In reply to the discussion: Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changes [View all]Herkimer
(12 posts)The SCOTUS already had an ethics code, as well as laws against such things as bribery. It did not work because the corrupt were placed on the court at least in part because they WERE corrupt, by a political party that has become so corrupt and anti democratic that they are as good as enemies of the state.
If Joe Biden has absolute immunity for official acts then he can direct the Attorney General to arrest the six justices on the high court for among other things felony perjury.
When you take an oath of office to the US to defend the constitution few people remember that you also have to sign an affidavit swearing under penalty of perjury that you took the oath and intend to abide by it. Not only did at least three of them lie to Congress in their confirmation hearings, they all have now attacked fundamental concepts in the constitution of checks and balances, and of separation of powers. They also have attacked the very foundation of presidential accountability and of the rule of law.
And two of them can be charged with accepting bribes, at least. All three of the justices appointed by Trump were to have recused themselves because they have a direct conflict of interest in the immunity case, he appointed them. Yet they decided a plea he made with direct bearing on his personal legal well being.
So, Biden would be well within his power to simply send squads of federal agents to the SCOTUS and cuff them all and take them in for felonies. And in fact I would also say it is his duty. But, we are going to lose the Senate in November, so the clock is ticking. We need to appoint six new justices to the court before we lose our majority there. You know for a fact that if these are arrested now, Trump will simply pardon them and put them right back on the court. Actually he would not have to pardon them and that would be awkward since accepting a pardon is considered the same as admitting your guilt. Awkward because we would then have a SCOTUS majority that all were arrested on felonies but pardoned for political reasons. Instead Trump would just order his new Attorney General (John Eastman?) to drop all charges.
I get attacked all the time by other Democrats for simply making up wild stuff and get insults like WTF you smoking and yet, how can you look at the last 4-8 years of what the far Nazi right has been doing, or look at their plans for the future and say everything is normal? We have a blatantly corrupt judge that has acted as an accomplice in Trump's serious espionage trial who prevented the trial from even happening since August of 2022, and now has dismissed it entirely on such specious grounds even the corrupt six at SCOTUS will find it difficult to go along with her. Remember Trump conveniently moved his residency to Florida in late 2019. A year later he lost reelection and later that month as a lame duck appointed a pet judge to that district court near Mar a Lardo which he and Mitch McConnell rushed through.
Democrats are treating ALL of this as simply coincidence and not as the crime it was and is. He knew he had broken the law, was planning to take military secrets by the truckload, and he knew he was going to need a pet judge in that district. Everything has gone according to plan. All she had to do was prevent his prosecution, she did. And it was imperative that she do because he is as guilty as f'ing sin in an open and shut case that would have got him at least ten years. He was convicted of 34 felonies, that is now in the process of simply being erased by the corrupt SCOTUS.
This is not normal and no matter how wild your imagination you cannot come up with scenarios more insane and and blatantly fascist than what their plans for us are!
