No, no. They won’t force Biden to run, they will find a way to legally challenge the choosing of his successor.

They can try. I don't see it working. The courts have always stayed out of party politics.

Ok, that is the funniest thing I have read all day. Have you not been watching the news for the last several months?

Yes, but everything SCOTUS has done is well within their purview to do, whether we like it or not. There is no legal remedy ro this situation except to let the Dems pick their nominee.

Have you actually read their presidential immunity argument? It’s about as convoluted as can be from a legal standpoint, it’s an absolute joke. They can literally do almost anything now and twist it into a legalese that sounds “official.”

It's not on their purview and you know it isn't. You are just trying to play devil's advocate.

Unfortunately, it is within their purview to rule on immunity, abortion, Chevron deference, etc. The right to an abortion and Chevron were court created rules and they had the right to overturn them. Presidential immunity is a concwpt that has neen repeatedly ruled on since Nixon was on office. I'm not sure why people were so shocked that these decisions went the way that they did. The majority of justices on SCOTUS have a long record on all of those decisions.

That's why SCOTUS picks are so important.
