BIDEN HARISS WILL LOSE THE ELECTION - A CERTAINTY, AND THAT WILL BE THE DEATH OF ALL HOPE. BIDEN MUST DROP OUT. NO DONATION TO BIDEN.

[@cpwargo]

Brian…would like to talk with you about the Polish election on Nov 2023. And my experience on that day while visiting Scotland

[@unfrozencavemanlawyer3950]

This is really good news, for Biden. Biden needs to remove the conservative judges from SCOTUS immediately, if he can’t remove them, he can keep them from entering the court building, at least. So even if it’s challenged, the conservatives won’t be able to get inside the building. They don’t believe Biden would do that, and that’s why it will work. In fact, if Biden doesn’t do this then the coup is complete. This is a GIFT. What SCOTUS is going to do if they aren’t neutralized before the election is someone will challenge the validity of the election. SCOTUS will stay the certification while they “consider” this. And just like the immunity case they’ll drag their feet long enough for the rule to kick in that then throws the election back to the state legislatures, and the swing states are controlled by Republicans/MAGA. So we know how that will end. Biden must do this. And it wouldn’t hurt if he officially declared that from this point forward the electoral college is done and the presidential election will be decided like every other election. By popular vote. Biden could use this time to blow up Project 25. Face it, if Pence had done his “job” last time (and delayed the certification) it would have worked. And the saddest part is that absolutely nothing has been done in the last 3.5 years to prevent that exact same thing from happening again. This time the delay will be in SCOTUS’ hands and we’ve seen how adept they are at that. Biden must act. Now. If not, then whether Joe wins or not, Trump will be installed in the manner I’ve suggested and there’s not a damned thing we can do about it. Biden must act NOW or democracy is over. Everything else is just a distraction.

Please learn what treason actually is. It can’t be used for whatever we think is against our beliefs. “Treason is defined on the federal level in Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution as "only in levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Most state constitutions include similar definitions of treason, specifically limited to levying war against the state, "adhering to the enemies" of the state, or aiding the enemies of the state, and requiring two witnesses or a confession in open court. Fewer than 30 people have ever been charged with treason under these laws.

[@tinhapin2875]

They should be charged with several ethics violations, right? Possibly some of them are illegal - bribery is still illegal in the US, right? As for "enemies of the US", aren't they supposed to be defending the constitution, not re-writing it in a way they see fir? A lot of what they've done will be giving aid and/or comfort to Russia, a US enemy these days. It doesn't seem so farfetched anymore, does it?

Publication Information 1982 Abstract The Supreme Court theorized absolute immunity for the President must be found in the separation of powers doctrine. Because of the broad range and sensitive nature of the President's responsibilities, his constant visibility, and the judicial deference he has historically been accorded, the Court concluded in Nixon v. Fitzgerald that civil damages suits would unduly distract the President from his official duties. Furthermore, because the President's actions can affect innumerable people, the Court feared the scrutiny inherent in civil damages suits would be overly intrusive. Accordingly, the Court considered it too difficult to align a particular result with one of the President's innumerable decisions; therefore, the Court adopted the rule from Barr v. Matteo, that acts done within the “outer perimeter” of official capacity deserve immunity from civil damages. However, the notion that absolute immunity has placed the President above the law is a misconception for he still may be subject to impeachment, and to mandamus, injunctions, and subpoena duces tecum in criminal trials, as well as being amenable to civil suits when acting beyond the outer perimeter of his official capacity. 1982 Supreme Court William J.

Publication Information 1982 Abstract The Supreme Court theorized absolute immunity for the President must be found in the separation of powers doctrine. Because of the broad range and sensitive nature of the President's responsibilities, his constant visibility, and the judicial deference he has historically been accorded, the Court concluded in Nixon v. Fitzgerald that civil damages suits would unduly distract the President from his official duties. Furthermore, because the President's actions can affect innumerable people, the Court feared the scrutiny inherent in civil damages suits would be overly intrusive. Accordingly, the Court considered it too difficult to align a particular result with one of the President's innumerable decisions; therefore, the Court adopted the rule from Barr v. Matteo, that acts done within the “outer perimeter” of official capacity deserve immunity from civil damages. However, the notion that absolute immunity has placed the President above the law is a misconception for he still may be subject to impeachment, and to mandamus, injunctions, and subpoena duces tecum in criminal trials, as well as being amenable to civil suits when acting beyond the outer perimeter of his official capacity. 1982 Supreme Court William J.

I posted this to someone else but it fits here too: 👍🏻 I’m an Independent lean Democrat and I’m currently on page 68 of Project 2025 reading it to try and get a foothold into what exactly the “plan” is if trumpo wins. It’s difficult reading in some parts (like lawyer speak reading) but I’m chugging along. Funnily enough I have no clue how they expect trump to enact “the plan” when trump himself speaks complete 180 from what they want to do on some major ideas. They speak of equality for all and following the constitution (it seems a huge point for them) which trump doesn’t seem to want, he’d gleefully tear it up. They have some good ideas and some not so good ideas but I’m in the very beginning of the tome (it’s 920 pages long)….

Y'all get this through your heads, this so-called immunity only covers all the federal crimes.....only. the hush money case and the Georgia state case is still alive.

[@charlottesmom]

Also wanted to add: Project 2025 has been around since Reagan, he got the original huge collection of “‘ideas” he implemented 60% during his terms, each republicans after has implemented smaller and smaller ideas from “the plan”. With the next republicans president they will pounce and try to get every single idea enacted, trump they seem to think would be an easy mark to get their ideas in. I’m not so sure that is going to work since trump listens to NO One, he thinks he is smarter than everyone else on Earth. This is both good and bad, good because he is easily distracted (throw him a cheeseburger and golf clubs and he’s busy for hours!) Bad because he is the type to do whatever he wants regardless of advisors, be that good for America or bad.

The only way he can pack the court is to do something that’s never been done and remove every Supreme Court Justice on it and start over and he since he has absolute immunity now he can do that and then that’s it there’s nothing we’re fucked just realize that we’re fucked

[@dbmyers2]

@@user-ov3cw8iy2c Not every Supreme Court Justice (there are three non-fascists on the court). "Packing the court" can be done legally but it requires hard majorities in both the Senate and the House . . . and of course, control of the Presidency.

No new justices until term limits installed !!

[@divinewon73]

There are 13 federal districts, but only 9 justices, so Biden has every right to rebalance the court with four extremely progressive, very young and incredibly healthy justices. Then, term limits can be created along with ethics for the court that is supposed to represent the constitution for the American people, not authority for a dictator.

[@user-gs1jb5en8i]

The solution is not to rebalance with alternate bias. The solution is to 1. Totally get rid of this lawless court. 2. Come up with a mechanism to appoint non-partisan judges. The most obvious mechanism would be to require a supermajority to confirm appointments
