(269,263 posts)Donald Trump on Tuesday made his case to the U.S. Supreme Court that his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt was part of his official duties as president and is therefore immune from prosecution.

(57,447 posts)... an attorney qualified to go in front of the SCOTUS with a garbage argument like that. Most attornies who go in front of the SCOTUS are proud of that right and would never risk their reputation putting up something this stupid.
Watching him sink may be slow a slow process but it is very satisfying.

(23,190 posts)Of course, no other president can do this, just tsf - that is what I expect them to rule. Their christofascist leanings are the only thing they care about and they are determined to disrupt our democracy to install their preferred dictatorship.

(23,190 posts)Then Biden needs to put on his big boy pants and update SCOTUS to reflect the # of districts in America - which would mean adding 4 new justices and he needs to appoint them immediately. Of course Senate will also have to disallow filibuster, but with Mancin and Sinema gone, if we have the Senate this should be doable. Is this a dream, yes and it's unlikely to happen but it certainly should.
