make that possible and Republicans will take it and go after Obama…
You can’t piecemeal conservatives and the right-wing… the only solution is to make them impotent. But that goes against every principle of liberal representative democracy.
@fedwards9965 Sorry but since when is Obama a felon? He didn't violate any law that I know of. Repubs have been trying to impeach Biden etc etc so it's not like they're waiting for the Dems to do anything legislatively speaking to go after people.
@VeroniqueB99 we weren’t talking about impeachment though, but invalidating Trump’s presidency… I’m pretty sure Obama being a felon won’t matter in the least to Republicans if a mechanism opens that could annul Obama’s presidency.
@fedwards9965 that was my point. They're gonna do what they're gonna do. That shouldn't prevent us from invalidating what was illegitimate for a number of reasons...
@fedwards9965 @505fred 45 is the only one actually sitting in a criminal trial right now. He's the only one who killed 1M+ of his own fellow citizens by sheer arrogance. The others had the decency to kill other countries'...
As Vee said "it should be the law" but there is no mechanism in our Constitution or our Law that makes that possible. A Supreme Court Justice is appointed by the President and approved by the Senate for life, with no exceptions for removal, except by Congress for cause, by impeachment!
@dschmidthawk Just imagine. They can't get Trump for the attack on the Capitol where 5 people died, and you ask about cause being a Supreme Court Justice telling a well thought out little fib that they can dance around for years? Our Supreme Court ....
@dschmidthawk Yes, the US used to be a stabilizing factor, but since Trump, it's all nuts!
Have you considered that if Trump is reelected, Russia, China, North Korea and the US will be one gigantic economic and military conglomerate that no one would dare challenge. Total world dominance!
Former senior DOJ official Mary McCord writes about "the necessity for government officials to be able to communicate freely with social media companies about the abuses of their services by malign actors," in advance of Supreme Court oral arguments …
@Npars01 Well, if they give Stinky absolute immunity, Joe Biden should arrest the Scotus, for conspiring for the Federalist Society. Then indict Gini Thomas for conspiracy.

@505fred @VeroniqueB99
pretty much every US President could be considered a war criminal
I doubt US citizens, even haters, would consider that reason for "invalidation"
It's probably a requirement for the job.

Exactly.
And the same should go if the president solicited a foreign country to interfere in the election on his behalf and help him win.
