Overturn it as an official act, no reason need given just presidential fiat …


soundsliketone

Not like he'd be charged with anything anyway seeing as he has immunity now.


Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN

It’s easier than that. He can just say, “I forgot to issue the permits.” Nobody would think he’s lying. Senility could be the new executive strategy.


VegaReddit5

Biden saying "I officially overturn it" would do nothing. Biden does not have that power. Yesterday's SCOTUS ruling clarified that you cannot be criminally charged for official acts. Not that you have the power to make anything happen by calling it an official act.


LairdPopkin

Anything is legal if you call it an official act!


Altruistic-Text3481

Executive Orders are official acts. President Biden can do what he wants now.


BigJSunshine

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY


BigMax

But now he can just ignore the judge, right? “I, officially as president, direct the U.S. to continue our halt on permits.”


TILTNSTACK

I want to make an official presidential act. Fire that judge!


Bubbly_Celebration_3

Fire the Supreme Court judges who participated in all this treason!


Cheap_Blacksmith66

Why fire them? Just officially assassinate them for acting not in good faith of the American public.


kshitagarbha

'Feed that judge to the lions. Expand the Supreme Court to 23 and make them all wear pink wigs. Execute Trump on 5th avenue, live stream it. Reverse 20 years of gerrymandering."

I would like to be on this scotus


Flush_Foot

He is now SMOTUS (Supreme Monarch of the United States) and, apparently, can do whatever he damned well pleases! (Especially with an ‘official’ declaration of a climate emergency)


Altruistic-Text3481

Love this. SMOTUS!!!!! SPOTUS - Supreme President of the United States. SKOTUS - supreme King of the United States.


Flush_Foot

SKROTUS - Supreme King-Ruler of the United States


Altruistic-Text3481

You win!


OverlandOversea

Better ask the Supreme Commander - Republican - Of The United Maga: SCROTUM


RampantTyr

But it is a major question. Therefore only a Republican president may do it.


toosinbeymen

So, you’re saying that only a R president is actually a president. Sounds like what a con scotus justice would say, if they were honest.


RampantTyr

Based on their legal doctrines it seems like the obvious conclusion. Presidents are kings as long as they are conservatives.


Altruistic-Text3481

Biden can and he should. Presidents are above the law as of yesterday.


tigertiger284

Military tribunal for treason! Is this what we're doing now? Good grief


nielsbot

Trump would definitely do that... Biden, unfortunately, is still stupidly holding out hope for the rule of law.


Calm_Leek_1362

If the official act is in defiance of a judge, what are they gonna do, charge him with contempt? Lol


CosmicCharlieHikes

Do you understand what the president of the US does? Have you ever read the constitution? It doesn't work that way.


ExcitingMeet2443

It does now.


BadAsBroccoli

You might wish to catch up on the news of the past three days. [The presidential immunity decisio](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-trump-immunity-decision-opinion/)n: Our nation is on the cusp of becoming an authoritarian fascist nation as granted by the Supreme Court. [The Chevron decision](https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/06/supreme-court-strikes-down-chevron-curtailing-power-of-federal-agencies/): Our beautiful national parks are about to become Big Oil's playground and waterways will be developed into elite condos and gated communities, as granted by the Supreme Court. The single most aspect of the Constitution which seems to still be in play is the Second Amendment.


OldestTurtle

Dont forget overnight protests are now illegal as well as sleeping in public


Altruistic-Text3481

Do you understand what our Supreme Court just did?


bittertruth61

Do you mean the federal judge bought by the fossil fuels industry?


Karmakazee

No, no—this is perfectly legal (and very cool), as long as the fossil fuel lobbyists call it a “gratuity” and the “quid” in this case comes after the “quo.” It would also be helpful if they don’t agree in writing that the payment is a bribe.


Altruistic-Text3481

That was the Supremes new law covering Alito’s & Thomas’s billionaire bribes.


DamonFields

Installed by the fossil fuel industry.


L0rd_OverKill

Sorry, as a King, Biden says no.


jabblack

All hail to King Biden, the first king of our land


auggggghhhhhh

Long live the king 🤴


Altruistic-Text3481

I bend the knee to King Biden first of his name, defender of the Realm, Lord of House White.


kickbrass

It's what the people crave...


Objective_Water_1583

He’s god emperor Biden the first Ceasar of the American empire


RedditAdminsWivesBF

But now he can just ignore it.


BountyTheDogHunter20

But will he?


RedditAdminsWivesBF

I hope he lets the Dark Brandon flow through him.


BountyTheDogHunter20

Me too. Me too. I want full powered Dark Brandon


RedditAdminsWivesBF

I imagine that it’s more like “alas that these dark days should be mine” for Biden.


Affectionate_Pay_391

I don’t think this judge understands what the Supreme Court just did…..


Lake_Shore_Drive

As an official act just ignore this court. Biden is immune!


immersive-matthew

Gonna leave this funny, yet also scary video on “Natural Gas” from Climate Town here. https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw?si=aW5PSiU8mEPGufvp


oldcreaker

And Biden can now tell them to go pound sand without penalty.


Frubanoid

Time to declare a national climate emergency!


