Johnson demands all Trump prosecutions cease, vows to use Congress 'in every possible way'

66. "If" tsf gets immunity from SCOTUS is not likely. It's not reasonable to live as if your hypothetical is fact.

This isn't about "engineering" a dictatorship. It's about ending The People's protections under rule of law so that they can do harm to those they round up as their so-called enemies.
It's not about who they are.
It's about who we are. We cannot treat them unlawfully. It's not who we are.

That's not "playing nice." It's about how adults have the agency to govern those who refuse to behave according to the rule of law -- it's why we have law enforcement, judges and courts.
That's what stops them. Not tit for tat, which shuts down any progress. Adults govern others the way they govern themselves; they keep the law to keep a just peace that descendants can thrive in. As Nancy says, "for the children."

No one who's like lawbreakers can stop them -- if they were, that's 'all against all,' reverting to some law of the jungle that can lead to political violence. Not to mention it feeds into corporate 'normalizing' of the worst behaviors of one group by messaging "See? Both sides do it!"
