My loathe for conspiracy theorists-flat earthers especially-kind of makes me want to watch this.
That’s quite literally what they are hoping. This is rage-bait sensationalistic reality TV. Don’t fucking give it the time of day and stop sharing for fake internet points… let it die as it should.
Edit: Also downvoted the article because I’m using the same logic… it’s not personal - I just am so tired of seeing posts that are effectively free advertisement for things I despise and don’t want to encourage it.
Did you read the fucking dissent? That’s a sitting SC Justice saying that quote, not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller:
If one of the dissenting justices thinks it likely, we better pay attention. The whole “They were very clear that non-official acts are not covered.” is a pillar built on sinking sand - what defines non-official becomes subjective real fast. Biden could assassinate every conservative justice on SCOTUS and get his own in there to make it all legal. Threats of the same to any in congress who won’t play ball.
And if someone can’t imagine Biden doing it (I can’t), I’m thinking that there are quite a few citizens who believe Trump abso-fucking-lutely would pull that shit. With a majority on SCOTUS already he could just start going after political rivals and keep SCOTUS themselves in check with threats of the same. If SCOTUS has done anything they’ve painted themselves in a corner and only Congress can unfuck us with impeachment (as unlikely as that seems!)
