The 2024 Presidential Election

I don't, either.

Generally speaking in regards to Trump - yes, despite some conflicts of interest from Thomas - they have generally ruled what is reasonably within the law as has virtually every judge not named Aileen Cannon.

we'll see, but I hope that the worrying is much do about nothing. I suspect they're probably going to rule that he can be on the ballot, but they're going to have a serious problem unless they want to legislate from the bench for what specifically constitute presidential immunity, too. I hope Roberts is able to get a large consensus that is not just an ideologically drawn conclusion on this.

I predict that Cavanaugh and Roberts, perhaps even Gorsuch, oppose unlimited immunity. I'm actually more concerned about the regulatory delegation case coming up. Most don't remember that his mother was hired by Reagan essentially to gut the EPA...

I just don't see the courts siding with unlimited immunity at all. The immunity thing might even turn out to be a non-factor regardless because SCOTUS agreed to hear Joseph W. Fischer v. United States. The outcome of this one could potentially affect a great many J6 defendants....including Trump.

Indeed! However, the immunity question is still the more far-reaching...

As learned the SC justices are, they probably still in their bias fail to recognize if the do this there really wouldn't be a need for the Supreme Court since then President could do whatever he wanted to. If you have that kind of power you don't even bother with going to court... Cornfields become more important though...

He's begging the SCOTUS for the "get out of jail" card. If they decide in his favor, he or any following president could just jettison the Constitution...

Yeah, this one.


Members of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seemed inclined on Wednesday to limit or even overturn a key precedent that has empowered executive agencies, threatening regulations in countless areas, including the environment, health care and consumer safety.

"government is stupid and needs to be dismantled" has long been a primary part of the puke funnel rhetoric. lee atwater explained it when he described the gop's southern strategy

It's not just you. I'd bet the mortgage that Biden will drop out after the primary. As for Trump, there will be threats aplenty.

I don't understand. Assuming Biden wants to drop out, why in the world would he drop out after the last primary rather than now?

Why would Biden want to drop out?

How much is your mortgage worth?

I just think it's an easy way to pick a candidate without interference from all those meddlesome voters. His approval ratings are a liability whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Party leaders have to do something.

And I don't actually have a mortgage anymore. Paying off my house was one of the highlights of my life. 😉
