Exactly. The Democratic party needs to push the issue and make the GOP see that the Leopards can eat their face too.

Exactly. Maybe I didn't propose the "right" action -- the entire point is that if the SCOTUS won't rule a president does not have absolute immunity, and is subject to the law of the land, then really ANYTHING is possible isn't it?

But Trump is currently asserting in court that he does have that power! Absolute immunity remember? Who are you to say, peon, that the POTUS cannot dissolve the SCOTUS? He has absolute immunity, remember? That means he has absolute power to do anything!
What I was trying to say is that Biden should call the bluff, and force the SCOTUS to decide right now. Why not? If the POTUS really does have absolute immunity, why not? Do you see the insanity this road leads down?

I'll say it again: since the SCOTUS intends to slow-walk a decision on presidential 'absolute immunity', Biden needs to announce RIGHT NOW that he's dissolving the SCOTUS effective 2 weeks from the time of the announcement, at midnight, intending to appoint an all-new roster of his choosing, as well as replacing all state-level judges, also of his administration's choosing.
If the SCOTUS, on the other hand, suddenly finds they do have the time to make a decision on presidential immunity before that deadline, well maybe Biden won't do it, after all.
Isn't the Senate supposed to have a Marshall who has authority to haul people in who ignore subpoenas and the like?
The USA seems to have an awful lot of 'regulations' and 'laws' that have no real enforcement, it would seem.
Enough of 'courtesy' and 'expectations' for all governmental things such as this. Anything that isn't mandatory apparently will be ignored. Close the loopholes. Amend every law and regulation with the full expectation that every person it might be brought to bear to is a slimy grifter wannabe-fascist that will only listen to the very real threat of incarceration and jailtime from this point forward.
Oh, and give the President 2, maybe 3 pardons max and none exercisable in the last year of office. Or something. Geez, anything.
If it's not new-in-box, yeah, pretty much. I'm happy with my OnePlus-5T.
But immigration <> birth rate. Within 1 or 2 generations those new people will also not want to have kids since they won't be able to afford anything either.
Wow, another jerk CEO? I thought they were such nice people! We need to stop rewarding a-holes in society.
I refuse to buy any phone new, I always look for one 2-3 years old with verified stable support for lineageOS.
Also a good way to do a little to reduce e-waste. Many slightly older models have stock remaining new-in-box so it isn't always an issue of buying 'used' hardware.
Because the infection of Fascism and White Christian Nationalism has too many others in power who were in a position to soften her judgement; or too many are still in denial and aren't willing to mete out definitive judgements to stop things before they can go further.
The rot goes deep and is nowhere near to being rooted out, and the US legal system seems to be locked in 'kid gloves' mode in dealing with these people.
I'm real (or am I? Bwahaha).
Good.
