Helluva of a ruling a few days before the 4th of July:
We are not the country today that we were before July 1, 2024. Many of the national institutions in which we took greatest pride now lie in smoldering ruins. Somehow nearly 250 years of American history have been wiped away in the blinking of an eye. Long ago, the country's founders risked everything to shrug off the yoke of a king, to enter into a civic experiment in which no person would be above the law. We so venerated the idea, that on the pediment of our highest court, we had etched the words "Equal Justice Under Law."

Unless Biden is elected, or unless Biden uses his new powers before the election to -------- Trump, there will be an era of fascist repression and violence that no one will be immune to. No one, not even you stupid MAGA hillbillies.

The Supreme Court decision effectively rules that a sitting US president can now do to innocent Americans exactly what they have been allowed to do to other innocent peoples around the world.
Cue chickens coming home to roost!

#3. A sitting president has already done that.
Holder and his DOJ justified it.

#1 yawn. Seriously the over dramatization over what the SCOTUS decision is hilarious.
Holder already went through the exercise, only now it's formalized.

"It is clear and logical that United States citizenship alone does not make such individuals immune from being targeted," Holder wrote to Leahy. "Rather, it means the government must take special care and take into account all relevant constitutional considerations, the laws of war, and other laws with respect to U.S. citizens " even those who are leading efforts to kill their fellow, innocent Americans." www.brookings.edu

"A sitting president has already done that"
But it was inferentially directed to Muslims outside of the borders of our country-- individuals that many Americans think (or have been programmed to think) should be killed anyway. Not any longer, Christian white boy.

If I was Biden, and I'm not, I would go 'Game of Thrones' on Trump and his Reich Wing Enablers...

The Republican party needs to convince Trump to exit the race before President Biden exercises his Newfound powers.

Democrats have always been this irrational hysterical angry lot ready to burn, protest, and get violent as directed from their power hungry corrupt masters. Examine their posts and history. Conservatives believe in law and order. Dems want anarchy.

"Conservatives" showed the whole world what they believed on January 6th 2021. And their actions after have continued to show the world what they believe.

"Conservatives believe in law and order" he said, during a discussion about conservatives granting criminal immunity to other conservatives.
