Just sit down in the corner for a minute, and think of how trump’s supporters would react if someone actually stole the election like that.
There’d be a civil war.

If Donald is immune, isn't Kamala immune if she orders the FBI to throw him in the brig if (please, don't fuck this up! VOTE!) she becomes president?

They’re already demanding civil war if he loses fairly.

Yeah, that’s my point. He lost fair and square, and they refused to believe it and staged an insurrection. If you actually did pull something like that, out in the open, there would be a second civil war.

Biden could do it after the votes are cast, but to what end? We really need a functioning justice system …

Wouldn’t she already have those powers now as vice president?

We'd have to ask the Supreme Court if that's the case and the way those "super neutral judges" act... maybe we wait until after the election for that one.

Why not let the current president do it? He is still in office.

Pretty sure SCOTUS carved out the exception for only the president based on their bullshit logic that the president needs to act without waiting a few seconds to consult the president’s army of lawyers waiting on standby 24 hours a day.

Specifically several sitting justices have previous white house administration experience where they had to worry about consulting their lawyers because of the illegal stuff they were doing (like Iran Contra).
