News Trump: Mar-a-Lago just raided by FBI

Absolutely agree. I would also support selectively stripping the courts of jurisdiction on cases if they are unable to control themselves.

I'd call mine "The Supreme Court Efficiency Act". There is a clear backlog of cases in federal courts, so let's help them out by adding a lot more judges and justices.

I think I would also like to clarify, or codify really, that it is fucking illegal to accept bribes as a member of the Supreme Court and that the DOJ may prosecute you.

Never before have I seen such an innocent man fight so hard to hide evidence that would exonerate him. That drove me nuts during his last term, and I'm not looking forward to going through it again.

We'd never seen anything like his 1st term, I never thought shit like that was even possible. I think these next 4 years are going to make 2016-2020 seem like it was nothing. Many people will pay for trying to bring justice against a guilty man.

I do not agree with term limits as that further consolidates power in the executive.

That being said I agree with the rest of them except for the independent judge nomination process but that's because I don't think there's a way to make it actually independent and, more crucially, would remove the executive's check on the judiciary and the judiciary is already utterly out of control.

I agree with @K1052 - we should immediately pack the Supreme Court at the next opportunity. (assuming we still have a democracy in 2028) It's not just about improving the court, it's also about sending a message to the judiciary to learn their place.

I meant teem limits on judges, not congress. I don't agree with them limits on Congress.

I just thought of the independent nomination process, I do think it'd be really hard to pull off effectively.

I agree at this point the court must be packed and something to limit supreme court terms must be implemented to fix the current fuckery.

I saw that, he actually has an excellent point. That’s not a spurious delay at all.

I’m pretty sure you were saying he was going to raise endless bullshit arguments to drag things out until Republicans regained power or whatever but the speech and debate clause is extremely powerful and enabled things like the pentagon papers to be revealed. It’s not something to ignore.

Appears it was safe to ignore

Appears it was safe to ignore

Only because people in the US seem to care more about the price of eggs rather than potential threats to democracy.

Trump had better realize that if he continues on his current path, the 2026 elections might well go the other way. Although I have to say, I don't have a great deal of confidence in the US electorate.

Without digging up my old post it seems like I was saying the speech and debate clause should not be ignored.

And here I'm thinking that I'm the cynical one.

For the fact that Trump got elected twice, I have absolutely no faith at all in the US electorate. The people that voted for him were quoting a raft of excuses and disingenuously noble sounding reasons to vote for him while sidestepping the facts of the matter that Trump is, among his other despicable dysfunctional character traits a convicted felon, sex offender, a thief that stole top secret documents form the gov't, incited an insurrection and lies with the ease of a practiced professional. It used to be that any one of the aforementioned detrimental flaws of Trump would kill any chances of anyone else acquiring the highest office of the land. Yet there he stands, the quintessential symbol of the abject idiocy of the voting public.

That his popularity rating is at present above 50% even after the onset of the rampage he and (F)elon are wrecking their way through the system that runs the gov't. tells me there's a whole lot of people that used their vote to get revenge, to get back at the "Deep State" that most of them can't even define, that they'd rather believe lies and disinformation than the truth, that inflation was a top concern of theirs when now it isn't, etc. all of which had nothing to do with who was more factually and actually qualified to be our POTUS.

edit - forgive the rant, it's just that common sense and logic had been abandoned when it came to voting for our elected officials and that's what I rely on to make my life's decisions.
