I honestly still can’t believe we have a Constitutional Amendment written for the exact purpose of making it very clear people who try coups from office are subsequently ineligible and SCOTUS said “let’s pretend we don’t.”
Constitutional Amendments are extremely difficult to pass! But hilariously easy to ignore with out of control judiciary.
Thomas and Alito are corrupt and want a coup too. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

I’ve found that one hard to understand as well. Unlike machine guns, they saw that one coming.
Constitution also says international law is the law of the United States, SCOTUS has been playing “naw, they didn’t really mean that” for decades.
The most interesting aspect of this supreme farce is the specious reasoning: a coup conducted as an official act can’t be a coup.
ALT: a pug dog is laying on a couch and asking what .
