Presidential Race 2024

Is this like Kamala calling Biden a racist in the primary?

No, you DA!

I think it’s pretty well established the right is going to the rigged excuse any chance they can when they lose. It’s just who they are now.

Hillary is still saying the election was stolen from her. Didn't Al Gore do the same thing?

That's a $10 question G1.

If they lose, it was rigged. Millions of illegal voters.

If they win, the system is working perfectly thanks to the vigilant awareness of millions of conservatives watching the election with a hawk eye to prevent democrats cheating. But they need to pass stringent ID/signature/whatever laws to prevent as many dem votes from ever counting again.

So your saying Dems are too dumb to get an ID? OK, if you say so.

So that's what you take from his response? Seems Republicans have to stop anyone and everyone from voting .

Do you seriously think Clinton and Gore's claims are on the same level as Republicans now?? They both at least conceded their elections and didn't incite riots. And I don't recall the last time either of them brought it up.

Yeah, I definitely remember Hillary screaming twice a week for the last 8 years that the election was stolen.

Well, I called the Venezuela election accurately. But I'll admit that was a gimme. The opposition was up only 40 points Saturday when they needed to be up about 900 pts and have an army of their own to back that up. Guess we'll get another 500k-1.5m Venezuelan asylum seekers over the next 5 years.

Trump rage tweets incoming...

In a perfect world we can all agree these 3 recommendations are very reasonable and would keep a harmonious balance on SCOTUS.

However this isn't a perfect world and conservatives are gonna take this as an attack on their SCOTUS majority so it will be met with a large outcry about Biden trying to rig SCOTUS.

I'll do you guys a solid and share the article here.


The writer is president of the United States.

This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law. Not the president of the United States. Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. No one.

But the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision on July 1 to grant presidents broad immunity from prosecution for crimes they commit in office means there are virtually no limits on what a president can do. The only limits will be those that are self-imposed by the person occupying the Oval Office.

If a future president incites a violent mob to storm the Capitol and stop the peaceful transfer of power — like we saw on Jan. 6, 2021 — there may be no legal consequences.

And that’s only the beginning.

On top of dangerous and extreme decisions that overturn settled legal precedents — including Roe v. Wade — the court is mired in a crisis of ethics. Scandals involving several justices have caused the public to question the court’s fairness and independence, which are essential to faithfully carrying out its mission of equal justice under the law. For example, undisclosed gifts to justices from individuals with interests in cases before the court, as well as conflicts of interest connected with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, raise legitimate questions about the court’s impartiality.

I served as a U.S. senator for 36 years, including as chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. I have overseen more Supreme Court nominations as senator, vice president and president than anyone living today. I have great respect for our institutions and the separation of powers.

What is happening now is not normal, and it undermines the public’s confidence in the court’s decisions, including those impacting personal freedoms. We now stand in a breach.

That’s why — in the face of increasing threats to America’s democratic institutions — I am calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability to the court and our democracy.

First, I am calling for a constitutional amendment called the No One Is Above the Law Amendment. It would make clear that there is no immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office. I share our Founders’ belief that the president’s power is limited, not absolute. We are a nation of laws — not of kings or dictators.

Second, we have had term limits for presidents for nearly 75 years. We should have the same for Supreme Court justices. The United States is the only major constitutional democracy that gives lifetime seats to its high court. Term limits would help ensure that the court’s membership changes with some regularity. That would make timing for court nominations more predictable and less arbitrary. It would reduce the chance that any single presidency radically alters the makeup of the court for generations to come. I support a system in which the president would appoint a justice every two years to spend 18 years in active service on the Supreme Court.

Third, I’m calling for a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court. This is common sense. The court’s current voluntary ethics code is weak and self-enforced. Justices should be required to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest. Every other federal judge is bound by an enforceable code of conduct, and there is no reason for the Supreme Court to be exempt.

All three of these reforms are supported by a majority of Americans — as well as conservative and liberal constitutional scholars. And I want to thank the bipartisan Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States for its insightful analysis, which informed some of these proposals.

We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power. We can and must restore the public’s faith in the Supreme Court. We can and must strengthen the guardrails of democracy.

In America, no one is above the law. In America, the people rule.
