The supreme court is, as you might guess from the name, a court. They make decisions on cases that involve a point of federal law, and they strike down rulings or presidential directives which violate the constitution.
They are not a political body, and have themselves ruled that they may not preside over political hearings such as whether or not a president should continue his role or be allowed to run for re-election. For them to do so would be an abomination and an invitation for the highest level judges in our country to sit in a kangaroo court.
What you’re proposing is not just ill-advised, it’s ridiculous. It’s like saying the supreme court should elect presidents rather than the public, it goes directly against what the court—and this country—is supposed to stand for.
Because what we've seen from congress in recent history is reasonable, correct? The representatives and senators on both sides of the aisle are making decisions based on what's best for the country, rather than what benefits them the most?
Saying it's the same as wanting to change how we elect our Presidents is arguably the dumbest thing uttered in this thread, but the electoral college is also broken as shit, and should be reworked as well.

Yes.... you obviously know my beliefs better than I do. I had even stated (in the post you quoted) I am not a trump supporter.. so I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion :rolleyes:
It's a perfect example of how you'll ignore information to continue your preconceived notions.
But I doubt you'll understand that.
While I may even agree with SOME things I've seen you post, some appear to have a heavy bias at times.
I repeatedly see (and obviously not just you specifically) a continued acceptance of behavior from one side, but not the other.
I don't understand why everyone has the mindset "anyone who disagrees with my POVs is obviously wrong and ill informed". As if only you and your sources know the truth, and what is best.
I've seen your posts lol. You were an avid Trump supporter, and you've posted nonsense since before and after the orange morons loss.
I don't have the mindset that anyone who disagrees with me is wrong, I have a mindset that anyone still supporting former President Trump is wrong. We can have a fundamental difference on believes that makes you dislike Democrats and their nominees, but there is no longer any acceptable reason to still be in support of that fear mongering idiot, as you so clearly are.
There's also zero justification to believe his actions do not warrant political banishment, as you and apparently most of the subforum disagree with. I've said over and over that i completely understand how anyone could have been taken in by Trump four years ago, but after four years of constant fuck ups, abusing his station of power, and outright treason, people are still too dumb to realize they made a mistake electing a conman businessman who's failed at every venture except the one his daddy made for him.
