Anyway, if a President can try to use fraud and incite violence to overturn an election, get re-elected anyway by people who are fine with that, and use re-election to nullify the case against him, at what point do he and his supporters lose the expectation of being protected by the rule of law?

Expectation as in "legitimate entitlement" or expectation as in "we believe we'll get it"? Because the former, long before this. The latter, not until the tiger is actually eating their face.

Especially when said President is arguably the greatest individual threat to the literal survival of the Republic in American history.

The expectation of being *protected* by the rule of law? Never. The law exists solely to protect the MAGA crowd at the expense of all others.

The assumption being that he is a shoe in to win....he might but it aint a certainty. Far from it.

if there's no law that's equally applied, there's no law. DEMs are playing by rules that the other side doesn't even acknowledge exist. the implication here is scary but here we are.

SG should just say why shouldn’t Biden send troops to arrest the SOCTUS during the oral argument. Umpire is dining the uniform and playing the red team. It’s a disgrace.

"at what point do he and his supporters lose the expectation of being protected by the rule of law?" Never. They never, ever lose that expectation.
