For all our fantasizing about Biden ordering Seal Team 6, here's what he really needs to do ASAP: [View all]

Address the nation in prime time, about this SCOTUS ruling.
Biden needs to outline the immunity and powers the ruling gives the president, including the ability to assassinate opponents.
He needs to compare this ruling to Germany’s enabling act, and how it sets the stage for America’s descent into dictatorship.
He should specifically label this ruling as a threat to democracy.
He should call out Thomas and Alito as two supporters of the insurrection who refused to recuse.
He should announce proposed legislation, and perhaps even constitutional amendments on court reform and presidential accountability, and call on Americans to pressure congress to pass/ratify them before the summer recess/Labor Day.
Biden should then state, unequivocally (using his best Dark Brandon/Clint Eastwood glare), that if congress doesn’t act, using the powers vested in him by the constitution and the Supreme Court, he will.
UPDATE, Tuesday 7/2:
Sadly, Biden's response yesterday was, IMO, woefully inadequate; in addition, according to Rolling Stone, the WH also released a statement yesterday reaffirming Biden's opposition to expanding SCOTUS.
