"Ah but but but what if Garland had just Arrested Trump day-one?"
I predict not only would Dems have then gotten absolutely murdered in midterms, but that the trial would *still* not have completed before the next presidential election.
AND THAT SCOTUS WOULD HAVE THROWN THE CASE OUT, DUMMIES.

Even if you get to an acquittal, you can finish the process. It would have been really helpful to have Trump in prison during the campaign.

There’s no magic wand. There never was One Weird Trick that would stop this.
That’s not the same as there being nothing we can do. It’s just asking for realism.

It's all just rehashed authoritarian fantasizing.
We as voters are our own worst enemies!
And this made me also suddenly remember that Biden tried repeatedly to stop new oil drilling from happening and shut down a major new refining operation, and SCOTUS knocked *that* down too!
Seems Like A Pattern!
Dobbs I think is a reason why Dems let anti LGBTQ+ laws that were obviously unconstitutional in Florida go without appealing them to federal court: SCOTUS would've made them national.
See: "break with Biden's policies" reads "abandon progressive economic policies"
Make the party More Centrist.
Because if they start with "oh well *maybe* this set of actions would have improved Dem odds", well, hey, that and a $5 will buy you a Mega Millions Lottery Ticket.
But I'm clear-eyed it means war.
