The idea of Biden expanding the court, well, that would end up being something that had to go through Congress, I don't think he could do that. Instead, what the Supreme Court has now said is, what he could do is have the 6 justices on the court that voted for this, arrested or killed. Then with them gone, he could appoint 6 more. Honestly, they just made that an easier path than expanding the court. 

We hit the wall of total insanity today. Our Supreme Court ruled that they have, our entire justice system has, no authority, no check on a president. That if you make an attempt to prosecute a president, sitting or former, the bar to declare anything this president did was not an official act is now so high, you can't get over it. 

Somebody reading this might say I am hysterical and exaggerating but no, I am not. If people don't believe me, read the dissenting opinions of the justices that opposed this ruling. They outright say it, our president is now a king. They say it. 

I don't think anybody thought the court would do it, that if they granted some sort of immunity it would be limited. What they did was grant immunity and then specified that while someone is president, basically everything they do is an official act and can't be prosecuted. 

So, literally, the easiest path for a president, the absolute easiest thing to do, is to commit whatever crime comes into your head, just do it, and then you can't be prosecuted for it. Forget wrestling with Congress, trying to create legislation, just if you want something, take it. If someone is in your way, kill them. If you want to make a show of punishing those that go against you, torture them in public in whatever way you like. 

Biden's lousy debate showing is nothing compared to this. It is a bug on the windshield. This is a disaster and I am not sure how you fix it. At least there is no fix in the short term.
