The Trump administration will undoubtedly appeal, possibly all the way to the Supreme Court. But for now, millions of people across the country will not have to make hard choices about how to feed themselves and their families. Several states that had already declared emergencies to tackle the impending crisis will have at least some temporary relief.
We already had the “official acts” SCOTUS ruling instead.
The ruling which states that SCOTUS itself is the final arbiter of what constitutes an “official act.” So if (lol) there’s ever a non-GOP president again, SCOTUS has the ability to take away Presidential Immunity whenever asked to rule on a relevant case. A neat trick that everyone seemed to forget during the Biden admin.
Bluntly, if I somehow became president, I would ignore the SCROTUS and remove most of its members. Then force reforms and expansions, then put the question to them: “Should select presidents have immunity for official acts?” If the new court doesn’t fix the issue, then replace SCROTUS again, until they see bloody sense and become a proper SCOTUS. It is dumb and brutish, but the times might call for being a jackass. 😒
The Constitution is a good idea, but we clearly have to update the systems it laid out - they assumed the branches would compete, and can’t really account for modern realities like the size of the US and technology. Unfortunately, we will need lots of power to force corrections onto an elite establishment that relies on bad design.
IMO, the ‘mid’ outcome of revolution is a strongman transitioning us from dictatorship back to full democracy. Hopefully we get the ‘good’ timeline, where democracy improves itself for the better without a bully’s mindset. The ‘bad’ outcome is everything Thiel and friends want.
