    It isn’t a shield from consequences. The courts and DOJ were prosecuting him.

    There is NO situation where elected officials should be deciding who can oppose them in a democratic electoral system.

          Why not? He could make the executive decision to stop the madness and force their hands to actually put forth a trial. He could done it and immediately resigned and let the system decide if his actions were justified. I understand its really not a great thing to undermine democracy… but if he truely believe democracy was already being undermined, then an exetreme act with benevolent intention should be allowed so as long those actions are proven justifiably.

            Because that is how dictatorships work. That action would completely undo our democratic republic in a way that even 1/6/21 couldn’t.

              So I Guess its better to vote for a dictatorship than trying to protect democracy for the future.

                  No it would not. It would be a wake up call for the senate to pull back the power of POTUS if anything.

                    Yes, it would because you have a candidate going out of their way to prevent a fair election from happening.
