Inside of two weeks, SCOTUS has given itself authority to:
- cancel legislation it doesn't like
- overrule regulatory bodies it doesn't agree with
- and after the fact legalize actions taken by a President.
Given that it's already got final say on the actions of the rest of the judiciary, that now consolidates the power of all three branches of American government under the authority of the Supreme Court.
In other words? It's a judicial coup.
Revolutions have been fought over less.
He has immunity for much more than that. I think he is too weak to take the steps necessary to resolve this though.
@the_Effekt @ArneBab Again - he doesn't.
What's an official act? Who decides that? Show me the law that says the President can *redacted* SCOTUS members because if you can't? That's up to a judge to decide; and oh btw? SCOTUS can override any judge in the land if they want to hear the appeal.

That's what they've been discussing up and down, left to right on CNN in a circular fashion just minutes ago and none of that matters, because, well, SCOTUS ultimately will decide whatever the hell they want and deem to be in favour of MAGA fascists.
I mean - sure it's hard to swallow, but that's a coup d'état, done by SCOTUS. Nothing less will fit.
@GNUmatic sounds like the CIA playbook of South America, but now turned against democracy in the USA.
And no, this does not mean that it’s OK!

@GNUmatic While we’re on the topic:
If you have friends who are democrat and they don’t run #Freenet / #Hyphanet yet: now’s the time to invite them.

Remind them that we also wouldn’t have expected that we’d need Hyphanet for information about #Abortion:
