...as we're all full-up with worry over the prospect of the man who tried to overthrow democracy regaining the presidency, the Court went to great lengths to keep the convicted felon in the running.
Still feeling the effects from that last treason, with MAGA supporters still threatening the vote, Americans are now being forced to carry the full burden of stopping the inveterate lawbreaker from using the presidency as a shield for future criminalities which he's already promised several times to commit 'on day one' of his reelection.
This court did nothing to protect our democracy from the person accused of disrupting the last presidential election. The majority members claimed this was a decision 'for the ages,' and it is, just not in favor of our citizenry against the unchecked power of head of the federal government.
This is a traitor protection decision from the Court today, and it's not the last defense of Trump's criminality they have planned. When the appeals come back to the Supreme Court after the District Court hearing on 'official duties' they will try and cleve even more off of the Trump charges.
