    Kinda sounds like the time when they magically got to decide the elections because they waited until there was no time left instead of actually forcing florida to properly count their votes

    If they give the president full immunity, couldn’t Biden just do whatever he wanted

      Yes which is why they don’t want to rule until Trump has been voted into office or not. Trump wins, bam immunity. Trump loses, no immunity for Biden.

      In a just world, he’d unpack the court, by force.

      Not just saying “anyone who disagrees with my politics”, but Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Barrett have absolutely no business there.

      He won’t. They know he won’t. The only way to salvage the government at that point is if Biden starts shooting. The government is pretty fucked anyway if he does, though. I think he’d try to compromise all the way up until he is executed by the next Repub president, hopefully we have 4 years to prepare for that.

    A lot of ppl just pretend that the Supreme Court already made up their mind, but honestly I’m not sure.

    No honor among thieves.

    Trump is now on the other side of the power imbalance and if they stick to Trump they can’t trust him and might eventually go down with his ship.

    There’s a good chance they say “fk it, let’s get rid of him” so they can formerly make it look like they actually wanna be neutral and just stay in power, which in my opinion is the better move rationally (thinking as a psychopath).

    So for me, there is a real choice to be made and I will stay invested. Also, the bond issues on his civil trial still stand iirc, so he’s got very slippery pockets and a few vultures are getting acquainted with his situation.
