Fortunately, contrary to what Alito, Thomas & Co think, neither the court nor the presidency is Americas highest power. The voters are. For at least one more election cycle. (Yesterdays decision puts the future in jeopardy.) We must over-rule them in November. We must be the ones who save democracy.
Jack Smith really only has 2 options at this point:
1. Stand pat, hope the Supreme Court moves as fast as possible, rules against Trump, and leaves enough time for a trial
2. Indict all of Trump's co-conspirators, including members of Congress/fake electors/etc and put out a massive speaking indictment so the public has the truth before the election

Mitch McConnell stole Merrick Garlands Supreme Court seat and then passed the accountability buck in Trumps Jan 6th impeachment trial to the courts, where now Attorney General Merrick Garland has dragged his feet for so long that the Supreme Court he should have been sitting on, may have just taken enough time off the clock that Trump will never be held accountable for the crimes he committed on Jan 6th.
Perfect day for him to step down.
This shit is his opus of evil.

(4,474 posts)The first because the SCOTUS has signaled they are totally in Trump's camp, and they will drag this out until Trump can demand the trial be postponed so as to not "interfere with the election". He will then appeal any court date, giving the SCOTUS the opportunity to weigh in with more delays.
The second because our side just never seems to have this kind of courage.
