I don't get the whole "holier than thou" mentality of the Democratic party. It IS the law and we need to follow it accordingly.

I'm not asking for Biden to execute 6 Supreme Court justices, but maybe he can throw them in jail as an "official" act.

Stop sticking to a playbook that no longer exists. Show real fucking leadership and demonstrate why their ruling needs a second fucking look!

As an official act, declare war on these domestic enemies of our democratic republic. Reread the Declaration of Independence again, TODAY! Of all days! Freedom has to be fought for. It takes risk and sacrifice, just as the signers risked and sacrificed. King Joe should show them what they did and disappear them using the executive powers. He doesn't have to kill them, just capture them and their cohorts, remove them from the chess board as it is, and then as an official act, put their lies and misdeeds on display. Show why these enemies deserve their temporary fates. Then, once his reelection is secure, amend the Constitution as necessary and put better minded justices on SCOTUS who have to follow the same rules of ethics every other federal judge has to follow. Then do what Washington did by giving up the kingly authority, pledging allegiance again to the rule of law and We the People. Submit that if he committed any crime, then tell the people that he can be held accountable by a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt like any other defendant. Any decent jury would find enough reasonable doubts to never convict him and no prosecutor with any good reputation would try to prosecute him. The current SCOTUS has no faith in juries. If they did, they would let the Orange Conman face trial and prove his innocence.

They worded and ruled the way they did, because they know there is a 0% chance Biden would carry out anything he would have to declare immunity for, because he is so worried about being a "both sides" politician. And the SCOTUS didn't make any of that "the law", it's still illegal, BUT the President can now claim immunity for breaking the law and nobody can do anything about it. It plays against the morals of the Left, since the Right sold their morals for power long ago.

And Biden could certainly do something that counters this without having to break the law, and exercise this new immunity. He could be running on expanding the Court, bumping the number to 13 Justices (one Justice for each US federal circuit court), adding new qualified Judges instead of inexperienced partisan hacks. He could run on adding rules on ethics and time limits for the Court, make the members (or a staggered amount of them) do a rotation out and back to one of the 13 US federal circuit court systems every 4 years (or whatever). This would go a long way against this weaponizing of the Court with bad faith Justices that are putting Politics/$ over the country and the law, and it would be all legal.
