   Exactly. Under Trump, and thanks to his fully owned SCOTUS Six, "official acts" are now "official crimes". He will be Chief Criminal Officer of the Criminal Branch. The only executive function he'll carry out is execution of his opponents.

     On an emotional level many surely share the sentiment.
     But you can't defeat autocracy with autocracy.

     It is better follow through with Prof Tribe's and Judge Luttig's initiative within the confines of law and democratic boundaries. And a grassroot movement pushing for amendments fixing what's wrong starts with demos and actual signatures on paper delivered.

     Elledeeay repeated this.

     I don't think I was advocating for autocracy unless you interpreted the "locking them up" part for that. All we have to do is apply the laws to them as has been done this far. If the prosecutions had started a year earlier we might have stood a reasonable chance of Trump and many more of his cronies already in jail. As it is if he gets in he'll immediately have the Justice Dept drop all charges on him which should never be possible but is.

     He could in theory just say they have been involved with domestic terrorists plotting to overthrow the country and whisk them off to a black site. Completely legal and unprosecuteable now.

     Sometimes it is important to say the unlikely out loud and often.

     For 248 years, the norm was, the president is not above the law. When the Republicans unjustly covered for Trump the 2nd time, they argued that he can be prosecuted, and it is in the records of Congress and Senate.

     SCOTUS' opinion is radical and not based in the Constitution.

     It is time to push back and speak about SCOTUS' lack of immunity for their obstruction of justice.

     @silkester @enmodo @LindaCollins11 @Tbsa Hello? What are we waiting for? The SC can’t just say anything and expect us to follow them. Their findings must have a logical basis in Constitutional Law. That is all our immune President needs to say.

     Not exactly. Crimes are still crimes.

     And since the POTUS' core function is faithfully uphold the law, anything outside of that could be viewed as outside of his core function and a private engagement provided the DOJ is willing to play hardball on this and even threaten SCOTUS with charges after the fact if they don't come to their senses.

     IMO it's a real stretch to imagine DOJ "is willing to play hardball" for us after what we saw in the Trump Dictatorship beta test. The AG knows if they don't play ball for Trump he'll get another and just keep on firing or bribing them until one shows up that does. Project 2025 ensures there's a long line of compliant lackeys pledged to serve Trump first. Even if we hold the House and Senate we'll never get the super majority required to impeach these traitors.
