The scotus ruling is breaking my brain. How is this guy going to be remotely constrained in a second term when Project 2025 is a blueprint for vastly more presidential power?

The SCOTUS ruling simply upholds decades of legal precedence that was already in place The only way to constrain a democratically elected leader from acting in his official, constitutionally protected capacity is to not elect him

That would be true if it was a unanimous ruling. It clearly wasn’t.

Just because some justices are dumb doesn’t mean they have a point. This is helpful: https://x.com/jtodd601/status/1807941989901688859?s=46&t=jBELT-4pGKlkq4e7X7vjdg

Ah ok. Attempting to prevent even more centralized power that enables the atrocities in that list is the “dumb” position. Got it.

It’s only dumb because it’s a misunderstanding of how government works. The federal government has a lot of power. This may be a new realization to leftists but it’s not a new realization to everyone. There are ways to limit that power, like constitutional amendments that make certain actions unconstitutional or checks from other branches. But opening up a democratically elected leader to the risk of prosecution for acting within his or her constitutional duties isn’t it.
