Silver Lining In SCOTUS's Partial Immunity Ruling?
Non-Bulwark SourceAll of these posts about how it's Biden's responsibility alone to make sure Trump loses, either by abuse of his new power or dropping out all together or whatever new idea of the day exists, are essentially looking to one man to be our savior. This misses the point that Biden has been making. He's not our perfect savior. He's just the guy carrying the presidential mantle right now and the character of that person matters. It has to be American voters who save ourselves by rejecting Trump. It was always supposed to be us with the power. I think we would all be better served to stop externalizing our responsibility for action onto only Biden and then being upset that he isn't the superhero of your dreams.
Agreed! We need to win in November. Period.
Any specific ideas there?
He won’t
but he doesn't follow it up with any ideas.
And Biden in his speech basically rebuked the power.
A doddering and weak individual is hardly likely to make any moves. His administration did not get on the protect democracy bandwagon until the J6 committee made the topic poll well

In all seriousness, if Biden and/or his administration cares at all about our democracy, he will do everything in his [now expanded] power to figure out how to use the SCOTUS partial immunity ruling to make sure an anti-democratic man-child who thinks tantrums and crying fits are respectable presidential duties does not become President.
