    If the Supreme Court rules the president has immunity, what would stop Biden from throwing Trump in jail?

      Because for some reason, Democrats insist on fighting with one arm tired behind their backs, out of this fear of being seen as unprofessional or something. Meanwhile Republicans are eye gouging and using steel chairs and get away with it. I think it’s time some democrats grew some balls and started using Trump’s bullshit against him

      Biden won’t do it because Dems are still living in a fantasy world where they can compromise with Repubs and not get stabbed in the back.

      If he does do it then SCOTUS will suddenly have original interpretation which makes it unconstitutional when a Dem does it, so IDK, maybe I agree that he might as well not stoop the that level.
