      Honestly I didn’t know that random courts can do stuff like this in the US. Can’t Joe Biden sign some executive order or something?

        Joe Biden can punt a child across the white house lawn without consequence. He will simply shrug and call for the courts to be democratic and urge billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes. The end.
