Well as the Roberts court has shown precedents can be reversed. Also expand the court and enact ethics reform.

Yeah, but the economic vibes that social media and the media have conveyed to me. What about the vibes?!And at least Germany had the excuse of being in a massive depression with insane inflation. We are going to be the first country to vote in a dictatorship in the middle of prosperity.

The only solution is to replace at least 2 of them and reappeal this back up to a new court to have it thrown out. Likely won't happen before someone declared themself King.POTUS = KOTUS
Color me perplexed and sullen over this development.
Seriously, what can the remedy be? There are 6 conservative members on the SCOTUS. This is rotten.
But that won't do shit to protect us from the next guy or get Trump convicted.It's hard for me to see a path out of this that isn't pretty dark, I agree. As mentioned the real answer is most likely to ignore it.
Generally speaking I think that's Biden's best path forward in general now, to say that from this point forward he views SCOTUS opinions as advisory only.
Yup when the inevitable appeal happens, put it in front more sane Court and the judgement will change.You now have a court that follows the constitution, and it reverses the prior unconstitutional decisions as cases come up -- e.g. Trump's appeal that certain aspects of his conduct were official business, then the new Supreme Court can obliterate the prior decision.
Sure, but nothing will outside of Biden seizing power or some sort of extra-constitutional action.But that won't do shit to protect us from the next guy or get Trump convicted.
Yup, that's what is so dangerous about this ruling. The only way to prevent the US from becoming a dictatorship is to have someone act as a dictator.Sure, but nothing will outside of Biden seizing power or some sort of extra-constitutional action.
I think a Republican would be punished severely at the ballot box for brazenly committing lots of crimes while in office. The problem here is that once that happens the results at the ballot box won’t matter anymore.Yup, that's what is so dangerous about this ruling.

They know Biden won't, but the next Republican will. They also know Biden would be punished severely for it at the ballot box, but a republican wouldn't be.

I’m not sure that will happen, as Trump doesn’t have any policy priorities outside of some racism and stealing and now he has no need for congressional approval.This is probably right. The bigger question is what happens when the electorate loses all faith in the electoral process itself and the new king is doing wildly unpopular things? This is a position we've never been in before.

My bet would be he just does some petty retribution, some crimes, and most people sit around ignoring it.
Tomayto tomahto. Ballot box won't matter, but if it did, Republicans wouldn't flee the party as fast as Democrats would.I think a Republican would be punished severely at the ballot box for brazenly committing lots of crimes while in office.

I think we have to appreciate how long it took after ruling for Trump to go full retard on the military tribunes and hanging of his political enemies.No surprise how Trump intends to use this lawlessness.
Military tribunals for civilians who do not bow to tyranny.
I repeat, Julius Caesar has crossed the Rubicon.
Trump Amplifies Calls to Jail Top Elected Officials, Invokes Military Tribunals
Yup, at this point it's inevitable. Biden won't, Trump's probably too old and stupid to figure out how to leverage aside from 'arrest MSNBC', but there will be a would-be Hitler or Putin or some other tin pot dictator that's going to run with this ball all the way to the end zone.Yup, that's what is so dangerous about this ruling.

Luckily for Obama he has enough wealth to get his family to get political asylum in another country. The average “liberal” government worker or member of Congress? Best be prepared for being locked in a camp or hung.I think we have to appreciate how long it took after ruling for Trump to go full retard on the military tribunes and hanging of his political enemies.
Was it all of 5 minutes? And he is not even president... Yet.
Obama is so toast if Trump wins...
These strike me as by far the most outrageous actions (ominous threats) by a former president or presidential candidate in American history. Is America now The Night of the Living Dead? Are we going to be devoured by zombies? Vote blue blue blue!No surprise how Trump intends to use this lawlessness.

More like Night of the long knives....

I agree, I also think a republican president wouldn't care at all about the ballot box while at least the current crop of Democrats would.I think a Republican would be punished severely at the ballot box for brazenly committing lots of crimes while in office.

we are living in a catch-22 right now in this country.I agree, I also think a republican president wouldn't care at all about the ballot box while at least the current crop of Democrats would.
I.e. Biden would care about the electoral ramifications but Trump wouldn't.
Trump certainly wouldn't be above a little quid pro quo.Yup, at this point it's inevitable. Biden won't, Trump's probably too old and stupid to figure out how to leverage aside from 'arrest MSNBC', but there will be a would-be Hitler or Putin or some other tin pot dictator that's going to run with this ball all the way to the end zone.
