Honestly, if they were to rule that Trump is immune, Biden should immediately arrest the affirming justices and replace them with his own appointees, screw the process.

He’s immune, after all.

Of course, the new justices would probably hold Biden accountable and then recuse themselves to allow the displaced justices to return.

At this point I am sorta on the fence to break rules to fix things. Wisdom says that's a terrible idea, yet somehow it keeps popping up in my head.

Not sure we're quite there...yet. Damn if this climb isn't running out of stairs though.

Only a fool sticks to something like rules when fighting terrible people who ignore rules.

If you want to feel good about it, stick to moral axioms, like minimizing suffering. It becomes very, very easy to despise Republicans for being literal monsters.

If you want to know where to draw the line on your morals, stick to the paradox of tolerance. Who is being intolerant of whom, and what's the big deal?
