SCOTUS is illegitimate.
I know it's been said as a joke a million times. But it feels like the current POTUS using his immunity for official duties to unilaterally correct this SCOTUS problem that is a flaw overlooked by the founding fathers would be a legitimate, official act that is done with the interest of the country and not for personal gain.
Straight up killing the ones taking bribes and inserting left leaning judges would cause a civil war, and I'm not sure how you can use this immunity situation to correct this problem through policy. Either by creating some sort if oversight, term limits, maybe, since Supreme Court judges are so important they should be elected by the people, not congress, idk. But If immunity to crimes is the hot topic right now, water board them all.
If Biden ordered their assassination he would have my vote and donations to his campaign.
If Biden assassinates, pardon me, official acts out of existence at least Thomas and Roberts, or better yet all 6 of the servative judges, I promise I will forget for 4 more years that Tim Walz, Marianne Williamson, and Jill Stein even exist. I won't even mention their names. I will be a Biden-stan for the next 4 years.
Do you... Not like Tim Walz? Genuine question, as someone from MN.
Love Tim Walz, he's the best.
But if Biden does the deed above, I can be an exclusive Biden-stan for 4 years. IF!
4 years. Not forever.
And only with regard to presidency.
Outside of the context of the presidential election I can (and probably will, unless something important changes) still be a Tim Walz stan even if Biden does the deed.
As long as Biden refuses to exercise ruthlessness in my name and with my approval I will be bringing up Tim Walz as a vastly superior presidential candidate to Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, and the typical gaggle of the establishment picks.
