LOL grandstanding! So, what is the opposite of grandstanding? Standing? Please explain how Biden is standing up to the beyond-the-pale corrupted SCOTUS. Biden'd position on the legal structure can be assayed by his appointment of Garland. Biden could now, after the serendipitous presidential empowerment by the SCOTUS, wreak havoc on them. But he won't. He won't stand.

This is my frustration. Garland is useless. He has no spine, no sense of urgency, nothing other than mealy-mouthed self-backside protection. Sure, he appointed Jack Smith - two years too late and very little support. Also at fault is Biden, who has refused to fire Garland.

From an article in Salon this morning: "Justice Department probe of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas could uncover whether the justice knowingly and willfully filed false financial disclosure statements or failed to pay taxes on luxury gifts — despite Attorney General Merrick Garland's likely lack of political will to launch an investigation months before the November election, legal experts told Salon.""

We have no functioning justiciar system in this country - just a mechanism for putting poor people, especially poor black men, in for-profit, enslaving prisons - industries based in the confederate south.

Well said, SuZieCoyote! I agree and feel your anger.

Biden has to either be complicit or brain dead to not notice! I would bet on complicit.

I believe SCOtUS slipped a caveat into that decision that it takes affect after the next president takes office.