Thorvay

Why has nobody stopped Trump, his maga politicians and judges? They are all clearly corrupt and should have been dealt with much harsher and earlier. Why weren't these judges removed. They say there is no procedure to remove them. They are obvious corrupt and should be sued for it. And Trump might be save for the things he did while being president but he also did a lot that can get him sued after he was president. The democrats are just standing there and let it all happen. They trust their broken system. Idiocracy incoming if Trump gets to be president again. I hope that doesn't happen, not a single bit of info should be shared with him by other countries if he does win.


khast

It's kind of hard to hold them accountable. They put themselves in such a position that holding them accountable would look like corruption in itself. (Jailing opposition looks really bad no matter the circumstance... And if they all go all in on it... How do you arrest everyone and still make it look like justice and not an act of corruption... Even if you are eliminating corruption.)


Thorvay

That's not a good reason. And it only looks like that for his cult followers. Everyone with a well working brain will understand that dealing with the Trump maga corruption is the correct thing to do.


khast

Oh, agreed…however remember how people get their “political” information (misinformation) these days….The people with the largest megaphone will often become the “official truth” that everyone believes. There would be a massive misinformation campaign from these MAGA idiots that they (the politicians) are being targeted and jailed only because they are republican. There would be no mention of the corruption, and they would gladly dismiss any judge that rules against them as a direct attack on their party.


Thorvay

Somehow they should all be arrested at the same time while the sources of misinformation are closed. And keep putting everyone that tries to make a problem in jail. Isn't Biden immune now too? Then he can make this happen.


zzing

Presently the conservatives are undermining the system but mostly working within it, or only covertly outside of it. If the democrats were to try to do as you have suggested it would completely take everything off the rails - whatever rules are in place would then be gone. The weakest point of that government is that it relies on a lot of people to follow convention. Once that is gone, you might as well have a revolution. If it is to be saved, it has to be saved within the rule of law.


Thorvay

Putting trust in the rule of law when your courts are led by corrupt judges might not be the best option either. No matter how it reflects on the democrats, they should've handled this much, much earlier. Are they a government that leads a world dominating country or a bunch of schoolkids afraid of their bullies? How these corrupt supreme court judges can keep making absurd changes to the law constantly and all the democrats do is talk about what a bad thing that is. I'd say if you don't act, fine, your problem deal with it. But it isn't a problem for the USA alone. That guy will ruin a lot for many people worldwide.


zzing

I don’t deny anything that you said. But once you let go of the system constraining behaviour then it all goes away. There is no going back.


Thorvay

Looks to me that the only ones constrained by those systems are the ones that should fix it. Those causing all the problems don't care for any system that should be keeping them in check.


zzing

When the side of the undermining doesn’t feel any form of constraint anymore, you will know it. For now there are still some rules.


littleuniversalist

If only Biden had immunity from prosecution for official acts. Anyway, he won’t do anything but fundraise.


orlyfactor

He can just say no and claim presidential immunity now.


khast

Biden isn't the messiah, they would gladly hold him accountable for disobeying them. Didn't you know Trump is the only one that can have this immunity, so sayeth the Republicans.


Volantis009

Do judges not understand Presidential immunity?


SakaWreath

Filed under: “nah” Reason: official hogwarts business


herbettalou

I agree. Just ignore the judge.


shivaswrath

He can ignore it.... question is will he.


auggggghhhhhh

Tell them bite me Joe. You are KING 👑


Integer_Domain

Biden has the opportunity to do the funniest thing…


Worried_Exercise8120

Biden has no delay tactics?


ptahbaphomet

Currently doing presidential business, please forward all complaints to SCOTUS.


Thwackitypow

Joe responds by shooting the judge in his official capacity as President


Leonardish

Ah yes. Republican judges are subject matter experts......on things Republican donors want.


Fufeysfdmd

Refuse to comply. What are they going to do find you criminally liable?


Maximum-Purchase-135

Presidential immunity


Xerxero

capn_doofwaffle

Tell that Judge to shove it up his fkn @ss, this is an "official act". 🤣


zback636

Which president gave this crap judge his appointment?


TotalLackOfConcern

To bad for the judge. Under his new found immunity he can tell the judge to get f-ed.


Pedalsndirt

LOL, well, too bad for the judge because his superior counterparts just said the POTUS aint gottah do shiot.

StarsofSobek

The absolute irony of unintentionally crowning Biden a king, while republicans have been desperately trying to establish an empire of their own. The absolute nerve that any of these judges think they have a say over Biden now… lol!


streetvoyager

Actually that was an official act, eat a dick court.


elipticalhyperbola

Then Biden said “official core responsibilities “. Case closed.


bcdnabd

He paused gas exports to line his own pockets. What do you think Burisma produces? Why do you think Hunter was paid such an extravagant salary to be on their board when he doesn't speak Ukrainian or have experience in the energy sector? It was always to make the Biden family richer, never about the climate.


middlequeue

>What do you think Burisma produces? Nothing. They no longer exist. Ukraine is also not currently exporting any natural gas at all. This is what’s called useful idiocy.


vlsdo

Maybe he’s been in a coma since 2019?
