   @roberttsai is he imagining something like a pensioner version of the hunger games?

     @michaelgemar @roberttsai @NewsDesk

     I have been hoping that the SCOTUS agree with this idea and Biden immediately has the 5 execrable Justices sent to Guantanamo.

     It’s such obvious bullshit.
     Can you imagine being the appeals attorney reduced to making this argument? You spent decades in school, training, practicing, earning the right to argue before an appeals court, and that’s what you’ve got?
     Or his other one about how courts don’t sit in judgment of presidents yet in the next breath that same decision notes presidents can be criminally prosecuted?
     Im embarrassed for him and I don’t even know him.

     @pkboi

     Trump’s attorney, John Sauer, tried to convince the judges that unless a president has been convicted by the Senate in a formal impeachment vote, he cannot be criminally prosecuted for actions he took while in office.
     The judges appeared skeptical of this line of reasoning.
     “You’re saying a president could sell pardons, could sell military secrets, could order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival” with impunity, said Judge Florence Pan, who was appointed by President Joe Biden.

     @roberttsai before the arrival of Trump on the political scene, this headline would have belonged in a dystopian novel. The sad truth is the shock value which it should hold (for it describes the epitome of a fascist regime) has been drained by years of Trump’s constant batshit verbal utterings.

     How does the US protect itself from a rogue ex-President seeking re-election? Are we witnessing the constitutional cogs whirring into protective action? If not, then how? The stakes cannot be ignored.
