Drastic times need drastic measures. Now is the time to increase the court!

@heidilifeldman hang on … just thinking … does this ruling apply retroactively?

I mean, he's no longer POTUS and his acts were undertaken before this ruling. 🤞

I’m no lawyer but if Trump is absolutely immunized from his conversations with DoJ because that’s under an official act, wouldn’t Biden be absolutely immunized from calling DoJ and ordering them to seize all of Justice Thomas’ assets using civil forfeiture because he thinks he’s corrupt? Or even just to freeze all those assets?

Seriously, this seems like a really dumb potential self-own.

@skykiss To make matters worse, he can order someone do the illegal deed and then pardon them.

@dougiec3 I haven’t seen it mentioned either, but the first thing I thought of when I saw he’d died. @dmandl

Remember all the things TFG wanted to do as POTUS but was held back by advisors because they said that act would be illegal?

SCOTUS takes those concerns away for his next term...

@anthonymkreis: "What does Trump v. United States mean for the Georgia case-- it complicates things. Mark Meadows and Jeff Clark may not be able to be prosecuted at the same defendant's table as Donald Trump and some of the evidence against Trump will have to be suppressed. But 90% stands."

In the November 1932 German federal elections, the NSDAP won 33% of the vote.

These were the last free & fair elections before the Nazis seized power in 1933.

Remember: fascists don’t need to win a majority of the votes to end democracy.

They just need to split the opposition.

Fingers crossed that French left & centre right voters truly understand this before the second round.

Today, my Administration is extending overtime protections to 1 million workers making under $43,888. And next year, we extend protections to 3 million more workers by increasing the threshold to $58,656.

That means higher paychecks or more family time for millions of workers.

We are under attack from a global RW fascist insurgency.

VOTE against RW politicians

@realTuckFrumper Time for the Biden administration to do what Trump wants to do. 1) get rid of the opposition, 2) declare marshal law, 3) jail the Republicans and replace them all. @SaanichGuy

@noondlyt @TonyStark
With this one ruling SCOTUS has de facto overturned FDR’s ‘New Deal’. He was the first president to so radically and successfully expand the Federal government to serve the population.

Their coup against FDR in 1934 failed. It looks like they have finally succeeded 90 years later!

@TonyStark I really believe that people don't truly understand what happened with this ruling. It is an overturn of how the entire federal government operates. SCOTUS became that which we need to be protected from.

#SCOTUS’ decision finds not only that a president can’t be charged for any official acts, but also that evidence involving officials can’t be introduced to bolster accusations made about unofficial acts. If I’m reading this right, Chief #JusticeRoberts has reversed himself from his position during oral arguments.
