    If only the Constitution provided for some mechanism to get rid of kings and those rapist sycophants who create them.

    Ah well then, eh.

        According to their logic Biden could just kill Trump with his bare hands and it’s 100% legal.

          Why bother? he could just drop a bunker buster in mara lago and have every republican in the house and senate and supreme court murdered except for those who swear absolute fealty.

    Not even King behaviour. In the 1640s, over 100 years before the USA was even an idea in the heads of angry colonials, the English parliament made it clear that monarchs are not above the law when they created the high court of justice to try King Charles I and subsequently execute him.

    So they are trying to claim powers for the president that not even the fucking King of England had before the revolution.

    Just seems like a real bad idea to rule that way when the opposition has the presidency. Seems like you might end up legally murdered by the president if you made that ruling.

      It’s the Supreme Court.

      They decide what cases they hear and when.

      They also decide if they need to recuse themselves based on no hard rules.

      If trump wins, he gets immunity. If Biden wins, they’ll sit on the case until they can get a croney in office who then gets immunity.

      They wont make a ruling on this until the day after Trump is sworn in. Or maybe further down the line if theyre still busy finding a way to hand him the election.
