If he can solve this problem Biden will go down in history as the best president ever.

Otherwise. we are so screwed

and I repeat. We can't let them get away with this.

an injunction would be issued before the cops sent to arrest them could make their pre-arrest doughnut run. This ruling does not effect judicial review at all.

You sh*tting. The orange nutball has ALWAYS took the most extreme exaggeration of his thoughts and declared them the rule. If you think for a second he wouldn’t do the crazy crap and then threaten a judge also, you haven’t been paying attention.

and Trump will no longer have WH Counsels, Generals, and US AG's who refuse him in a second term.

Any attempt for court intervention will be long AFTER the fact and ultimately only six people on SCOTUS decide (and they have already signaled their willingness to absolve Trump of any and all ideologically-compatible actions--no matter how obscene, horrific. Preeminent constitutional law professors reviewing this, including Lawrence Tribe, have said as much.

The result was the Trail of Tears. Courts can't enforce shit without cooperation from other branches of government.

Oh, I know Biden won't do that, but that's a matter of Biden's self-control, not a limitation of his raw power anymore.

“They were mean to me.” Don’t do that. Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution. It is very specific, and this opinion ain’t it.

You are simply incorrect about this. There is no reading of either this ruling or the Constitution that can be construed to empower or sanction what you suggest.

And it is not how Joe Biden operates.

These are legally appointed justices by sitting US presidents.
With the consent of congress.

Biden has no standing to arrest them.

I do agree very much that it is high time to play hard ball
and fight back hard.

But this is not the way to do it.

I want Trump, Alito, etc. to be PUNISHED. I don't CARE about how they feel about it. I don't care about how trump-voters feel about it. PUNISH THEM. They are TRAITORS. WHY ARE WE NOT TREATING THEM AS SUCH? They spit on us, kill us, maim us, and we give them cookies and ice cream! It's SICKENING.
