    Roberts thought he could collect money from the glory-hole of fascism and corruption and never get any cum on his face. Now he finds out he’s just another ho down on his knees for Trump and Musk. Watch Trump have the Supreme Court arrested.

      He won’t have to. A little bluster and Roberts will bend the knee and kiss the ring.

    “He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties,” Trump wrote, referring to his own accomplishments of those benchmarks in the 2024 election. “HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING!”

    Oh for fucks sake, just shut the fuck up already. This is all you’re going to say each time you feel wronged. It’s not a mandate you stupid fuck and you lost the popular vote twice.

    “WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

    And the irony is lost on you.

      The Senate is trying to pass laws to make dissenting opinions seen as a mental illness. You really think they have enough votes for impeachment? lol

    “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement on Trump’s demand.

    Yeah, and for more than two centuries, our Presidents didn’t have the Supreme Court anointing them as all-but a king immune from prosecution, but here we are.

      And for two centuries, it was universally agreed that presidents were subject to the rule of law and were not elected absolute monarchs. And which cunt was Chief Justice when that changed?

      Can we just fucking get a ruling that ignoring court orders is not a “Presidential act”? This is a person, trying to escape accountability.

    You know, this is interesting.

    Trump has power, but it’s granted to him by authority of Congress. He has legal immunity for official acts as president, by authority of the supreme Court.

    The theory of the balance of power means that Congress can strip him of that authority, and the supreme Court can determine if an act is official or not or if he actually has immunity or not.

    The way this works is based on money and sanctions (imprisonment, revocation of clearances, etc).

    The court can deputize anyone. Ultimately, what that means, is that as long as the court wishes to retain its power, it needs to enforce decisions.

    If the Supreme Court, namely Roberts, actually has his own interests in mind, the court can act accordingly. Otherwise, it’s just theater.

    We will now find out if the court still wishes to maintain its power, or if it has none at all.
