    They’ve had the case since December’23. Don’t spread conspiracy thinking.

      This is standard campaigning strategy. If the news cycle is bad for your candidate, try to refocus the narrative. Now people aren’t talking about Biden’s age but the SC decision.

      They’re making a bigger deal about it than it actually is in order to better their chances for campaign.

      I don’t see the conspiracy in this, it’s standard stuff.

        So, the Biden administration had the majority conservative Supreme Court rule that Presidents are immune from prosecution. Obviously, Biden is hiding his power level. /s

          You’re not understanding me. I’m not claiming he orchestrated this decision. I’m saying his campaign is using this decision as an opportunity to deflect attention away from the concerns around his age that erupted after the debate.

          Never let a good crisis go to waste and all that. Am I speaking Greek?

              It’s PR 101. I’m not making a controversial statement. Biden would be stupid not to. He has competent campaign officials.

                    They’re making a bigger deal about it than it actually is

                    If, however, the court’s decision frees future presidents to act in corrupt, even criminal ways, then the “rule for the ages” articulated in this opinion will have a major impact upon the separation of powers among the three branches of government, potentially giving far more power to the president than has been the case throughout American history. That will have huge implications for the functioning of the presidency and the stability, if not existence, of American democracy. source

                    It’s a big deal. Of course Biden would rather talk about the case, it undermines the entire democracy. His age will continue to be a focus of the election, Republicans will not let it go.
