Botched isn't the right word when they meant to do it.

"Botched" implies that this was done by mistake. This wasn't done by mistake.

I don't think anyone expects anything good to come from the current lineup in the SC.

If they rule he does I promise to riot every day. There won't even be a point in maintaining the status quo as such a ruling would invalidate democracy

ChonkyOwlbear ,

If they rule Trump does then that means Biden does too. It would basically be giving Biden a license to ship them all to Guantanamo. Might be the only thing that holds back such a decision.

radiant_bloom ,

Ship them to Guantanamo ? You’re too nice. If presidents have immunity, Biden could strangle him to death with his own bare hands on live television if he wanted to 💀

I wouldn't even illegally stream that. I'd pay full fucking price.

youngGoku ,

Well Senate could convict him after being impeached.

RamblingPanda ,

He could strangle them as well

GreyEyedGhost ,

The stranglings will continue until democracy improves!

hydrospanner ,

He could just ignore all that shit, claim immunity, and refuse to leave office.

Biden wouldn't do shit and they know it.

grue ,

If they rule Trump does then that means Biden does too.

No it doesn't. I guarantee they will do all the Olympic-level mental gymnastics necessary to craft the bullshit opinion in such a way that it applies to Trump but not Biden.

If they do, Biden needs to immediately pack the court and remove lifetime appointments.

He should be doing it already IMO

Furbag ,

If Trump gets immunity, I'm becoming a terrorist.

They haven't botched anything as far as they're concerned. The court agreed to hear the case so they could delay, that was clear when they didn't act on the request to expedite.

The fact that they did not immediately respond with "No, the president doesn't have immunity from criminal prosecution. They are not royalty." tells us what the eventual outcome will be.

dhork ,

Not necessarily. They could decide they must come to that conclusion, but only after delaying long enough so the answer doesn't matter.
