Or hell, just eliminate the opposition party. They’ll do it first and we’re just going to stand idly by and let them for the sake of “moral superiority”. They’ll do it and still see themselves as saints.

Have followed him for a while. The video doesn’t discuss presidential authority to appoint justices to the Supreme Court, which is what is referenced in the post.

The video I linked at least discusses the authority to do a thing vs having immunity for doing a thing

Wow this guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Biden does have the authority to do it. The entire argument hangs on a lie.

And “this guy” thinks the Democrats should have got rid of the filibuster and pack the court. It’s just not something Biden can unilaterally accomplish.

Let's talk about the objection to unpacking the court...
