Trump's demand came a day after Chief Judge James Boasberg grilled a Department of Justice lawyer about deportations of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members.

        If it escalates they’ll take a request for review of their earlier king making decision and hold it as misinterpreted which they can 100% do and that would remove criminal immunity for charges prior to the ruling.

          Well, sure, but before they render a decision, Trump can just have them killed, which at this moment is totally cool and legal, according to them. He can also have all of congress killed, which sort of blunts the possibility of impeachment, which as of right now is the only way to punish him in any way, according to SCOTUS.

            You dramatically misunderstand how hard power clings to power and moreover with this court money. If their judgements have no effect there’s no reason to buy them anymore.

              This is the kicker.

              If the Supreme Court is seen as defunct, the court is no longer valuable. All those bribes they received will stop, and I would imagine some may come asking for it back with fewer words.

    “He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties,” Trump wrote, referring to his own accomplishments of those benchmarks in the 2024 election. “HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING!”

    Oh for fucks sake, just shut the fuck up already. This is all you’re going to say each time you feel wronged. It’s not a mandate you stupid fuck and you lost the popular vote twice.

    “WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

    You know, this is interesting.

    Trump has power, but it’s granted to him by authority of Congress. He has legal immunity for official acts as president, by authority of the supreme Court.

    The theory of the balance of power means that Congress can strip him of that authority, and the supreme Court can determine if an act is official or not or if he actually has immunity or not.

    The way this works is based on money and sanctions (imprisonment, revocation of clearances, etc).

    The court can deputize anyone. Ultimately, what that means, is that as long as the court wishes to retain its power, it needs to enforce decisions.

    If the Supreme Court, namely Roberts, actually has his own interests in mind, the court can act accordingly. Otherwise, it’s just theater.

    We will now find out if the court still wishes to maintain its power, or if it has none at all.
