I'm sorry, did you miss the part about this being SCOTUS declaring presidents as kings? If SCOTUS sides with Trump, nothing you said matters because Biden could just do it anyway.

Even Kings are only as powerful as their supporters allow them to be. Biden lacks the charisma to sell the lie that he can remove justices or presidential candidates. The "liberal" justices wouldn't support him, nor would congress or most states. There are no Biden acolytes. Murder is cleaner.

Its not a lie, they just made it law of the land lol.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

The fuck are you talking about? The SCOTUS hasn't ruled yet.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Its law of the land until they rule it isn't moreso when a case that will set precedent goes to the supreme court.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It isn't the law of the land. I agree that the court could fuck this up and create a catastrophe, but the law is plain and clear on the issue, Presidents are not kings.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It 100% is, the supreme Court only gets to say if it is or isn't legal until they do it is neither legal nor illegal but no more or less illegal than if it were committed at the same time. It wouldn't be clearly established until ruled on which it hasn't been.
