    Honestly, I think a really quick way to resolve this is for Biden to jail Trump just because…

    If Trump wants out he’ll need to abandon his case, or he can remain in jail and know that he won.

    Basically it’d be win-win for sanity.

      That would definitely solve the immediate question, but I’ve a feeling it would create more problems than it solves.

      The idea does give me the warm fuzzies though!

        Yea… I’d have some serious concerns if Biden actually did it but it’s a hilarious as fuck thought experiment.

      How many divisions has the Supreme Court?

      They can order him released but unless they’re going to send a bailiff to try to break him out of federal prison, they’re just words on a sheet of paper.
