"You guys are reading too much into this... There's no way that any reasonable person would consider that an official act and this hypothetical president would surely be swiftly impeached and convicted. You're worrying over nothing."

He basically said in the opinion:

"All you liberal women-folk got your panties in a bunch. Let an alpha male set you straight."

They're already calling Sotomayor's dissent "hysterical." It's not an exaggeration.

Yeah that doesn't surprise me at all. This has been his M.O. right along.

  1. Rule the most egregious shit that pretty much anyone can see where it leads.
  2. Call the opposition hysterical when they point out the logical conclusion of his ideas.
  3. Pretend to be shocked when the opposition is proved right if he acknowledges it at all.

But hey, just calling Balls and Strikes guys. Nothing to see here.

Biden's first official act: No one convicted of a felony may run for office.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That act won't really hold up. That's not really an action. It's taking away something ephemeral. Rights are not in the physical world.

Now, jailing Donald for crimes. That's doing something physical. And the Supreme Court could rule against him, and Biden could say, "Make me." And Don would continue to be jailed illegally. And the Supreme Court would have no say over the impotence of their own creation. And we'd have an impeachment hearing that won't go anywhere.

But Biden won't do that.

Trump would.

We can dream, can't we?

People keep saying this but the ruling was he can commit crimes not create laws. Besides, Supreme Court rulings only work for Republicans.

So he can't bar felons from running for office, but he could hire a hit squad and suffer no legal consequences?

As long as the kingmakers sanction it so.

And if trump gets elected he ~~might~~ will appoint even more corrupt fascist judges

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Not "might," "will."

Obama did it. He did it at least twice.
