I cannot stress this enough - SCOTUS did not define what is an official act. So all you folks saying "well okay so now Biden can..." are not getting the bigger picture here. The President is immune for official acts, courts will decide what is official, and SCOTUS has last rule on whatever courts decide.

So if Trump does some fascist shit they like? That'll be official. And if Biden tries to do something they don't like? Unless it's written into LAW that's a Presidential power, it won't be.

@AnarchoNinaWrites And if the official act is to remove the court members he doesn’t like??? Sotomayor seems to disagree with you. Read her dissenting opinion.

@mrbadger42 That will not make it past a court. Sotomayor is simply saying the court now has the power to do it. But good luck with that plan; first you'll need to find a President willing to try it, then you'll need to stop fascist judges from undoing it.

Might as well give yourself superpowers and a pony while you're at it.

@AnarchoNinaWrites If course this is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. But but only somewhat. It seems to me they have essentially nullified the rule of law. In which case all bets are off. This isn’t going to be pretty.

@mrbadger42 I mean that's the thing right? I can think of lots of things Biden COULD do, I just don't think he WILL do any of them. It's very frustrating that all roads lead to "respect the court that doesn't respect the law and is trying to install fascism forever" because that's all the other team has.

These are the same folks who responded to protesting at SCOTUS judges houses by calling protestors terrorists and making it extra illegal to be there.
