    If it escalates they’ll take a request for review of their earlier king making decision and hold it as misinterpreted which they can 100% do and that would remove criminal immunity for charges prior to the ruling.

      Well, sure, but before they render a decision, Trump can just have them killed, which at this moment is totally cool and legal, according to them. He can also have all of congress killed, which sort of blunts the possibility of impeachment, which as of right now is the only way to punish him in any way, according to SCOTUS.

        You dramatically misunderstand how hard power clings to power and moreover with this court money. If their judgements have no effect there’s no reason to buy them anymore.

          This is the kicker.

          If the Supreme Court is seen as defunct, the court is no longer valuable. All those bribes they received will stop, and I would imagine some may come asking for it back with fewer words.

            Yep. Roberts is willing to service Trump, but is also mindful of maintaining his own power.
