“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”
Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.
Yep. It was all one giant act of pretending not to have power to fix things. Because they don’t want to fix things.
Trump took off the mask and proved it. And now the Supreme Court confirmed and publicly stated that the President can do whatever he wants.
The power to make laws, like codifying Roe vs Wade, lies with congress.
I’m peeved about the SC ruling too, but they didn’t unilaterally hand over all governmental power to the executive.
