    For real. Biden could seemingly imprison some republicans from both chambers of Congress, and secure a majority in both chambers. From there have congress pass legislation making felons incapable of running for office, and also allowing for all actions a president does liable to prosecution.

      You’re thinking too small, he could fucking have Alito and Thomas thrown in jail or hanged if he were so inclined, I’m not saying he should have them hanged, but he totally could based on this ruling

          If he were to do that he’d have to do it like this to save the democracy, do the damn thing maybe add his electoral opponent and a few others in, expand and fill the court, have them reverse the decision, then abdicate, turn himself in, and die a criminal hero

            Nah. I mean if Biden wants to go on an anti-fascist rampage I won’t stop him, but I think the six “Yes” votes will suffice. They’re directly responsible and provably corrupt, they should be the only ones to suffer the consequences of their false ruling.

        Which he taught to the republicans, which they just promulgated into law in the highest court.

        Why is it the dems problem? Republicans started this game. Granted, this is the same game that led to the splitting of the roman empire due to repeated assassinations of the emperor, but once the game has begun you can only play or be played.
