Judge Chutkan should get that hearing started ASAP, so at least the public will get to see Jack Smith’s evidence before the election. Having an actual trial now before November is now dead, and thanks to SCOTUS, much of Smith’s evidence will not be allowed anyway. A Supreme Court in the tank for a criminal. Who would have ever imagined it?
@b4cks4w Of coursed, whatever act Chutkan’s declares personal rather than official will be appealed by Trump and SCOTUS will have to rule on it. Gee, I wonder if they’ll agree with her. Not.
@johnldeboer Hypothetically, It would be an official act if Biden were to order a military strike on the biggest threat to America, just as was done with Bin Laden and Zawahiri. Also if he ordered elimination of top lieutenants of that leader, e.g. Alito and Thomas. SCOTUS says that would be fine.
In the second Biden term the court must be fixed and many of their radical decisions reversed.
@johnldeboer: I imagined it. I called it, as did others, during his administration.
@johnldeboer: I also figured it was coming down the pike back in the ‘80s. The preferred method of legislation had already become legislating from the bench.
@thedisasterautist Yeah, Republicans always complained about liberal justices legislating from the bench. They don’t have a problem with their people doing it though - including actually taking rights away!
@thedisasterautist Well, I meant pre-Trump.
@johnldeboer Agree. Need to the ball rolling on defining in/official acts. Since #scotus punted it and Chutkan has been more competent, let's say, than Cannon
