    Except that it would be against the law, and it’s hard to contrast yourself with Trump if you are also now committing crimes (even if those crimes are for the bettering of the US). Immunity doesn’t blank your crimes from the public’s minds, and forcefully removing even bad faith Justices from the Supreme Court is not a great look when he has been campaigning on knowing “right from wrong” and respecting the rule of law.

      Trump is legit about to have those powers, and the only way to get that to not happen is for Biden to do something first. He will lose the public’s vote if he doesn’t (and he won’t, so he’ll send us straight into the Trump Kingdom). The time to play softball with these scumbags was long ago, and he’s still using the kid gloves.

      The GOP won’t use kid gloves next year.

      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!
