This is a lightly edited version of a post on Threads.
I understand why the Dems don't want to be the first to use the new rule passed by the Supreme Court, but I think they should consider this plan:
- Arrest the members of the Supreme Court who just voted for the new rule about presidential immunity.
- Nominate six replacements, sorry no Repubs this time.
- The Senate ratifies them.
- Once they're installed, they hold an emergency session to restore Roe v Wade, and to undo all the other crazy BS they did and then revoke the new rule, and re-assert the rule of law that especially applies to the president.
- And I don't know what they do with the ones they arrested but frankly I don't care. Leave them in jail until they figure it out.
- And it's about time Trump was arrested and held without bail, so he can't do any more damage to the US while awaiting trial.
Patrick LaForge, a longtime friend who works at the NYT: "I think the distinction here is that the president can't be prosecuted for violations of law but they would still be acts unsupported by law that a court could block or an agency could refuse to carry out. But they sure have created a mess."
My response: Maybe starting to do it is enough to get the courts to undo the mess asap.
