SCOTUS decision today "almost certainly means there are virtually no limits on what a president can do," says President Biden, calling it dangerous and "undermines the rule of law of this nation."

I would have liked it better if he just came out (in the damn aviators) and laughed for about 3min did some finger guns and said "thanks for the upgrade suckers" and walked away.

The trick is the Supremes decide what is official and what isn’t. Supremes support Trump, not Biden. Isn’t that the problem?

My understanding is that this order does very little but create room for delay.

They can, as always, become more meddlesome and just randomly reverse and change things (for example plucking Bannon out of prison)

Three of them may be ready to be that buck wild... but I don't know if there are five.

@futurebird @wa7iut @w7voa Notably Barrett, who seems to be a true believer not a fascist, explicitly stated that the fake electors scheme was not an “official act” in her view

@njwatt @futurebird @wa7iut @w7voa One way to view the court's ruling is that it simply delayed any Trump trials until after the election. She was on board for that.

@glennsills @futurebird @wa7iut @w7voa I’m not here to defend ACB by any means, just to say she doesn’t seem to be on board with a genuinely imperial presidency

@njwatt @futurebird @wa7iut @w7voa This just shows you that humans are still much more about their 'tribes' than we often think. This ruling doesn't make much sense at all, especially for the "textualist" , unless you consider that they are ruling in favor of their tribe. If they don't, they will suffer the consequences.
