SCOTUS refused to entertain Trump’s election lie. Don’t be so certain they will be friendly to him this time. I hate the current SCOTUS, but they can surprise you sometimes.
It’s also not like he can retaliate in any way (other than trying to provoke his supporters into acting). They are set up for life, and can continue to influence the country for years to come with or without him. They may choose to let him drown.
Exactly. They are in no way beholden to him. And even their pet issue of abortion has been taken care of, so they’ve paid their dues. Now they can do whatever they feel like.
He’s been shown to indirectly threaten judges, juror, investigators, and witnesses. By turning the hate and violence of his supporters their way. He doesn’t have to personally do anything, there will always be a sympathizer willing to lay down their own life and well-being for his political cause, that’s how fascism works.
He very much can retaliate. And has a rich history of it at this point.
Another way that retaliations can be had is with a corrupt Supreme Court who are influenced by external parties by way of wealth or influence. In which case sources of wealth can be pulled or affected.
Good thing we don’t have any Supreme Court members on dubious grounds related to ill-gotten gains…
The only certainty is that Roberts and the liberal judges would definitely not be onboard with ignoring the 14th. Kavanagh probably, Thomas all but certainly.
We can definitely hope. But it’s really going to come down to how well the individuals are owned.
If this were just a panel of supreme Court justices voting along their biases, It’s anybody’s guess what they could do. But they’re not exactly impartial and lots of people have lots of dirt against them then gobs and gobs of political power.

Sure he can, why don’t you think he can?
