'There Are No Kings in America': Biden Blasts Supreme Court, Issues Dire Warning After Immunity Ruling

“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”

Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

Good for Biden. He is completely right here.

So this is how Democracy dies, with thunderous applause.

Time to legally immediately replace every Justice except for Sotomayor and Jackson.

Why not Kagan and Jackson?

Jackson added, for sure.

Kagan no way.

Kagan has sided with conservatives way too many times with the “look, their conclusion is poorly reasoned and unconstitutional, but you can technically get to the conclusion constitutionally from a liberal perspective if…” and then she sides with the conservatives.

Poking around in legal details can be fun, but she can be a professor while we get someone taking action on the court instead of siding with employer-imposed religious mandates over employee bodily autonomy (hobby lobby), supporting the “Muslim ban”(trump via Hawaii), and crippling contract law so that class action lawsuits can’t be brought against corporations over faulty or illegal contracts. (American Express versus Italian colors).

Kagan is not helping people, get someone on there who wants to help people.

I wonder how long now until the north and south separate. I’m semi facetious, I don’t see how this situation can be resolved from this point. The Supreme Court has to go or else this ends one of 2 ways.

If Biden overturned the decision that gave Donald Trump immunity, then the southern republican states would almost certainly rebel. If Donald Trump takes power as a king in January, then the northern Democratic states will almost certainly rebel.

That’s some high-fiction you’re spinning up.

We keep saying that. But if you told me a decade ago that roe v wade would be overturned and an open fascist would be the likely next president and scotus also just ruled that presidents are literally not beholden to any laws then I’d have said the same thing.

I never thought I’d say this, but can we channel a little Andrew Jackson energy in regard to the courts?

urfavlaura ,

okay assasinate Trump, you’re legally allowed to do that now

Agent641 ,

That would be confusing for the secret service.

zfr ,

Is he going to do anything about it or just promise he won’t use his dictatorial powers for evil?

small44 ,

So why Bush was never held accountable for his war crimes and biden won’t either.

RedditWanderer ,

Whatever point you are making that they are treated as kings, it doesn’t mean we should make it any easier for them lmao.

small44 ,

I’m not saying that trump shouldn’t be held accountable and go to jail. I just don’t want to hear that for biden

eldavi ,

He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

yet he still won’t stop helping the genocide that would guarantee that he would win.

Audacious ,

He needs to take action, not talk about it.

cabron_offsets ,

He won’t.

Audacious ,

Evil wins when good people do nothing, especially when those good people have the means to.

funkless_eck ,

Another issue is in 2128 AD or whatever when we’ve totally forgotten Biden and Trump except in niche history lessons, and Throckmorton Cacadoodoo, the newest demagogue takes the presidency, like I know it’s “slippery slope” but man it feels like this downward incline is becoming more lubricated.

I like you optimism that it wiuld take that long instead of the more likely scenario of the next Republican president.

The GOP has been working up to this point for four decades, they aren’t going to wait now that they have the powers set up. They also don’t need to fear the Dems abusing the power because the Dems proved they can’t even get rid of the filibuster the GOP undermined to stack the courts.

It will be the next Republican president, not just the angry orange.

StinkySocialist ,

Welp he’s just gonna wait till let trump be the first to use it. We are still cooked. 🤡🔫

No kings but us.

Letstakealook ,

At this point, I think we just need to have civil war 2.0 and get it over with. It will be horrific, but unfortunately, they fucked up reconstruction after the first go around. I really don’t see another way out of this.

iamjackflack ,

There’s a simpler way, someone may need to perish. The vacuum left will eventually take care of itself as there’s no players strong enough to fill the void.

StaySquared ,

Payback’s gon’ be a bitch. The pendulum will swing the opposite direction with much more force, me thinks.

phoenixz ,

I’m wondering what side you’re on yet that doesn’t even matter. Your comment shows you’re little more adult than a 15 year old kid.

StaySquared ,

My point is the right and the left keep going to extremes. And the pendulum is actually an axe blade and all the citizens of this country are strapped to the table beneath that pendulum.

Revonult ,

The Left isn’t going to any extremes. They do almost nothing and it is what is allowing the right to swing to their extremes. This “both sides” take is disingenuous at best. A better analogy is the american people are strapped to a guillotine, the right is ready to release the blade and the left is still trying to debate and dicuss the merits of not dropping it.

StaySquared ,

Really? Anti-Fa? BLM? C’mon man. Either way, from my point of view, both sides of the isle are making our lives more and more miserable over time.

Lizardking27 ,

Fuck off troll, no one is buying your obvious bullshit.

_tezz ,

BLM: Stop killing unarmed citizens and being racist.

You: Why won’t the leftists stop being so extreme???

StaySquared ,

You forgot about the part where there was violence and property destruction by BLM protestors.

_tezz ,

Ah yes, some Targets getting broken into is equally as damaging and extreme as racist christofascists attempting to overthrow the government and subvert democracy multiple times. How could I be so silly as to forget.

bitwolf ,

Are they BLM protestors doing that? Or does chaos just bring out all the looters?

I remember in Philly the same thing happened after a football game. Chaos happened, then looting.

StaySquared ,

Dood… all I know is, there’s a difference between a rally/protest and whatever the fk BLM and Anti-Fa does to get their point across. And 10 times out of 10, BLM/Anti-Fa damaged their image thoroughly. And as for their supporters, the craziest thing to witness is someone saying, “well the property they damaged is all covered by insurance”… wat. But hey, if violence is the option chosen, don’t get upset with the consequences.

SaltySalamander ,

Was really unaware that Antifa and BLM were official wings of the Democratic Party.

phoenixz ,

Yeeaaahhh but… When the left goes to extremes youat have to deal with things that are strange or annoying. When the right goes to extremes, entire groups of people are pushed further into poverty, lose their rights, and die.

These two things are NOT the same.

Also: the right has been moving the goal post so many times that extreme left in the US is still considered far right in Europe. You don’t know what far left is.

Mango ,

Official act Trump right in his cake hole.
