed to do so by the sitting president in order to overturn the election in that sitting president's favor isn't "obstructing an official proceeding," then let's just burn it all down.
Ah, friend. At the point we're having this conversation will a bonfire fix anything? Isn't it too long overdue already? The people and parts that would pick up the pieces afterwards already too poisoned? What hope existed is decades past on multiple fronts. We're corpses that would dance to music there's no one left to play.
You can be a dancing skeleton on your own
The Supreme Court keeps going outside of their jurisdiction. Something needs to be done about them immediately. They are ruining what little democracy we have.
Jack Smith is the one who brought this... I don't really know his end game on this but I assume he wants to get rid of all avenues of escape for the cheeto.
Fuck it, let them make the ruling. Then while Biden is in office just arrest every single republican representative. Its fine now, because of the ruling. Fucken rubes.
I believe the Trump administration made the legal argument that anything the president does cannot be challenged if he did it in the belief it was necessary for national security, because that is the first and foremost responsibility of the president and the office itself is the ultimate source of that authority. I think it might have been when they cleared out the protestors in DC, but it was that kind of context.
What I’m wondering is whether that would give Biden the authority to order the arrest of the Supreme Court and members of Congress on the grounds that he believes they’re conducting a conspiracy against the United States and present a threat to the nation and the constitutional order.
Obviously, I’m just kidding.
Unless…
"Insurrections are A-OK."
-USSC maybe
As much as I really dislike the current SCOTUS, I do have faith that a majority would understand that if they allow this to continue happening, it would set an extremely dangerous precedent to allow more insurrections without repercussions. The only justice willing to allow this is probably Justice Clarence Thomas. Fuck that guy.
