The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

The Constitution doesn't allow a third term, period.  If he tries, either by arguing that the Constitution does allow it or by just defying the Constitution outright, then it goes to the courts and ultimately SCOTUS will rule.  There, either SCOTUS abandons the Constitution and officially becomes a member of the fascist Trump party or they rule against him and according to the Constitution.  From there, if he defies the SCOTUS order then SCOTUS will order federal marshals to remove him from the White House.  If those dudes refuse to enforce the order then we're fucked.  Trump Co. could also meet those marshals at the White House with armed guards.  There might actually be a shootout.  Whoever is left standing when the smoke clears wins.

They're going to argue that FDR got 4 terms, and that Trump would still only have 2 consecutive terms.

And when push comes to shove, I think the Supreme Court folds and lets it happen.

There is still a decent chance that he drops dead before it comes to that.  He's 78, obese, and filled with rage.

And I'd be willing to bet that every SC Justice is hoping for that so they don't have to make the call.  But if they do, I don't think they'll stand up to him.  His power by that point will be unlike anything any other president has wielded.

The premise of this thread is important, but I think we are at a point where we just approach this as if Trump and his cult are the enemy of the country and we just have to accept that the folks who voted for him are beyond redemption.

Anyone who comes around -- that's gravy.  And if they come around, they need to be treated like the prodigal son. 

We need to laser focus on the enemies of the country who have power through money or political office.  We all bear the repercussions of allowing them to seize power.  I'm not getting much joy out of shaming the victims who were irresponsible with their votes.

I think the Supreme Court will hold the line.  Roberts has shown he's not just a GOP/Trump shill.

The immunity case was a dead giveaway and anyone who thinks the Supreme Court will get in the way of him running for a third term is a naive fool.

We'll see.

So does this mean we're bringing Obama off the bench?

Do you think Obama wants to deal with it?

After the election he made the comment somewhere along the lines of "Americans no longer want democracy". 

I could see him saying fuck off and enjoying his millions somewhere else.

Lighten up, Francis.  I'm sorry I don't subscribe to your "all or nothing" philosophy. You can discount everything that comes from the "other side" and hate blindly if you want. I still choose to analyze things rationally and as objectively as possible.  You should try it.

You are not nearly as rational or objective as you think you are if you can't see John Roberts for who he has always been.

In order to analyze something objectively, you need to have all available information. Based on the below, you're analyzing based on partial information, which is the equivalent to analyzing based upon misinformation. If you can't see that, you're being neither objective nor rational.

It was sarcasm. I read the opinion referenced and it didn't say what Wildcat says it did.

Roberts has ruled against Trump and the GOP in the past.  That's it.  That's the whole point some people here don't want to recognize for some reason. It doesn't take much "research" to know that about Roberts. It should be common knowledge.

He's a full-on right-wing nut just like Alito and Thomas and he does not care at all about the Americans who are hurt by this Court's rulings and he's not the institutionalist many believe him to be. I think he wants a slower roll than Alito and Thomas in enacting their extremist vision of the America they desire, but his vision is the same. He also doesn't give a flying fuck about democracy and he's happy with the Court's power and knows that as long as he doesn't do anything that will shake the trees of the other two branches of government, as long as he doesn't challenge Trump's supreme authority, his station is secure and his extremist vision of the remaking of America is guaranteed. It's just a question of how fast it happens.

Does not matter. He voted for the immunity ruling which will ultimately be a major cause of our undoing.

Okay, I disagree based on his rulings, his history and his statements.  But that's okay.

He ruled according to the law. What was he supposed to do? Rule in such a way for a desired outcome?  Long-term, that would be far worse.  He also signaled how to stop it when he didn't need to.

LOL, fanboi. Okay. As this is the Leopards thread I'll leave it alone, but when he's the swing vote or there is a 9-0 majority punking Trump's EOs I will bring it back up elsewhere.

ojo, i would just encourage you to consider that roberts is almost wholly responsible for the fact that elon musk can show up in wisconsin and just pay voters a million dollars to vote.

Quote

Impeachment is also not really a serious threat to any federal judge. Even if there are enough votes to pass articles of impeachment against one in the House of Representatives, there are only 53 Republicans in the Senate. An additional 14 Democrats’ votes would be needed to remove a targeted judge from office, and it is doubtful that many would be up for grabs. Trumpworld figures like Elon Musk can fulminate about the dangers of a “judicial coup” and the supposed “will of the people” all they want: The math just isn’t there.

It would go too far to say that Roberts is actively signaling to Trump that the high court will overturn or curb some of the lower court orders that are vexing him. The chief justice is not so blunt when he acts in this capacity. But it would also be a mistake to read Roberts’s statement as either a rebuke of Trump’s actions or a defense of the lower courts’ rulings. He is merely suggesting that a more “appropriate response” would be to run things by Roberts and his co-workers first. I doubt Trump would be disappointed with the result.

Anderson: Sec. 3 of the 14th left to Congress to enforce.  Right on the law.

Trump v. U.S.: Immune for official acts. Did not determine that acts of insurrection were official acts. Left it to lower courts. Right on the law.

Nobody who is even passingly familiar with John Roberts would think he does this.

It should be easy for you to cite the language from Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that left it to Congress to enforce, then.
