#SCOTUS Puts #Trump #AboveTheLaw

And gives him permission for a despotic second term.

By Adam Serwer

Near the top of their sweeping, #lawless opinion in Trump v. #UnitedStates, Donald Trump’s defenders on the #SupremeCourt repeat one of the most basic principles of American constitutional government: “The president is not above the law.” They then proceed to obliterate it.

SCOTUS gave Biden the same power. He could if he wanted as of today throw the conservative majority into Guantanamo for indefinite detention and save our democracy.

He won't though, because Democrats like to follow rules and traditions.

Trump however will feel no compulsion to do the same.
