flexghost.A president is now a dictator.
One who can murder at will to retain power. This, thanks to the illegitimate Supreme Court
"With fear for our democracy, I dissent."
Justice Sotomayor's scathing remarks:
Team Trump and Project 2025 knew this ruling was coming. They had a statement ready to go: blame the other side for exactly what you're doing
Adam Schiff's take on SCOTUS giving immunity to a president, setting the stage for a dictatorship
AOC's take on the Supreme Court
“The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control.
"Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.
"I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.”
That's a little better than "vote harder" don't you agree?
Pelosi's take:
"Some people died because of him...and people died again because of his delay and denial about COVID.
"The Supreme Court would say that a person is above the law?
"And they waited months to make a conclusion about it?"
Biden on SCOTUS granting the president unlimited power:
"I'm powerless. Vote harder."
Dieu@flexghost Are you certain that Scotus would eeem any of Biden's actions official?
PetterOfCats@flexghost they waited to go on their vacations on their “friends” yachts before lighting the Molotov cocktail and throwing it at the gas station with the fireworks stand in the parking lot is what they did.
BenderIsGreat34@PetterOfCats @flexghost Orcas Assemble.

I like this, we should all have bumper stickers so we ca hail each other in support.

A Tattered Scrapbook@flexghost “Denial about COVID” rings a bit hollow now. Unless Pelosi intends to hit Biden with the same stick.
Femme Malheureuse@flexghost We have to do both AND MORE.
AOC only told us what she's going to do.
What we should be doing in addition to organizing massive turnout: contacting our senators and representatives and demanding they support AOC's articles of impeachment to remove corrupt justices.
FURTHER, we should demand senators and representatives draft a bill to enlarge SCOTUS to match the number of appeals court districts.

or simpler: have the conservative SC executed for messing with the president’s work. He is immune, so they can’t complain.

Robert J. Berger@flexghost We need to “Make them Do It “ https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/06/evolving/240972/
How do we demonstrate that the Majoirty of Americans won’t stand for what the Supreme Court has wrought? https://hachyderm.io/@rberger/112712605150782920
martin lentink 🇪🇺 🇺🇦📎@flexghost No, not better. Voting is necessary, but not sufficient. Just like filing Articles Of Impeachment is necessary, but no sufficient.
Jonathan RHas she introduced (or cosponsored legislation) to reverse Snyder v U.S.?

When will the Democrats take a serious stand against corruption?
BitcoDavid #ResistTrump@flexghost Yes, but vote harder anyway.
This is Hell
Galad@flexghost Biden should just have Trump arrested already. The Supreme Court practically said he could.
@galad that’s as far as you’d go? The other team wouldn’t be so generous. Think of why they wanted this immunity
Ned Hamson@flexghost Go Get them!!!
Stationkeeper@flexghost I'm gonna go out on a load-bearing limb here and forecast that 90% of the people who were saying she was too radical when she got elected will have practically lionized her in less than a few weeks.
Shane Celis@flexghost @VeroniqueB99 She's the only one with a serious and reasonable response that I've seen so far.
Shadow Heart@flexghost if this action gets support, then yeah, sadly, all Dems do is bluster in fake outrage and fail to take substantive actions on anything. And they wonder why voters aren't enthusiastic about supporting their party.
dogzilla@flexghost @WashRinseRepeat Not sure if it makes a difference now. The damage has already been done, and the GOP still holds the House, so these are going nowhere. And while it’s possible, it takes a *lot* to reverse a SCOTUS ruling.
Kevin Karhan 
@flexghost nodds in agree...
Steve's Place@flexghost We must do both. If we did not vote at all, there would be no AOC in power to file articles of impeachment.
We can't remove a SCOTUS ass because we don't like their politics. They actually must decide something far outside the norm. They finally did it. Now, if people HAD VOTED, we'd have a majority to oust them, but HALF OF US stayed home & played video games or watched Survivor, or griped the other side is mean & we should fight 1000's of machine guns in the streets.
LittleEva@flexghost yes AOC
hmelman@flexghost yes “a little” since it won’t pass the House let alone the Senate. But at least it will feel good.
arceuthobium@hmelman @flexghost better to make a show of what you would do with power than to simply give up. Political theater works.
Jon Het.@flexghost I just wish she had done this when her party had control of Congress. Now it's an empty threat.
BlackDogActual@flexghost
I dont often agree with AOC. but Ma'am you have thos one correct.

Zorro Notorious MEB 🪷🪷🪷@flexghost Can she just have a staffer write up Articles of Impeachment and file them, or is there some process she has to follow?
Ted_Cville@AlgoCompSynth @flexghost Problem is, they won't make it out of the House because the GOP still (barely) controls it..
Rory@flexghost Perfectly said by Congressman Schiff.
TAI@flexghost could've tried to pack the court has some who foresaw this suggested!!!!! just furious with fools thiking they could depend on democrats, all reactive, never proactive. always incompetent in the face of the GOP.
शिवदम् Ⓥ@flexghost So will #JoeBiden have this power now! Maybe he can do something with that power!
@Shivadam spoilers: he won't
