Nothing is stopping him from Officially Acting on six Supreme Court Justice literally right now.

Except that it would be against the law, and it's hard to contrast yourself with Trump if you are also now committing crimes (even if those crimes are for the bettering of the US). Immunity doesn't blank your crimes from the public's minds, and forcefully removing even bad faith Justices from the Supreme Court is not a great look when he has been campaigning on knowing "right from wrong" and respecting the rule of law.

I don't get the whole "holier than thou" mentality of the Democratic party. It IS the law and we need to follow it accordingly.

I'm not asking for Biden to execute 6 Supreme Court justices, but maybe he can throw them in jail as an "official" act.

Stop sticking to a playbook that no longer exists. Show real fucking leadership and demonstrate why their ruling needs a second fucking look!

As an official act, declare war on these domestic enemies of our democratic republic. Reread the Declaration of Independence again, TODAY! Of all days! Freedom has to be fought for. It takes risk and sacrifice, just as the signers risked and sacrificed. King Joe should show them what they did and disappear them using the executive powers. He doesn't have to kill them, just capture them and their cohorts, remove them from the chess board as it is, and then as an official act, put their lies and misdeeds on display. Show why these enemies deserve their temporary fates. Then, once his reelection is secure, amend the Constitution as necessary and put better minded justices on SCOTUS who have to follow the same rules of ethics every other federal judge has to follow. Then do what Washington did by giving up the kingly authority, pledging allegiance again to the rule of law and We the People. Submit that if he committed any crime, then tell the people that he can be held accountable by a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt like any other defendant. Any decent jury would find enough reasonable doubts to never convict him and no prosecutor with any good reputation would try to prosecute him. The current SCOTUS has no faith in juries. If they did, they would let the Orange Conman face trial and prove his innocence.
