Biden should at least go full Office Space and move all of their desks to the basement of the Supreme Court building. Maybe pass an executive order where the justices all have to ride to work together on a special Supreme Court short bus. I’m fine if he keeps it petty but I just hope he does something to show how dumb of a ruling it is (but probably won’t).
This is a fine idea
He can forgive student loans anyway despite being sued.
Not possible in the way you think. First of all he wasn’t being sued over student loan forgiveness the government was, generally speaking you can’t sue the president.
Second the supreme court ruling is about criminal liability, that is/was a civil case.
And lastly of the 400 billion in student loan debt that order would have forgiven the Biden administration has managed to claw back something like 170 billion in loan forgiveness through other means.
“Other means” being what is directly inline with the unitary executive theory that conservatives have been pushing on you for decades.
JUST WAVE THE WAND is why people hate Obama.
If only
I think technically he could order someone with the legal authority to use lethal force to do that. So probably the NSA or CIA.
CIA “can’t” operate within US soil.
They sent it back to a lower court so the actual details can be delayed and decided after the election.
So no, Biden can’t. If trump wins he most certainly can.
Both sides
Okay so in that case what Biden could do is go ahead and execute all of his political opponents and then if the lower court returns that the ruling of the supreme Court is unconstitutional than the new supreme Court can decide whether or not to uphold that.
To decide if the list of trumps illegal actions are considered official like social media posts. Now that the rule is set to protect anything official Biden only has to put it on white house stationary to make any action legal.
Which consequentially defines what the president can do. SCOTUS did NOT give Biden permission to execute them.
This isn’t really a shower thought. Its been shared and posted and thought by everyone everywhere ad nauseum in a fucking record short timeframe.
Don’t you understand? Every post on Lemmy must be about this!
It sure would be a shame if certain justices scuba vacations happened to be hit with drone strikes
They shouldn’t have driven near the exploding spatulas.
Sure, but then there won’t be any conservative judges left to let him off the hook for it.
The hero’s arc
The remaining judges rule that the previous ruling was in error, the President says he was acting under the interpretation of the law at the time, everyone shakes hands and goes home.
Literally how the law works so every SC decision doesn’t set off a century’s worth of lawsuits
Doesn’t matter. He’ll be dead before they’re done litigating it.
We probably all will.
He doesn’t even need to do it personally since no one can question his ability to pardon whoever does it. So he could order it or just ask “Won’t someone rid me of these troublesome justices?”
He could have expanded the courts on day one of office.
All of this could have been avoided.
For some reason I imagine shirtless ripped Biden walkinging into the supreme court champer ripping a cig and saying “nothing personal, this is just official presidential business.” Slipping on some brass knucks and charging into a fray of bodies.
He needs to at least impale senators with the American flag.
“Presidential business, Jack”
Which is odd because it’s not at all what he would do.
What he will do is meekly protest this ruling, maybe say something like “I respect the ruling and the rights of the law” and continue to do nothing.
Be nice if he could fight fire with fire for once and show the right what they’re setting up.
