The Supreme Court is possibly laying down a pseudo legal basis for approving a Trump dictatorship. We want a President, not a Dictator. SCOTUS seems to be open to a President with unlimited powers to commit crimes, including the assassination of political rivals and the rounding up of people in concentration camps. No accountability.
We want a President with limited powers and no immunity from committing crimes either in or out of office. No one is above the law. A majority of SCOTUS seems open to having a Dictator. We must find a way to stop this. Maybe Joe Biden and Democrats could expand the Court and nominate sane Justices that will protect our Democracy, not threaten it like these fascist sympathizers in black robes.

They have made that clear over and over.
We The People are not on their radar.

It is called We The People.
The institutions cannot help us.
It is up to the citizens in a democracy to do the right thing.
But what happens when a citizenry has the greatest moral collapse
and civic duty failure in US history?
Then it is obvious. Our democracy fails.
The people have decided to vote out democracy.
