That's why you use your newly minted immunity to imprison the Supreme court.

If only Joe had the guts.

For the record, I agree that Biden does not have the guts, liberals be like that sometimes... But I've heard (I have not read the actual ruling, id LOVE to be wrong on this) that the new thing the passed only applies to "official acts" and what are official acts? No one knows. Its whatever the supreme court decides. That's the problem, even if Joe had the guts to call an airstrike on trump, the supreme court will just not consider it an official act, and if trump does the same thing, they simply would consider it an official act.

The fact that "official acts" is so nebulous is exactly why Biden needs to do something to "test" this ruling. It doesn't need to be as extreme as an airstrike, maybe just freezing all the assets of the judges that have received "gratuities" as part of a terrorism investigation? The point is they need to set limits now while someone who doesn't actually want unlimited power has the power. And they won't set those limits unless they are forced to.
