I'll believe it when I see it.

The worst part of this is that even if he is convicted and removed from the judiciary, Trump gets to pick his replacement, so it will not only not fix anything but will very likely make it worse.

I've got to say it. This is a case the Biden DOJ could have brought too. And Obama. The Democrats have got to stop playing games. They should have immediately changed it up when Obama was denied justice picks.

I’m looking forward to the Supreme Court ruling that a sitting Supreme Court member has “operational immunity” and effectively ruling that anyone on the Supreme Court can break the law as much as they want until their fucking life sentence term is up

To be clear (because it isn't totally obvious from the title and text submitted on Lemmy), this article is a call to action, not reporting on a filing that's actually happened or rumored to be in progress or anything like that:

So why Monday? Because there is nothing special about Monday. It is the next day the courthouse opens, the next day a prosecutor could walk this to a grand jury, the same as they could have on any working day for the last several years. For anyone else, this case would already be filed.

[...]

Three officials can move on this, and they can each do something different, so we ask each one for what they actually have the power to do. [...] Here is where to reach them, by phone or by email.

He could be charged Monday. Or Tuesday. Or he could've been charged last Monday. There's three people in Virginia who have the power to make that happen, you should go call and email them.

Nothing will come of it but it at least sounds funny.

Throw all the books at him

Absolutely nothing will happen.

Best case scenario, the stress pushes a clot into his brain.

And this is why we are all poor, this is why billionaires keep stealing from us, because of greedy no backbone failures like him.

how is this guy still employed? honest question - dude has litany of corruption accusations going back decades and he's still holding a position? How does that work?

I have been hearing about this guys corruption and scandals since the early 90s.

Hes living proof of why lifetime Supreme Court appointments should not exist

Monday is a federal holiday.

Calling it now, nothing will come of this.

Could be? Or will be?

Isn't Monday a Federal Holiday? The courts will be closed.

Yeah, I'm jaded and cynical. Can you blame me?

DO IT.

That would be lovely. Nothing will come of it, of course, and he'll just scream “racism!!” but it would still be nice.

Wait—Monday's a holiday. Nothing’s going to happen on Monday.

That asshole really needs to fall for all the corruption he has been part of.
But it's doubtful it will ever happen.
Americans simply don't do enough against corruption, no matter how bad and no matter how obvious.

Jesus Christ.

There's a difference between possible and probable. This headline is extremely misleading. It might as well say Clarence Thomas could have monkeys fly out of his butt on Monday.

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it probable? No.

I understand this is "a call to action" but the headline is disingenuous.

Hey y'all, RTFA. It is not saying what you think it is saying. The last several paragraphs twist things on thier head.

Get him

He will not be

lol we all know nothing is going to fucking happen

Please send this slimeball to jail

Aaannnnddd nothing will come of it because he is a boot licker for this administration.

BS.

• Monday is a holiday
• everything said here has been true for years. Where are the charges?

I understand the desire for justice, I agree this case is egregious, and the proof does seem out in the open, but wishing doesn’t make it so

Memorial Day? Definitely not but maybe Tuesday
