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?

Because what they really did was set themselves up as the ones who decide what is and isn’t an official act.

As long as there is a right-wing supreme court, any action by a republican president will be official and immune, but if a democratic president tried to throw their weight around in the same… They’ll get shut down.

Simply replace the SC judges in an official act.

  Wait, maybe the justices just gave Biden the authority to do just that.
  
  …
  
  Naw. See, if he did, that’d delegitimize the presidency and cause a constitutional crisis.
  
  But, if a Republican President does it, it’s an exercise in upholding American freedom and the true authority of the office. See the difference?

    I would rather have the presidency delegitimized than take the gamble.

That’s the perfect! That’s why we nominate someone of Bidens age. Not only can he get away with it now as an “official act” but by the time the next court rules on it, he’ll be long gone

That presumes there’s still a ~~SCOTUS~~ Star Chamber to rule on the issue…
