The Supreme Court is slow walking democracy to its death

I am livid, but not surprised by the Supreme Court's slow walking unto its death decision on a question of presidential immunity: In doing it, it is also slow-walking democracy to its death.SCOTUS has engineered a way to avoid answering it and keeping court action delayed on a fundamental question that will now go unanswered in time for voters to make a decision they can trust: by a jury of Trump's peers. The unanswered questions will stay unanswered: is the president above the law and did Trump commit a crime as charged in the indictments. for actions leading to and on January 6. We will now have eight more months of Trump whining about his victimization. how bad democratic governance is, and how he really won in 2020. The only institutions left to make the case for democracy will be Biden himself and the Democratic Party. and enough brave citizens who care enough about democracy to make their voices heard.

Here is what is at stake: The answer in a democracy is that no president is above the law, and in a dictatorship, the president has the license to kill, cheat, and steal to stay in power for years, governing by fear and threats to quel any challenges to his power. Fear and threats are how Trump controls the House now, and he has made it clear if elected,, he will complete his power takeover of all three branches of government, with appointments of loyalists as it appears he has succeeded in the Supreme Court.  

There are some theories floating around of how MAGA could try a repeat of 2020 and use a variety of maneuvers to deny Biden a second term even though he wins the electoral vote.   will try the "steal" trick again and much depends on who is the speaker at the time electoral college votes are counted.  I may be MAGA Mike Johnson or some other MAGA still holds the gavel. It is important that even if the Jan.6  Jack Smith action survives the immunity BS, it continues and finishes between November and January before total chaos happens.  It also means that the more decisive the Biden vote is, the less credibility such a coup attempt would have.    Here is one scenario: https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-new-over-the-top-secret-plan-518?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
