“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

    Good luck with that. You can “disagree” all the way to the concentration camp.

      You know what would be a fantastic way to spur forward legislation and law stopping the president from doing anything bonkers?

      Having the president do something bonkers that the evil assholes who are setting the field to make Trump a king, have no choice but to stop.
