In reply to the discussion: President Biden needs to use those tools that have just been given to him by the SC re immunity. I was disappointed to [View all]CincyDem
(7,426 posts)...the fact that every liberal legal pundit, law scholars and 3 associate justices of the supreme court are running around with their hair on fire claiming that Trump is going to use these "new powers" to destroy democracy.
Seems to me that if these new powers can have such a sweeping negative impact in Trump's hands, there should be some good that can be done in Biden's hands.
Logically, we can't have it both ways...that Trump has all this power and Biden has nothing. Sure, a lot of it has to do with the kind of man who wields that sword and it may skew towards being destructive but to say there's nothing Biden can do feels like a failure of imagination (among people a lot smarter than me).
What I have exactly suggested is that Biden release unredacted Mueller and Steele reports along with the full evidentiary record for the 1/6 and documents cases. Trump wants to be tried in the court of public opinion - let's make sure it's an informed electorate.
