“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”
Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.
I like you optimism that it wiuld take that long instead of the more likely scenario of the next Republican president.
The GOP has been working up to this point for four decades, they aren’t going to wait now that they have the powers set up. They also don’t need to fear the Dems abusing the power because the Dems proved they can’t even get rid of the filibuster the GOP undermined to stack the courts.
It will be the next Republican president, not just the angry orange.
