"Please hold off punishing me from unsuccessfully cheating in the last election until I am able to successfully cheat in this one"
"Okay."
I'm not so sure on this one. Supremes, even Trump appointees, like power and influence. Trump has already come out and said he isn't going to be bound by law which means they effectively will have no power anymore. The salary of a Supreme Court justice isn't enough to live on lavishly. Just as Justice Thomas who lives large by being buddy-buddy with industry leaders who stand to benefit from his rulings. No power in the future, no benefits in the future.
I'll believe that when I see it. Been told "No, they're definitely going to hold him accountable. He's in REAL trouble now, not like the last several decades of fake trouble he's been in" too many times now. I hope my pessimistic skepticism is misplaced, but I'm not holding my breath.
I’m not holding my breath.
I'm not either, but those with the decision to make lose if they give into Trump on this one. Thats a key difference to his prior decisions that went in his favor.
But it's not a matter of Trump... He won't survive another term. He might not make it to election, win or lose - he's old as fuck.
It's about the freedom society, or whatever they call themselves - where will their backers land?
Because where their power meets the groups money is where luxury happens...
