Really a contrast with the incredible immunity and power the US courts are willing to give Republican Presidents.

He should officially decline. Immunity bitch!

But like… unironically.

I am refusing to do so as an official act as president.

If only Dark Brandon would be allowed to send this to the court in reply

Supreme Court will rule this is not an official presidential act and hen impeach him lol.

We are watching the collapse of an empire.

Supreme Court doesn’t have impeachment powers, the House does. If Mike Johnson wants to impeach Biden, the option is fully at his disposal.

Like junkies hooked on fossil fuels, heading for withdrawal.

We say “we just won’t increase our export capacity beyond the doubling already approved for construction.” Then our broken court system finds a way to do it anyway.

Not that gas-guzzling Biden would follow through on this, but couldn’t the president just destroy the permit applications and call it an “official act”?
