        Order the public executions of Trump and Vance as fascist threats to democracy, transfer the presidency to the Speaker on January 6th.

        Sounds like a reasonable compromise to me, centrists love those, right?

          Public? No, I don’t see the need for a public execution. That’s too MAGA for me. However, you know how the conservative members of SCOTUS stick little hints in their rulings and dissents to give ideas to red state AGs? Justice Sonia Sotomayor dropped such a hint for Biden in her dissent on on the executive privilege case.

          In her dissent to Monday’s Supreme Court ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor painted a grim portrait of a commander-in-chief now “immune, immune, immune” from criminal liability and free to exploit official presidential power against political opponents.

          “Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?” she wrote. “Immune.”

          It’s subtle, but I think I see what she’s getting at.
