I'm sure the GOP will figure out how to get rid of it soon enough
No, they will do what they do everywhere else and stack the decks so that nullification is only ever used for "their people".
They would have to get rid of juries altogether.
Given that our current legal system was created as a direct reaction to star chambers and baked into the constitution, they have an uphill climb, at the least.
They don't care about the constitution man.
Trump will do an executive order, it'll get tonthe Supreme.Cpurt, and they will just kneelnon it for "time to think about it." And that will be it, its "the law" now.
Why do people keep pretending the Supreme Court always agrees with Trump. They've struck him down often and seem to be taking a very strict constitutionalist view. Most recent example would be the whole birthright citizenship ruling.
Obviously this court is terrible for many reasons, they gutted the voting rights act and ended Roe. But they're not getting rid of juries their record is clear there
The Supreme Court isn't going to curb its own power for Trump. Even with three of them permanently hanging off his dick, they've shut down literally everything he's done that could affect them personally.
they will give him a secret trial, or disappear to one of thier concentration camps in the south, which would mostly be texas, and the msms will never ever report on a citizen getting detained, at least not a white one.
