    Politician attacks establishment when the establishment doesn’t prosecute her political opposition to the extent she wants.

    For once, I just want Democrats to take a fucking bold brazen move. Seriously. This is why Democrats never control the narrative because they’re always too gun-shy to do the right thing and stand by their own beliefs.

    • Ditch the 81-year-old clearly suffering cognitive decline; run what would be a viral media frenzy that is an open convention and an American Idol contest for the American people.

    • Or fuck it: AOC will be old enough to be President this year. Even if she can’t get the nomination, she should start campaigning literally today until 2028, just like Trump does.

    Here me out: Supreme Court justices, Seal Team 6, official act. You don’t even have to pack the Court any more.

    I’m a little confused. Isn’t their ruling just a deferral back to lower courts?

    They didn’t grant him absolute immunity, they just reaffirmed the incredibly broad language in Article II Section 3 of the Constitution.

    They’re not giving him immunity for everything he did as president, they just aren’t interested in being the authority that decides what is or isn’t an “official act”. They are letting lower courts decide that.

    If there’s something I’m missing here, I would love to know, but it feels like people are misunderstanding this decision en masse.

    She wont be able to do anything. The reason supreme court decided to move forward with this decision is because they are 100% confident that Trump will win presidency and republicans will control both the house and the Senate. After seeing Biden in the last debate, I believe they are right.
