Wait. Does the #supremecourt ruling on #Immunity come into effect immediately?
If so, shouldn't the #Republicans and #Trump be worried that Biden now has carte blanche to, say, throw the SOBs in jail??
There's a lotta months that #Biden now has with this newly granted power.
@Shivadam No, because they knew damn well that he's too weak to use the power.
@LouisIngenthron I'm not so sure he's that weak. He is part of a team.
@Shivadam The speech he just gave showed how weak and ineffectual he is.
@LouisIngenthron Again, he's part of a team.
@LouisIngenthron You're not serious. Obviously, I mean it doesn't matter how physically or mentally weak he is, he now has unlimited power, which his team can initiate, and he can put into effect.
@Shivadam I didn't mean physically or mentally weak. I meant politically weak.
His team can't operate without his say-so, and he just said on national TV that he won't give it. His team is moot.
@LouisIngenthron I hear you, but I don't buy it. All presidents - with maybe the exception of #Trump - work as part of a team, or may be persuaded to act by a team.
@Shivadam Right, but there's zero evidence that his team isn't totally behind him on this.
The idea that he'd do a 180 before the election is very far-fetched.
@LouisIngenthron Nothing is far fetched now. This is a serious threat to #Democracy. When the going gets tough, the tough (here, the #Democrats) need to get going.
We must preserve Democracy.
@Shivadam Yeah, but as we've already established, the administration is not "tough".
@LouisIngenthron Sorry. You lost me there.
