    If the Supreme Court got involved it would destroy it. No one with any common sense is helping Trump, those that do also go down with the ship.

      Yeah, we’ve passed the tipping point where fear of prison outweighs the fear of retaliation from Trump and his MAGA idiots.

      It would all be up to how the Executive and Legislative branches react to the court’s actions. The House is Republican controlled and will likely side with the Supreme Court, thus rendering Congress from acting. Meanwhile, Biden isn’t even willing to change the courts, let alone challenge their legitimacy. He will likely go with whatever the Supreme Court decides in order to appear like he’s being impartial or bipartisan, when the reality is he will always be accused of sabotaging the Republicans by the Republicans.

      That would only leave the people to react to the Supreme Court’s decision, which if its anything like Dobbs or any other protest over the last 20 years, The Supreme Court has nothing to worry about.

        I believe the smart move is to let it all play out and not cause a Consitutional Crisis. There is no reason to destroy our government for someone like Trump. If I was running against him I’d be trashing him ruthlessly. Don’t give him any respect.

        How would Biden “change the courts?” (I presume you mean Supreme Court)

        He has already nominated a liberal justice, which was about the only thing he had the power to do. With a minority in the house and the ever slimmest majority in the senate, expanding the court or taking down one of them for corruption is not going to happen.

        If you want to change the courts, it has to be done by voting blue in state and local elections.

      The thing you’re forgetting is that the Republicans on the supreme Court have NO shame. They’ve been caught red-handed taking the most extraordinary bribes. And they are simply getting away with it, because Republicans in the Senate will not hold them accountable.

      For Republicans, holding on to power is far more important than any sense of integrity or duty or honor or stewardship.

      At this point the Republicans are really and truly all in on fascism. If Republicans on the Supreme Court decide to intercede on Trump’s behalf, they will make up excuses to do it. They did as much with Bush v Gore, and the court has only become more polluted by fascism since then.

      Plenty of people with common sense are helping Trump and don’t for a second think otherwise.

      If they help Trump and he wins there is a windfall for the corrupt and power hungry. If trump doesn’t win, nothing happens to them and the system is weakened for the next one.

      They win by playing, a weak rule of law is the end goal.

        This can’t be understated enough. He wants to break the rule of law and have his minions run amok creating chaos so he can come to the rescue and become the next great white hope.
