Putting Merrick Garland in charge was a huge mistake. AFAIK, the only reason he was picked as a Scrotus nominee was because he was so moderate and milktoast the it would make the republicans look absurd if they blocked him. Biden did it for similar reasons, but assumed the Dems would be in power for a lot longer I think.

If only the Dems could understand that fascists don’t worry about looking absurd, because absurdity is a common weapon in their takeovers.

They literally made that ruling when a Democrat had 2 years left in his term. They told Biden that the president is above the law, but Biden chose to sit on his hands and do nothing.

All Biden had to do was do it at the last minute and run out the legal clock that rule that it was wrong just like Trump has done with the judicial system.

Sure the supreme court would make moves to take up the case almost immediately and rule against Biden. Just like with Trump, even if we proved Trump rigged the election now the election was already certified and a done deal, we don't have systems for removing someone in that capacity other than impeachment. However, by that point Harris would have been President and they would have had to impeach each successor to the President until they came to a Republican who would replace him. That would have meant impeaching Harris, and then Walz, and so on. Impeachment of Walz would have been a harder job, too, since there would have been very little to tie him to Biden's act.

The best they could have done would have been making Trump speaker of the house to put him in the line of succession but the Democrats could have slowed down impeachment proceedings to a crawl as well, dragging it out for months and months and reducing the likelihood of the plan even working and leaving Trump with a job he didn't even want as speaker of the house.

However even if they made Trump speaker, his criminal cases would have had the time to wind through the courts and put him permanently behind bars, making it more difficult to keep him in his position as speaker of the house.

Anyway, the point is Democrats had every opportunity to play the same bullshit games that Republicans have played and continue to play to exert their power over government without the consent of the governed. All they had to do was do it close enough to the election that our systems of judicial checks and balances would have ruled against him after the election was over and Biden was no longer President.

No, it's not, because that's not what was said.

Commenter literally says "on that one decision", and you constructed a strawman as if the commenter was saying that one decision made up for his past mistakes.
