What's to stop Biden from using the SCOTUS decision in his favor?

[unitedwethrive]

Why not put out a plan to keep trump from assuming office if he should win? As long as one of the houses of congress remains a Democratic majority, he knows that he could not be charged (thanks to today's SCOTUS ruling). Even if he doesn't intend to do so, it might push the court into issuing an addendum to their decision.

And...if he does intend to do so, he would go down in history as the person to save our Democracy. It is bold but could be a win - win.

1. To much class, believes in our government, doesn't want to be a dictator,

not like trump.

2. I think you're confusing this case with the immunity case,

which has not been heard or decided yet. Biden has no role in the just-decided Anderson case or its consequences.

5. I agree with Ocelot II - wrong case

6. From what I understand,

today's ruling was that states could not make a judgement of insurrection, that it has to be done by congress. Therefore, in this environment, if a president has at least one chamber of congress on their side, they will not be found guilty if they prevent a transition of power.

8. That's not what it says. All it says is that individual states don't have the power

to keep a candidate for federal office off their ballots. It has nothing to do with whether a president can be prosecuted for acts of insurrection. Two different and unrelated issues.

3. I actually thought of this exact thing. Pres. Biden, if anything, would be saving Democracy. Isn't that the goal of

every President (except the traitor tRUMP, who's in it only for himself and not America). What could they do to Pres. Biden, if he were to arrest djt, and charge him w/ insurrection? tRUMP, many times has insinuated such actions, to take the government over by force, invoke the national guard should he win again. He threatens us almost on a daily basis.

4. Probably be the FASTEST way to get a decision

Fro THIS SC!

7. How on earth would that be in his favor?

Why not put out a plan to keep trump from assuming office if he should win?

How could that possibly sell to the masses?

"He tried to keep me from taking office even though I won... so he should not be ale to take office even though he won" ?
