We do agree. It’s just like I said, I am not sure what mechanism he could use exactly to do this. Presidents don’t just declare people traitors and criminals and jail them. If they could, Trump would have the entire Democratic Party in the slammer. There might have been more Biden could do, I just don’t know exactly what. And you don’t seem to either.
The supreme court literally said that anything the president does is legal as long as it’s an offical act. He should have done whatever needed to be done. Regardless of the law. If people had problems with it we could have dealt with him after the fact and revised whatever laws needed to be revised. He’s old as shit anyway so had nothing to lose. Instead he sat on his hands and allowed Trump to regain power leaving us to deal with the consequences while he will be dead before long anyway.
He waited almost two years to take any action on this because he didn’t want to look like it was a political attack but trump was going to play that card either way. If he had told them to start working from day one this wouldn’t be happening. There was plenty he could have done but he was too wrapped up in the old system of traditions to understand that things have changed.
This nation has a long history of precedent for dealing with traitors and criminals.
Issue being that Americans collectively no longer agree on what those words mean.
We don’t have to agree. He was in power, he can decide. Just like Trump is deciding what counts as “hate speech” now.
