Biden's first official act: No one convicted of a felony may run for office.
That act won't really hold up. That's not really an action. It's taking away something ephemeral. Rights are not in the physical world.
Now, jailing Donald for crimes. That's doing something physical. And the Supreme Court could rule against him, and Biden could say, "Make me." And Don would continue to be jailed illegally. And the Supreme Court would have no say over the impotence of their own creation. And we'd have an impeachment hearing that won't go anywhere.
But Biden won't do that.
Trump would.
We can dream, can't we?
People keep saying this but the ruling was he can commit crimes not create laws. Besides, Supreme Court rulings only work for Republicans.
So he can't bar felons from running for office, but he could hire a hit squad and suffer no legal consequences?
As long as the kingmakers sanction it so.
