We don't know this - but some of us suspect that Bill Barr, as Chump's Attorney General, may have grabbed evidence (digital documents and videos) from the residence in the Virgin Islands immediately after Epstein died.

If that did happen - does anyone really believe Barr would have filed it in the evidence drawer for anyone to find?

I don't believe there's any particular number specified in the Contitution. I don't know what mechanism has been used in the past to change the number, but whatever it was, it should still work.

I personally believe the number of the justices should match the number of Juducual Districts, which believe is now 13.

But they would have to be confirmed by the Senate, sadly.

Biden should use Executive Orders to cancel EVERY pardon tRUMP gave his co conspirators.ManaFART Stone etc everyone. It will be an "official action by sitting POTUS". Don't like it? Take it to court...but those guys are going back into prison..NOW.( what Barr did to Cohen). It's the "reverse delay" tactic...action now, let them sue and in a few years it will be resolved. But DO IT NOW. If Biden doesn't take some action now and drive this ruling right up the SC and rePUKES asses it is weak and dithering.

So if Biden is immune for official acts, does that mean it's now legal for DOJ to issue a search warrant for Mar-A-Lago, Bedminster, Trump Tower, and Trump's 747 and if he gets in the way, order FBI agents to uses deadly force?

Not my idea, mind you.

§2383. Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

On the other hand, there's this:

§2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death . . . (public drawn and quartered comes to mind.)

Trump has been bragging about all the things he's going to do after he is elected but before he is sworn in. He said will he end the Russia-Ukraine war -- and we know that he'll do it by cutting off U.S. support for Ukraine and giving Putin the entire country. Zelensky will be executed. He'll yank us out of NATO.

I know President Biden is too decent of a human being to imprison Trump as a threat to the nation, but I wish he would.

You know that if there is a second debate that Trump will trumpet his unlimited power to "Make America Great Again." And God help us one minute after he is sworn in. He has already said Biden should be arrested, along with members of the Jan. 6 select committee. He has already said he will seek retribution against his enemies, real or imagined. Project 2025 already has a stack of EOs ready to be signed if he wins (this is not from my imagination).

Does this have any effect on the New York case?
