Fuck this timeline.

Reminder: in the presidential immunity case, SCOTUS ruled that an “official act” is immune, and only SCOTUS can decide what an “official act” is.

Obviously, this fascist SCOTUS would rule that anything Trump does is official, and anything Biden does is unofficial.

But…if Biden were to take some sort of action that caused a new composition of the court…the new SCOTUS could then rule that action, and any other by Biden, as official.

I think it might be time for Biden to take action.

Drewelite ,

Well wouldn’t SCOTUS not accept the changes until they deem them valid? (which they won’t)

Cryophilia ,

There are certain actions Biden could take which would make them no longer be SCOTUS judges. They would be replaced by new judges friendly to Biden.

sploosh ,

Yeah, but that would require real huge steel balls and the best the dems can do is a couple dried peas.

To paraphrase margery tyrell, “He doesn’t care about the consequences because he doesn’t intend to suffer them.”

Trump has fallen ass backwards into a perpetual get out of jail free card. Is it any wonder he acts with impunity when events time after time prove that he is effectively immune from all but the most trivial inconveniences?

I’ve never been more glad to be child free.

America is just shouting out of every place: “Down with democracy, down with the constitutional rule of law! Hail to a fascist state!” And still the biggest discussion is about some fumbling and age.

An authoritarian dictatorship is so clearly in your furure if you guys don’t wake up and spend your energy fighting against THIS instead of one another.

The rest of the world is really relying on you not to fuck this up.

Please?

teamevil ,

Please know lots of us in this country have no desire for this either.

norimee ,

If just everybody would get up and vote!

I just saw a post about Trump gaining and now leading in every swingstate.

Its the same with the shift to the right in Europe. There are just too many people uninterested in politics or not voting because they don’t like any of the candidates. These are the people who have to wake up and understand that democracy is at stake and that they are responsible for it, if they don’t vote! The extremists will ALL be out there voting so we can’t really allow ourselves to be indifferent.

Lets all just follow France as an example.

Please send someone who can aim better. Or give us an Iranian helicopter. Or a Titanic trip for half of our supreme court. We will owe you one.

The US are really speedrunning the whole “become a global laughing stock”, huh? How ironic that the cause of banana republics would itself become one.

Cryophilia ,

I wouldn’t be laughing. Fascist states, after their internal purges, tend to need to expand. After these fuckers take over America, they’ll come for the rest of the world.

Trump won’t win, especially not after his VP pick.

Cryophilia ,

Your lips to God’s ears

jwt ,

Oh c’mon man how naive can you be? Between Biden fumbling through debates that should’ve been child’s play and constantly forgetting names, and this guy getting martyred for not getting shot in the face, I’m sorry to say but this race won’t even be close.

(And that VP pick? People who are going for the main attraction called Trump aren’t going to give a rats ass about the VP pick.)

Hunter Biden was found guilty by a “special prosecutor” with the same bona fides Jack Smith had.

Judge Cannon just told us that Hunter’s prosecution was unconstitutional.

I feel like an appeal is in order.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

No no no, you see, it’s only when the special counsel is looking into a republican that it’s unconstitutional.

    In the immunity case, when all the other judges were writing opinions about that case, Clarence Thomas wrote an opinion about a totally different case, this one. He was signaling her to dismiss the case.

    Holy fuck.

    TallonMetroid ,
    @TallonMetroid@lemmy.world avatar

    Quite honestly, something like this has been pretty obviously coming from the get go. Cannon has consistently made no effort to hide the fact that she’s bought and paid for and was presiding over the case in bad faith.

    frustrated_phagocytosis ,

    OK, so hand it over to Garland and start from scratch. Not like the facts change, only the prosecutor's name.

    NABDad ,

    Sure, if he doesn’t win the election. If he does, this case goes away.

    You know, I’m beginning to think this judge Cannon isn’t impartial.

    What a nonsense decision, it should be appealed at the very least

    Edit a lot has happened so let’s bring some context to this: Hilary Clinton was derided as unfit for presidency because she had a secure server in her private space for emails, some of which were classified.

    Meanwhile, Trump literally had boxes of classified documents in a bathroom. Republicans are duplicitous, hypocritical and should not be expected to operate on good faith.

    Or if they’re not, then they should show some objectivity and apply the same standards everywhere. What a bunch of clowns

    Edit2 said a wrong word

    some of which were classified.

    But not properly marked as such per DOD regulations when sent to her.

    It will be appealed… assuming Trump doesn’t win and tear the justice department to shreds.

    Yeah our county is getting worse. You really stuck it to me! I hope you realize that it’s getting worse for you too. Next time a Democrat commits a crime they have a way out of it now. That’s not really something I wanted and I don’t think you really do either.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    No, these cronies only let their team off the hook.

    Captainvaqina ,

    Yep every American patriot hates the corrupt pieces of trash “judges” that the traitor installed, as they are ripping apart the rule of law and destroying the illusion of a justice system in favor of a felon.

    Enjoy your fascist bootlicking, you absolute piece of anti-American trash.

    Are you fucking kidding? So special attorneys, which have been used by pretty much every administration and every congress since the position was created, are not valid now?

    I’m not a law expert, but was the way she dismissed it make it so he can’t be charged again in either another jurisdiction or by the appropriate (in her mind) prosecution team?

    Yep. Good luck to the Trump administration trying to enforce anything between this an Chevron.

    That presumes the law means anything to them.

    As this ruling shows, law means nothing to the Republican party.

    I am trying to keep “hopeful” that they’ll stick to their Project 2025 plans in the sense that they’ll try to do it through legal shenanigans and loopholes rather than just sending out the Gestapo and keeping everyone in their homes with machine guns.

    We should all arm ourselves now. Every single bit of this is unprecedented, in the worst possible way. Better to be safe than staring down the barrel of a Luger.

    peopleproblems ,

    Counterpoint: if you are staring down the barrel of a Luger, I would suggest NOT doing what they tell you to do.

    The Nazis had a habit of forcing someone at gunpoint to do something worse than getting shot. Like telling you to bite the curb, or kill your friend, then they shoot you.

    I think we are agreeing with each other. Remember, the only good Nazi is a…

    I am, just saying a Luger is a better outcome than slowing dying after your teeth have been shattered and your skull cracked

    The gestapo was how the government enforced their legal loopholes and shenanigans.

    I don’t think so, it would have said dismissed with prejudice if so.

    snooggums ,
    @snooggums@midwest.social avatar

    She might just be incompetent and didn’t do all the right steps when she threw the case.

    homura1650 ,

    Also not an expert, but I don’t think so.

    The big threat of that would be a dismissal after a jury was sworn. At that point, jeopardy attached, so rebringing the case could be unconditional under the double jeopardy clause [0].

    The virtually unappealable way to do this would be to wait until the prosecution finishes their case. At that point, the defense will file a routine motion for a directed verdict that judges routinely deny. The defense gets to do that again after presenting their case. In either case, the judge granting the motion is not apealable.

    The judge could wait until after a verdict and issue a judgement not withstanding verdict, but that is appealable.

    [0] Not always though. A mistrial from a hung Jury can always be retired. Other forms of mistrial may be retryable depending on the facts.

    Maggoty ,

    Yup, Trump is getting free from his worst case on a novel technicality.
