    Well he’s a giant piece of shit human, so I’m going to guess no.

      I don’t see any chance the supreme court could rule that he would be immune to charges for attempting to steal an election. If they were to rule he had absolute immunity it would be giving every president forward who wants to stay in office the right to just cancel the elections.

      That said, Clarence won’t want his name listed as voting against protecting little hands in this, so him stepping aside gives him the ability to not vote against, and look like he did the right thing.

        Quite clearly the Supreme Court doesn’t care about national stability. So who can say what will happen. They’ve overturned decades of jurisprudence, so speculation is fun but we really have no idea.

        They already showed how it’s done in Bush v Gore: just declare the case can’t be used as precedent.

          The Supreme Court is operating under Calvinball rules.

        That is what they want, though. They want a dictator.

          They want a republican dictator. A democrat currently holds the office. If they rule that Trump can’t be held liable, there’s nothing stopping Biden from doing the same successfully. And that should terrify them.

            They have no intention of letting Democrats continue to be president, though.
