    “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement on Trump’s demand.

    Yeah, and for more than two centuries, our Presidents didn’t have the Supreme Court anointing them as all-but a king immune from prosecution, but here we are.

        If it escalates they’ll take a request for review of their earlier king making decision and hold it as misinterpreted which they can 100% do and that would remove criminal immunity for charges prior to the ruling.

          Well, sure, but before they render a decision, Trump can just have them killed, which at this moment is totally cool and legal, according to them. He can also have all of congress killed, which sort of blunts the possibility of impeachment, which as of right now is the only way to punish him in any way, according to SCOTUS.

            You dramatically misunderstand how hard power clings to power and moreover with this court money. If their judgements have no effect there’s no reason to buy them anymore.

      Can we just fucking get a ruling that ignoring court orders is not a “Presidential act”? This is a person, trying to escape accountability.

      And for two centuries, it was universally agreed that presidents were subject to the rule of law and were not elected absolute monarchs. And which cunt was Chief Justice when that changed?

    Good thing you just ruled that the president has broad immunity for official acts as president, ya know basically making him a king in all but name.

      The Senate is trying to pass laws to make dissenting opinions seen as a mental illness. You really think they have enough votes for impeachment? lol

    “He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties,” Trump wrote, referring to his own accomplishments of those benchmarks in the 2024 election. “HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING!”

    Oh for fucks sake, just shut the fuck up already. This is all you’re going to say each time you feel wronged. It’s not a mandate you stupid fuck and you lost the popular vote twice.

    “WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

    And the irony is lost on you.

      He did win the popular vote this time. Not by much. He absolutely does not have a mandate.

      Popular vote 77,302,580[2] 75,017,613[2]

    Roberts thought he could collect money from the glory-hole of fascism and corruption and never get any cum on his face. Now he finds out he’s just another ho down on his knees for Trump and Musk. Watch Trump have the Supreme Court arrested.

      He won’t have to. A little bluster and Roberts will bend the knee and kiss the ring.
