Biden has strong moral grounding that would prevent him from doing away with anyone. However, were he to do such a thing, SCOTUS would turn on a dime! Precedent, as we've seen, means nothing to the Trump Six, unless it's to be used for their own ends.

Correct on both accounts Judith.

Moral grounding gives way to force and dictatorship.

The Weimar Republic was morally grounded too.

Yes, force. It's too bad that the institution created to embody the greatest moral grounding is in a silk-lined gutter. Even a general strike, if such could be mounted, would be unlikely to move them -or the Putin wing of congress - to take appropriate actions.

"Precedent" so out the window! With these people who raised their right hands, and swore on the Bible, etc. Ari Melber's show today detailed actual precedent for timely SCOTUS action.
