I keep saying this, but the SCotUS ruled the president couldn't be charged with a crime while in office. Which means Biden could have personally gone door to door with the Secret Service in tow to murder anyone he wanted. Including the conservatives on the SC, followed by any congress members who didn't approve new court appointments.

kind of off-topic but "POTUS" and "SCOTUS" are such bullshit

pulling up "of" and "the" is weak and they should be called PUS and SCUS

With the power they have and lack of term limits, they should be called Supreme Court Regents of the United States

I have two favorite things about the ruling One, the GOP justices pretended Biden didn't even exist because they knew he wouldn't do the tiniest single thing with his new powers. And - of course - they were right. Two, the libs pretended that just before an election smol bean Biden was still powerless. You can't expect a democratic president to use extraordinary powers for good ends!

I know it was likely as science fiction but Biden could have done any number of things to encourage voting such as legalizing cannabis and cancelling student debt. The libs did what they always do - they said you gotta VOTE to stop Trump from becoming president because of course he was going to use such extraordinary powers for bad ends.
