‘There Are No Kings in America’: Biden Blasts Supreme Court, Issues Dire Warning After Immunity Ruling
dailyboulder.com

“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

So, Biden can order seal team 6 to permanently fix the Supreme Court by removing 6 and leaving 3 alive. Gotcha.

After all, those 6 argued that he has the right to do so.

Democrats will continue to give sternly worded remarks all the way up to their appointment with the gallows, so brave!

Ugh, it's literally Julius Caesar vs Cato all over again.

Biden is Cato obviously.

Only if he claims it’s an official act though! Don’t forget that part! Write “official act as president” on everything!

If he issues it as an executive order, it works.

It doesn't have to be an executive order, he's in charge of the military. Any command he gives them is an official act, and can't be questioned now.

And then he can pardon them as they don't have the same immunity as he now has. Pardons are also official acts.

Only for federal crimes, but that covers most things involving the military anyway

Also, I'm not sure being pardoned has an impact on if they can be discharged for following an order that a tribunal disagrees with. They might not end up in jail, but it could be the end of their military career

Biden fucking dumbass going blast no kings well I can promise you if Trump wins exactly how he will act. He will take Full of advantage of this ruling.

Best thing Biden can do but he want is take advantage of it to in helping out the American people.

Any seal team actually, also various other military personnel.

It is up to congress to stop that not the courts. He should be impeached if he tries that.

He should. But he should still do it, and ST6 moves faster than congress.

Uh what... How do you figure?

Congress can expand the court to put the corrupt asses in minority and them the ruling can be reversed

Just tell Joe that there are six Palestinian children on the court and he’ll get right on it.
