All I've heard from MAGA so far is that fake electors aren't illegal, followed by some explanation involving JFK and Hawaii. Now Trump himself is admitting that they're illegal, but he's immune?

A lot more people are about to go to jail for him.

Also, fuck MAGA for trying to nullify my vote.

If Trump is reelected, there's about to be a whole lot of people within official act range.

The Supreme Court members who made this decision are in official act range right now at this moment. Donald Trump is in official act range at this moment as well. Not to draw conclusions but I'm not sure how serious the Democrats are about staying in power.

The should just be honest:

“Yes this is bad, but we might want to use this power ourselves so we won’t do anything to reverse it. You just need to vote so only WE have the power to use it.”

Honest question: What should democrats do to reverse the Supreme Court?

Kill or forcibly resign everyone on the Supreme court who voted in favor of the decision, appoint new justices, and have it overturned.

More realistically? Add more members to the Court so they're the majority and then overturn it.

99% of democracies give up right before hitting it big and concentrating supreme power in the hands of a benevolent dictator.

Examine this change of logic. The democrats want a mandate from the people before they act antidemocratically? So that they can maintain the highground when they do an inherently lowdown thing? And they could do it now but they want a blue election first? Are you a snake eating its own tail?

Speaking to CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday night, Will Scharf, an attorney for the former president, laid out the next steps for special counsel Jack Smith's case following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have absolute immunity for their official acts but no immunity for private acts.

In a federal indictment filed in August, Trump is facing four charges pertaining to his alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Speaking to Collins, Scharf said that Smith's "case should be dismissed" because it concerns official acts not private ones.

Meanwhile Trump celebrated the ruling in a post to Truth Social, writing: "BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY.

The Biden campaign, on the other hand, said the ruling would not "change the facts" that Trump tried to "overthrow the results of a free and fair election."

"Trump is already running for president as a convicted felon for the very same reason he sat idly by while the mob violently attacked the Capitol: he thinks he's above the law and is willing to do anything to gain and hold onto power for himself."
