And the Supreme Court will kiss the feet of the people dragging them away.
Why else would they give him explicit advance immunity for assassinating his political rivals?

Like every other dumb fuck conservative, they just wanted those pesky 3 libs to get murdered. They will never figure out that they're up next until it happens. It's endemic to the conservative worldview.

Unlikely. They don't want their power usurped.

I appreciate you cosplaying as a coauthor of the Federalist Papers, but I think the "institutional jealousy" theory of the balance of power has been comprehensively shredded by the behavior of Congress since about November 2000.

That's not an actual argument though and if anyone is playing expert it's you so maybe cut back that derision by like 50%.

I was trying to shout out that your username is Madison, it came out a lot bitchier than I wanted it to, sorry.
But I do think it's a valid argument. The assumption from the Federalist Papers that the different branches would not cede power to one another because of their desire to hold it themselves has proven to be untrue. Factional loyalty to GWB, then to Trump, has driven Congress to ever-greater depths of obesiance.
There's no argument, imo, that SCOTUS is not at least as loyal to an external faction (ironically, to people calling themselves Federalists) as Congress, and actually even more corrupted by money.
Therefore, I think a morals/behavioral based argument that SCOTUS will want to preserve their power in the face of a tyrant from their faction isn't convincing.

I gotcha, I probably could have handled it a bit better myself and yes it is a James Madison reference.
I think we have actual evidence that they do not intend to cede their power by not bright lining presidential immunity or being less vague. They may be horrific people but they are in fact quite the schemer and finagler. Chances are if the admin pushes it they'll just deputize willing participants which leaves us with either a civil war or rule of law.

Certainly a better attitude then why bother.

Just a different kind of vacation perk package. I hope Thomas is arrested first!
