That's what you get for not calling out corruption in SCOTUS.
Like, remember when Mitch McConnell argued that they *didn't* have to convict Trump in the Senate because he remains legally accountable for all he did as President? Nixon is waiting for an apology.

While he doesn't make the rules he did alter the precedent for when and how a Supreme Court judge was picked. He denied Obama the ability to fill a vacancy saying it was too close to the elections, and then when it was even closer for Biden to be in office he pushed through another one for Trmp to decide.

That's not true. They told the prosecutors in that case that they wrongly charged the man with bribery when the crime he really committed was a gratuity. While similar in effect, these are two different legal crimes that cannot be interchangeably used. Bribery is paying someone up front for a political favor, while gratuity is doing someone a political favor for future profit. If the Court hadn't overturned that case, it would have severely messed up case law for future cases. The prosecutors are free to go back and bring the correct charges this time.
So Nixon was actually innocent according to the Supreme Court and did not have to resign. 😂

It is an outdated piece of paper that should be an exhibit in a museum, not a political bible that is revered as if it were sent by some higher power.

Now I want to know what is an official proceeding. The court is very vague and the way that it framed its decision, anything the president does would be considered as an official proceeding. If the President uses his authority as the commander in chief to order the CIA to assassinate a Congressman or a Congresswoman, would that be an official proceeding? We can run out the idea of staying in power after Jan 20 because the Constitution is clear that anything an incombent president does after his term is not considered as an official proceeding anymore. But the fact that a president can use his executive authority to do whatever he likes without caring about criminal law is scary.

That in his official duty as president is to act on the better of the country. He is now assigning 4 more justices to save this country from kingship. Since trump can tell pence to stop the electorial count and scotus says that trump was acting in official duty to ask that of pence. Then Biden should be able to claim his executive order is official duty in adding to the court to save the country and the constitution that he took an oath to uphold???? I pray that Biden gets re-elected and that dems take complete majority over both house and senate. Then Biden can get 4 more justices on the court and set term limits and then those justices can over rule this ruling. Law should be enacted that we the people vote in the justices and that they can only run for two terms. We are living under dictatorship with scotus being able to tell its people what can and can not be done and nothing can be done about it, as long as corrupt majority who can impeach them refuse to. Why have a president when there is really no power the president has to end this?!!
