@Nonilex It's a bizarre thing to say that originalism stole the Constitution since originalism is all about promoting the Constitution. So it's hard to imagine what this person might be talking about, it seems paradoxical and contradictory on its face.

@DoesntExist@mastodon.social If you read their ruling, scotus said the opposite, they spent paragraph after paragraph explicitly laying out that the president should face legal repercussions.

Heck, their conclusion was that the lower court should continue to pursue repercussions against Trump.

Yes, there's a lot of loudmouths trying to misinform everybody. You should stop listening to them because they are lying to you.

@samohTmaS No, that's not how the law works.

@ArneBab No that's not how the law works either. The Supreme Court doesn't decide the election, is decided by the EC as presided over by the people that we elect to Congress.

@ArneBab okay fine, here you go

@Phracker2Art having the nlrb declared unconstitutional would not allow them to break the law and underpay their employees.

So no?

That's not how that works.

@rightardia The problem is that whom the Democratic candidate is directly determines who wins the presidency.

@ErosBlog I mean, no less believable than the nonsense you spouted above.

Yeah Biden sucks. But no, the last guy didn't pack the Supreme Court with drunks.

@claralistensprechen3rd but they would if the Democrats chose a more electable nominee

@pinhman It's just really notable that after all that hassle nothing was actually accomplished.

These children need to be called out for what a waste of time they are.

@ZaneSelvans are you an anarchist trying to bring down the government?

That kind of ticket would be so amazingly ridiculous.

@ArneBab Well the US might operate differently from Germany.

No, that's not how it works in the US, that's just not how the US legal system operates.

@KathyLK

The description of what happened is a lie. That's not what the Supreme Court decided.

So you're right, the Constitution didn't have a thing to do with it. What is written above is pure fiction, it doesn't have to do with the Constitution or the Supreme Court. It has to do with clickbait and misinformation coming out of special interest groups.

No, The Supreme Court did not give presidents such immunity. In fact the ruling spent pages outlining that presidents are subject to being prosecuted under the law, contrary to reporting.

But never mind what the court actually wrote, these outlets are spinning lies because they get clicks. And that's just really a shame.

@cdarwin

@Downshift I mean, GOP officials have said project 2025 is nonsense, so I guess you're on their side?

@qkslvrwolf I feel so enlightened by your response.

@texafornia The thing is, even if your conspiracy theory is correct it doesn't really matter. We can see that Biden screwed this whole thing up, whether the conspiracy is true or not. And we can hold him accountable for that.

@KCSooner4Trump @realcaseyrollins @LoriQuaid

@thedansimonson contrary to so much reporting, that people really shouldn't be listening to, what the Supreme Court said was that the president can do legal things.

That's it.

If something is illegal, the president can't do it. That's what they said, and in their opinion they went on at length talking about how the president is absolutely subject to prosecution for doing illegal things.

There has been so much misreporting about what the Supreme Court ruled, but in the end it was purely a procedural ruling, saying that you can't charge someone for doing illegal things if the things aren't illegal. That's it.

Y'all need to stop listening to these sensationalized outlets.

@davidho

@MisuseCase Well it's more that AOC is just as flawed a candidate as Biden and Harris.

All three of them are generally rejected by voters.

@mozz Well right, people who want to win want to get rid of both of these flawed candidates.

@leswarden No it's not too late to change. If the Democrats want to win they can choose almost anyone else, because Biden is one of the rare people that might actually lose to Trump.

So the question ends up being, what is the priority for Democrats? Do they want to win? Then they should choose somebody who will easily defeat Trump. If they stick with Biden they are rolling the dice and there is no reason they should be rolling the dice if they don't want to.

They can choose somebody else tomorrow If they want to. Well if they want to win. If that's not their goal, well okay.
