They could be subpoenaed into a house select committee to undergo questioning explaining their actions . It would at least be a bold move and have them try and explain their reasoning to an equal institution under the republic?
There is no magic bullet, but you need to return some heat or else go under without a fight. It would also completely unhinge the conservative forces hell bent on a dictatorship.
They cannot currently cancel state charges, but the GOP is trying to change that. It is one of a raft of measures underway. Some are truely frightening, such as using Red State National Guard troops against non-compliant Blue States. Check out Project 2025 - the Republicans are even trying to hide their planned dictatorship.
Unfortunately they strongly signalled this move in the oral questioning bit. It was pretty much expected. Now bonking a porn star will become classed as an official act.
There’s move afoot by the GOP to get any state charges against the president to be elevated to the Federal court.
Guess who can pardon himself or have federal charges dropped?
The constitution is decided by the Supreme Court in the end. The American system of government makes the selection of justices political appointees for life. That is why you have Republican and Democrat justices. Political. So the constitution gets bent into any political shape according to power possession.
Don’t for a second believe that the United States can’t sleepwalk into a dictatorship. People are already describing Jan 6 as an ordinary tourist visit. What will it take for the public to see the danger with their own eyes.
I think that it’s Project 2025, but everything else you described is spot on.
Thank you for your detailed explanation.
The problem appears to be a lack of enforcement of already established law. Well, if you were permitted to ignore the law why the hell wouldn’t you? That is my entire thesis. Stop allowing “important” public figures flout the law.
I’m not sure of the person you refer to (sorry, not American) but surely that’s the problem. Not applying the law equally. Can a common murderer or thief decide that a legal direction doesn’t apply to them?
Never said he was. The constitution doesn’t have categories of importance.
I think that arresting a Supreme isn’t going to happen. For a start the legal machinations and appeals will take at least two years. But, a subpoena is at least fighting back, and a threat. What is the alternative? Hand wringing?
The Conservatives wake up each and every day actively trying to destroy the American republic. Do you think that overturning Roe was just luck? That was a 25 year process. I’m not advocating violence, but just not taking it when your balls get stomped. There are shocking things that can be done. Boosting the bench to overcome the current bias, bringing in terms limits, and subpoenas for corruption. The subpoena won’t necessarily lead to impeachment or arrest, but it will bring out every little dirty detail in public. Do you think that’s not a threat to a dirty bench?
Not so, I believe that Steve Bannon is going to the lockup for ignoring his in a week or so. I don’t fancy that the supremes will want to risk that. It just takes will to apply the law. That’s it.
Of course, the Dems will huff and puff and do nothing.
Subpoena them one by one and confront them about specific issues. For instance Thomas and all those billionaire friends who keep dropping money in his lap. Congress committees have the power to do this.
Let sunlight into the dirty little acts of corruption and impeach. Hit them instead of just complaining all the damn time. Also, six or seven year term limits. Then every single president will get a chance to appoint a couple and the bench makeup will be more balanced.
In a way, he is. He’s now claiming that black people will relate to him now as he is a fellow victim of systemic judicial persecution.
It’s exactly as it sounds. Like she is trying to strangle a rooster.
I’ll be watching with baited breath alright. It will be a show. One of them might actually die on stage. That’s not even the least spectacular thing that could happen.
There are several photos floating around from different angles, whites dominant. Just do a search.
The alternative that you are seemingly trying to avoid is that the Trump organisation is terrible at staging.
Taking your point seriously, are you suggesting that Blacks would do better under Trump and the GOP? I mean, they just spent the last 3.5 years blocking each and every Dem initiative?
The Republicans shove a stick in the spokes and when the bike crashes they blame the Dems?
I’m not even American, so have no skin in the game, but the American Kabuki theatre is open for anyone to watch. Plus, it’s way better than Netflix.
No, it’s more that it is another obvious failed attempt at exploiting an image. Remember all those white folk holding placards saying “Blacks for Trump” at rallies? Or, holding a bible (upsidedown) after he stormed a protest to a church (putting his secret service detail in a sweat).
You need to take a peek at what’s going on beyond the projection. It’s pretty obvious.
What exactly is the risk when considering the very real danger the court is doing to the country? Tolerating intolerance will only take the country in one direction.
