President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'd imagine that would cause deep confusion in Maga World. The narrative they run on changes by the day - hard to keep up. They hate Russia, they love Russia. Something needs to be done for the border, something doesn't need to be done at the border. Biden is an evil mastermind/crime lord. Biden is a bumbling fool.

 

I think SCOTUS might be unanimous in rejecting the effort to ban Trump from the ballot.

 

Honestly, a high bar to disqualification absent a conviction is a good thing. Hard cases make bad law.

 

I think 9-0 is entirely possible.

 

Should be 8-0, but Clarence Thomas is a corrupt piece of shit.

 

Remember SCOTUS has the presidential immunity appeal coming on Monday. I think that is a much more possible roadblock for Trump.

 

He has the 5 for delay unless one of his own appointees bucks. The three liberals and Roberts aren't enough.

 

Like a lot of others have said, I think based on how the oral arguments went, Trump will win this case, which is kind of crazy because his lawyer was really flailing to make a coherent argument, but Alito and Thomas basically did it for him.

It'll be interesting to see how the votes break down. Justice Jackson seemed very receptive to the ridiculous argument that he wasn't an officer of the United States, while Justice Barrett seemed highly skeptical.

A plurality opinion in his favor would not surprise me.

 

Yeah I hope they allow him to stay on. Opens up too many cans or worms otherwise.

 

Hope springs eternal. Even in the face of the continued disintegration of the country I love, I retain some degree of optimism.

 

Don’t care because fuck Trump.
