Illegitimate Republican SCOTUS's gift to Trump --
Our democracy has been gravely wounded

The Trump immunity decision says: a president CAN VIOLATE THE CRIMINAL LAW if he acts within his broadly defined “constitutional authority”
Absurd and dangerous
There is no basis in the Constitution for this Court constructed…
This is a big part of why the ruling is a bigger win for Trump than many of us had been expecting. It’s not just which acts will be immune; it’s how this will hamstring efforts to prosecute even those acts for which there *isn’t* immunity. That’s why Barrett concurs only in part. https://t.co/SwIofaiBqs

Justice Sotomayor's dissent is one of the most terrified and terrifying pieces of judicial writing I've ever encountered—she lists the criminal acts that presidents can now take with immunity and says "the president is now a king above the law." https://t.co/ovLYlcsF4s pic.twitter.com/6mx4nP0SHE

Bottom line: This case is not going to trial any time soon. There is the possibility of additional appeals as Judge Chutkan makes some of the decisions about official versus private conduct, etc. It's a mess. https://t.co/MraXDiZfMN

... and Biden? --
Biden's next act with his new presidential immunity:
— Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) July 1, 2024
Create 4 new seats on the Supreme Court, by executive order.
He can add a binding ethics code as well. And a special counsel to investigate corruption on SCOTUS while he's at it.
"Should I stay or should I go" --
What Biden owes his country if he stays in after the debate disaster. Every decision he makes from now on, including whether he stays in the race, must prove he means what he says about the grave danger Trump poses to our democracy.

I am finishing my second battleground state poll post-debate and both surveys show the same thing: the debate had no effect on the vote choice. The election was extremely close and competitive before the debate, and it is still extremely close and competitive today.

A party that's won the popular vote once since 1988 is running a convicted felon for president? And it's the other guys who are in trouble?
