Trump stacked the Supreme Court with justices that favour him during his term, and he could use their power to decide the US 2024 Presidential election in his favour
As the free world girds its loins for a new leader, it is unclear whether the next US President will be elected by a democratic vote or by the six Supreme Court judges. Both candidates are “lawyered up” with hundreds of professional advocates on each side to challenge the ballots – Republicans have already brought 130 court actions about electoral arrangements.
In his previous term, Trump was able to appoint 220 federal judges , as advised by the Federalist Society, right-wing lawyers who nominate judges of similar bent. A few were so intellectually challenged that the American Bar Association deemed them unqualified, but they were appointed nonetheless.
The court said that Trump must be presumed innocent of any other crimes committed as president unless he acts solely in a private capacity. So if Trump kills a White House gardener in a fit of rage, he might be indicted, but not if he arranges for the CIA or FBI to have the gardener arrested and imprisoned.
