Sure, but then there won't be any conservative judges left to let him off the hook for it.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Doesn't matter. He'll be dead before they're done litigating it.
That's fine. Batman needs to break the Joker's neck, and then turn himself in with the body in tow.
I will remove judges until it is no longer legal to do so.
- Something Biden should really proclaim.
I will remove judges until it is no longer legal to do so. I will not be using traditional legal mechanisms to remove said judges.
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.

The hero's arc
Unironically yes, and he could easily justify it as 'official business' as dealing with traitors too.
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's more likely to slip on the waxed floor and shatter a hip.
I'm sure everything at SCOTUS is elderly proof.
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.
Such cringe. The dude is barely conscious.
Not nearly as cringe as the MAGA idiots that have posters of Donald "Diaper" Trump looking like Rambo.
He needs to at least impale senators with the American flag.

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.
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?"
I think technically he could order someone with the legal authority to use lethal force to do that. So probably the NSA or CIA.

He could have expanded the courts on day one of office.
All of this could have been avoided.
No he couldn't.
Can we agree that he can definitely use his mouth to say "I endorse doing something"?
Tbf people say this about a lot of things the Republicans do.
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
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.

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 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 still has to be an official act. I don't know how that works.
No one does. Roberts conveniently left out how he would determine what acts are "official" from his opinion.
Republican acts are official. Democrat acts are not official.
Article II Section 3 says the president shall take care to execute the laws faithfully. I do not see how a president could issue an official illegal order.
It doesn't matter. He cannot be found criminally liable now. The law does not apply to him. Fuck SCOTUS
