The progressive comic about the Supreme Court's obeisance to Trump.

The Supplicant Court

I prefer Presidents who don't require a specific list of rules telling them who they can and cannot kill when they've had a bad hair day.


------------

An anagram for "Supreme Court" is "Scrotum Puree". Make of that what you will.

------------

Since the assembled Supreme Court didn't immediately, as one, give a firm and boistrous "No!" to the question of whether a President, or former President, has immunity for criminal activity President Joe Biden should have said "This means I'm immune. Thanks for clearing things up."

At which point:

1. The President would lock all six Trump justices, along with all Congressmen and Senators known to ally with Russia, in the nearest Marott.

2. With a super-majority of Democratic Senators and Congressmen Mr. Biden could then sit a new set of six Justices on the Supreme Court using a list of recommendations provided by the Bar of Washington, not the Heritage Foundation.

3. The newly assembled Supreme Court would quickly address the Presidential immunity question and make a decision based on the intent of the Constitution. Meaning, the President has no special immunity during or after his adminstration.

4. Exactly one minute before this decision is set into law the Judges and Congressmen would be given their freedom. Mr. Biden would also then pardon all government workers involved in these actions. Since Joe Biden had immunity during this process he could face no legal consequences.

Hope you're listening, Joe.

------------

Michael Dreeben, representing the U.S. before the Supreme Court yesterday, just stuck his very pointed thumb in the eye of the six Conservative Judges:

"I would take issue, Mr. Chief Justice, with the idea of taking away immunity. There is no immunity that is in the Constitution unless this court creates it today."

------------

Sooo unhappy with the Supplicant Court yesterday as they now seem poised to send the case back down to a lower court for clarification of the Presidential immunity rules. Which means if Trump steals the next election his Gang of Six will have another opportunity at making him emperor because Trump's lawyers will, without doubt, relitigate the rules.

When President Joe Biden wins the next election, and he will, he needs to send a case to the Supreme Court that forces them to set precedent, in detail, of just how immune a President can be in eyes of the Court. Enough already with giving evil men like Trump/Putin loopholes to work their will against this tortured Republic.

Re: Debate

DJT may boast about wanting to do it, but he never will do it. At the last minute he'll cancel and blame it on the weather.

Everybody, including Trump, knows that blanket immunity is a farce. The point is that the Supine Court can then waste as much time as it needs to discussing invented fine points until the election is over.

This would be more obvious if Trump declared that 2+2=5.

After 2 courts point out that this is bullshit the Supreme Court says,

"Well, this poses and interesting question. 'Under what conditions could 2+2=5?'
For example, if the numbers were 2.3 and 2.35, both closer to 2 than any other number, the sum would be 4.65, closer to 5 than any other number. We need to rule on when exactly this situation applies."

Both claims are equally ludicrous. It's just easier to obfuscate with Trump's bogus claim because real life is way more complex than arithmetic.

Today's Doonesbury (March 28) has let the cat out of the bag: "TRUMP HAS DEMENTIA!"

I guess that kinda makes it official now, right?

Michael Bleiweiss

I agree that President Biden should debate Donald Trump, but only on two conditions:

1) There be a constant fact-checking scroll at the bottom of the screen

2) Trump's microphone is cut off immediately at the end of his allotted time and as soon as he asserts he won in 2020.

Biden wouldn't

Need to have anyone killed. Just Black-Site them. Shutting up His Mouthitude would be enough. He just won't STFU.

Judge Alito goes full-successionist in Trump immunity case.
All for one. And that one is Trump.

President Joe Biden announces he'd love to debate Donald "Covfefe" Trump.
Joe only stutters mildly and can control it. Trump has no way to turn off the faucet once he loses control.

Trump's lawyer tells Supreme Kangaroo Court the President can kill on anyone a whim.
"If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or order someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts that for which he can get immunity?" Sotomayor asked.

"It would depend on the hypothetical," Sauer responded. "From what we can see, that could well be an official act." There you have it folks, The 5th Avenue clause of the Constitution.

Majority of Americans no longer trust the White Supremacist Court.
“If it seems like it’s just another conservative institution, then that will further erode trust. But if they can combat that perception, that will help to go a long way toward restoring at least some of that,” he adds."- Matthew Levendusky. Sorry Matt. www.historynet.com/the-nine-greatest-supreme-court-justices/ Even if these nine rose from the grave and ruled their modern counterparts out of order, the damage has been done.

Biden administration makes airline travel better for consumers.
Sorry. Not more legroom. But cash refunds for cancelled flights and full disclosure ticket prices are nice too.

If immunity is upheld, prez Biden can immediately snuff the defendent. Go ahead: RULE!
