Would love to hear the followup question, "If the president decides a supreme court justice is a corrupt person..."
That was entirely my point I made a couple weeks ago. If they move ahead on that decision, then Biden would be within his rights to have the consenting judges hung and replace them, hanging any members of congress or senators that tried to block the appointments. Then he could ask that court to reconsider the decision, and he would have been immune for these actions that occurred during the hiatus of accountability.
Seems like a fairly straightforward solution.
There is no stopping the justices from putting big caveats around their ruling.
It could be "in this very specific case with this very specific person at this very specific time we agree that the president is immune from prosecution. Any other acts by this or any other president are not included in this ruling."
