Could Biden order Trump’s execution and win the next election?

    That was brought up as an argument to the supreme court.

    I honestly think that’s what should happen though if the court decides on full immunity, Biden should take out Trump and then help Congress change the rules so that he isn’t a king anymore and go to jail.

    It would be the single biggest win for democracy possible if the supreme court is stupid enough to end democracy as we know it.

    An incredible sacrifice by both men, for the benefit of the country.

      You missed a step in that plan of yours of also taking out every single supreme court justice that decided to give the president full immunity at the same time he took out Trump. Anyone willing to do that is clearly both too traitorous to the nation to be allowed to keep their and too stupid for not seeing that coming to be allowed to live and continue to do such damage in the future.

      (Disclaimer, not actually advocating for murder, I don’t think)

      Biden could just pardon himself, and then let congress fix the issue. He shouldn’t have to go to jail if he’s going to play by SCOTUS’s dumb rules

        I think the going to jail part is the “right” thing to do. The point is to force the country to make sure nobody else can ever do this, while recognizing that it’s still a bad action that needs to be taken in order to ensure it gets corrected.

      Send Trump and a few Supreme Court justices to Gitmo indefinitely, until they get the whole democracy thing sorted out.
