minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up61arrow-down13·2 months ago The president is free to kill his opponents, but he can’t forgive debt? Your corruption is showing Supreme Court. So Biden could just dismiss the debt and say it was an official act. To be clear, he simply lacks the will.
minus-squareWraithGear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40arrow-down1·2 months agoThe Supreme Court gets to decide what is an official act. And he can’t dismiss supreme court’s justices… however…
minus-squareExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up26·2 months ago And he can’t dismiss supreme court’s justices… But he can have them wasted now.
minus-squareThatuserguy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·edit-22 months agoIf he takes out the supreme court, it doesn’t seem there’s anyone left to disagree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

minus-squarebaldingpudenda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoI’m just a pleb, but wouldn’t his official acts be legal. It was ruled as legal, he killed them, then the new justice ruled it unconstitutional.
minus-squareduckduckohno@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoHe can dismiss them illegally and say it was an official act…
minus-squareMyOpinion@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down1·2 months agoThat is exactly what he should do. Then dismiss any Justice who disagrees with him as an official act as well.
minus-squareImplyingImplications@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 months agoThe ruling was that the president is immune from criminal punishment over offical acts not that the president can pass any laws they want.
minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoArguably, passing a law without congress would be an unofficial act and breaking the law. At that point, he could be impeached, and after impeachment, charged with a crime related to the impeachment.
minus-squaretechnocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoWho determines whether it’s an unofficial act? The same judges with the same fascist bias?
minus-squareFlashMobOfOne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoExactly. He’s already unilaterally cancelled bits of student debt for several categories of people. The SCOTUS is just giving him cover.

But he can have them wasted now.
If the Supreme Court agrees.
