Well, if he drops out of the race, he instantly becomes a lame duck president. I might be worthwhile for an outgoing president to take a test drive of these powers...
The Decline of SCOTUS into a Partisan Political Body

That was fast. Our courts are going to be tied up with the fallout of this decision for a long, long time.
Not that the rule would have forced healthcare providers to perform transgender-related care in the first place. Conscience protections still applied. Those who lack expertise would not have had to suddenly know what they are doing and prescribe drugs or other treatments. Nothing much changed in regards to healthcare providers, except maybe they could not kick someone out of their practice simply for being transgender. This was more about funding sent to the states and how the states spend that money.
- Two Democratic Senate committee leaders are seeking a special counsel investigation into whether Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas broke federal tax and ethics laws.
- Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who leads a subcommittee on federal courts, asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to make the appointment.
- Evidence suggests Thomas has “secretly accepted gifts and income potentially worth millions of dollars†since he joined the high court, the senators alleged.
Clarence Thomas Gifted Luxe Trip to Putin’s Hometown: Dems
The allegedly secret gifts were disclosed in a letter from two Democratic senators that accused Thomas of potentially committing tax fraud.
Not that anything will come of it, but it needed to be done:

I read this this afternoon and thought it might sound relevant.
To James Madison, Thomas Jefferson "wrote of the 'rancorous hatred' that [John] Marshall bore the government of his country, as well as the 'cunning and sophistry' within which he enshrouded himself. To Governor Tyler he said that, in the hands of the Chief Justice, law was 'nothing more than an ambiguous text, to be explained by his sophistry into any meaning, which may subserve his personal malice.' Shortly before this, in the Yazoo case, Fletcher vs. Peck, Marshall denied to the legislature of Georgia, on the ground of the sanctity of contracts, the constitutional right to appeal an admittedly fraudulent law. Jeffersons opinion with respect to this case is not clear, but he perceived in the opinion as another example of the 'twistification' whereby the Chief Justice reconciled law to his 'personal biases.'â€Â
Dumas Malone, Jefferson, and His Time: The Sage of Monticello, (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1981), p. 65.
Jefferson and Marshall did not care for each other.

Corruption, without consequence, infects all it touches. Congress must exercise its powers to impeach. The corruption of Justices Thomas & Alito constitutes a clear danger to our democracy. I moved to impeach them because it is the right thing to do for the American people.
#BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled UNANIMOUSLY that “reverse discrimination†IS discrimination
In other words, discriminating against someone because they’re white and heterosexual IS illegal under the Civil Rights Act
I can’t believe this had to be litigated at the Supreme Court, but this is a BIG win regardless.

I hate the term reverse discrimination. It annoys me to no end. There is no such thing as reverse discrimination, there is only discrimination.
actually wouldn't reverse discrimination be only being nice to people that aren't your race sexual preference and treating everyone like yourself like garbage?
Actually not. Until this decision, white, heterosexual individuals were not considered a "protected class"...
Nor should they be. Nor should anyone else. We shouldn’t have to compartmentalize people to treat them fairly.
