Ok. He gets immunity, but then Biden shoots him in the face.

Seriously, a ruling for blanket immunity would be completely insane and effectively doom the peaceful transfer of power in the long run.

Oh 100%. Nothing about this is sane

You know, I'd actually be more excited to vote for the man if he did that.

Why stop there? The conservative majority in the SCOTUS has been a huge headache. Clearly the carrot won't get republicans in Congress to do their job (see the concession-stuffed border bill they killed), maybe it's time for Biden to use the stick.

But the reality is that Democrats would actually hold Biden accountable by impeachment.

It's all timing. Immunity is granted on January 19th
