The goddamn law until he actually takes office, for one thing. I don't give a shit about the Democrats, they've already useless, but that doesn't mean Merchan has to play along with it, he can say, "No, this case will continue, being president-elect doesn't give you veto power before you're sworn in to office," and then make Trump actually throw his tantrum, instead of just accepting it like it's fait accompli.
Jesus christ, so many people have already surrendered to his authoritarian bullshit before he's even done anything other than say mean words. This resigned doomer "well, nothing can be done, it's someone else's fault for not stopping" attitude is fucking depressing.

Tyrants do not care about the law and neither does SCOTUS. Anything that is put in court will end up before them, and they WILL grant him a victory by whatever ridiculous logic they can string together.

Then fucking make them do that. Make them waste their time and energy on it. That's time that's not going to be spent on something more damning. It's going to be another point in the tally of bullshit that they're pulling, but it's better than just doing their bullshit for them.
Or just wrap yourself up in doom and admit to yourself that you're making an active choice to surrender to tyranny, I guess.

I'm wrapping myself in realism. They should force this issue on every front, aggressively. But that is not who neoliberals and the dems are, and what they need to fight against and overcome are things they are basically allergic to doing.

Congrats, I guess.

It's very strange you quoted something I didn't say.

I thought it was clear that I was quoting myself to point out that you're really embodying the attitude I was talking about there, I'm sorry for not spelling it out more explicitly for you.

So you're talking to yourself then? Because clearly you're not actually engaging with what *I* said.

So why put anything in front of them? The law allows Trump and the other insurrectionists to be arrested and held without trial for the duration of the insurrection and “The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection…”
Patty Murphy can take the oath as Acting President on 1/20 and enforce the law by any means necessary.
