John Breen@georgetakei Remember when the Supreme Court said it's OK to jail Americans of Japanese ancestry without trial ? I do.
Robin Adams@jab01701mid @georgetakei An important piece by @Teri_Kanefield about this here and how SCOTUS ended up with so much power. A reactionary Supreme Court is the norm in American history (Dred Scott the most egregious example). America got a few decades grace with the Warren court before it was back to business as usual.

Some sad news (and a bit about the Supreme Court) - Teri Kanefield
This week, JJ died suddenly of a pulmonary blood clot. You wouldnāt have known from his puppy looks and constant puppy energy, but he was a senior dog diagnosed with bronchitis and a heart murmur that was getting worse. Given how suddenly and peacefully JJ passed, the vet said it was most likely a pulmonary [ā¦]

pinkdrunkenelephants@georgetakei Yeah, it's time for all of us to start talking revolution at this point. This bullshit cannot stand.
Make sure you and yours have a fight/escape plan because shit WILL go down by November; this ruling pretty much assured that. š¤¦

It's not even "is POTUS fully unleashed" it's that every questionable act is now subject to years of wrangling over "was that part of the official duties". Who cares if they were criminal if they've ransacked and pillaged the nation before it ever can reach a courtroom?

@georgetakei The majority opinion, endorsed by so-called textualists on the court, actually has the gall to state that the lack of text providing for presidential immunity is not a hindrance to the concept lol

Soā¦ what should Bidenās first āofficialā action be now that he is unrestrained by the rule of law? Other ideas? Put them in the comments. Takeaways from the Supreme Courtās historic decision granting Donald Trump partial immunity - CNN https://apple.news/AcCgQkNo2S3yN9NZy9SnjYQ [ ] Arrest Donald Trump [ ] Require states to allow abortion [ ] Declare himself POTUS for life [ ] Declare the GOP a terrorist org.
TomT@georgetakei Biden should officially make it into law that felons cannot be president and if any former president becomes a felon, they lose all benefits thereof (pension, protection, etc)
@georgetakei itās just one more step in their complete consolidation of total power. They shred the Constitution one bit at a time, the courts are owned, little bit more every day. And Americaās greatest modern achievement is apathy.
