Republicans would fight it and SCOTUS won't let us have nice things.

Oh damn, well 'spose should never try to do anything unless the Republicans agree with it.

"6-3 decision; now students owe double the money directly to SCOTUS. we accept Paypal"

It would depend on lower courts to decide if it’s official or not

It would get appealed to SCOTUS regardless of any lower court decision

At least if he tried, he might win the election.

he litrally did try that which started this whole thing....

He didn't have a supreme court decision saying the president can do whatever they want as long as it's an official act then.

The president can simply begin killing SCOTUS judges until the court has a liberal majority.

But that opens the door to Republicans doing the same thing, which they would NEVER do otherwise (unless they felt like it).

So the Dems are powerless and the GOP has unlimited power.

Do that, have the new justices reverse the previous decision. Implement corrections to prevent such a thing from happening again. Problem solved.
