Let’s try a different one.

Suppose that it is early January, 2020 again. The President of the United States says “All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they're doing,” and then says that he has received briefings as President that lead him to believe the election results are not valid.

Suppose that he had a “yes man“ Attorney General who issued a statement saying “the office of the Attorney General agrees with the President’s summation of the situation, and hopes that the American people will remain calm and continue to support the Office of the President in the swift resolution of this matter in the name of democracy.”

Suppose the President had staffed most department leadership with simpering “yes men” as well, and they were quick to express their support even as he began calling for the arrest of his opponent.

How on earth would you ever prove for a fact that the president was misrepresenting the situation in order to stay in power, in this case, and not executing what they thought was an essential protective measure against election interference.
How would you have done that before the ruling?

Got a little backlogged there, Bi_3. The joke was pretty irrelevant by July 16th.

I'm sure the ACLU is going to be filing and getting injunctions all over the place.

Could have put this in the transgender rights thread but any chance to bump this thread. The Court is going to hear a case on Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors today. Should start at 10 am if anybody's interested.

Props to Jackson for pointing out that Republicans are happy for cis gendered kids to get treatment that affirms their gender.
