Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The foaming at the mouth on this topic in the comments is insane.
You want the Supreme Court to judge this. You can't get any more important than codifying and defining how much power the Office of the President actually has. And having a lower court do that won't carry the weight that that decision needs to have.
Just sit tight people. When the Supreme Court wants to they can move quickly, and something tells me they're going to move quickly on this one.
They scheduled the next stuff to happen toward the end of April. That's not fast. It nearly guarantees the case won't happen before the election. It won't happen at all after the election unless Biden wins. The Supreme Court fucked us here, and they absolutely know that.
And they'll find in the Colorado case that states can't remove insurrectionists until specifically convicted in a criminal trial, so that will also be tucked behind their delay. I even think they'll find that no, presidents are not perpetually above the law, but then stay any case that would kick either kick Trump off the ballot or send him to prison because now it's too close to the election and/or it's being appealed.
There's no real reason to take this case, particularly after refusing earlier, but they don't have to be blatant to get exactly the result they want.
For them, that is.
No, it doesn't. There's a lot of time between April and November, and the court has a history of accelerating decisions when needed.
If they wanted to fuck us they would just decide not to take the case, or take it on their normal schedule instead of the accelerated one in April.
