People advocating for Biden to go on a crime spree are assuming that the Supreme Court is aiming to be consistent, and apply this ruling fairly to both parties.

The SCOTUS doesn't have a DOJ or an FBI to arrest and prosecute anyone with. That's the big catch in all this arguing.

If Biden seriously wanted to be a sassy bitch, he'd have Trump extraordinarily renditioned to a prison in Iraq and tried for bombing the Iraqi airfield that hosted the Iranian ambassadors.

The SCOTUS gets to pound sand, Americans can heal a gapping foreign policy wound between the US and Iran, and Trump gets a taste of living as an illegal.

But he's not going to do that. He's not going to impound Trump's assets or freeze his accounts. He's not going to treat Trump in any way like an asset of an enemy power.

Because he's terrified of violating the Norms that dictate presidents can, in fact, do whatever the hell they want.
