Comment on The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate?

  Supreme Court judges must be confirmed by a majority of the Senate before being seated.

    The ratio is 50, and dems have 51 senators.

    Biden can order the murder of all the right wing justices and then the senate can rubber stamp them in.

      the dems would never go for that, though, because then they’d actually be doing something. even if you took away oh no the two senators that somehow always conveniently oppose any action they take, you can be sure that they’d pull some other poor sap up out of the bowels in order to play the villain.

        I mean, i qould hope senators of nay party would oppose a president that “legally” murders a supreme court justice, let alone 6 of them.

        The fact that these 6 have it coming is besides the point.

    Can the president declare them traitors and no longer fit for duty, thus ousting them physically?

  They didn’t change anything other than reiterate what the president is immune from, what he has always been immune from and when he is not immune from prosecution

    Absolutely nothing about this case is a mere reiteration of anything before it.
