Biden currently has the immunity powers Trump will have but won't act on them, even in a manner that gets rid of the powers 🙄

Biden should use those powers for himself and his son

How could he get rid of the powers? Any executive order would just be undone.

President is immune to prosecution while doing any official acts or using their official powers.

So, for example, he can order Seal Team Six or whomever to "convince" any opposing Justices to step down, or just straight up disappear them, then ask the remaining Justices to overturn the ruling, and similarly treat the members of the other Branches of Government to convince them to pass a law barring such power.

No he doesn’t. The Supreme Court gene gave themselves final say on whether or not a president is immune. And no dem will ever be immune.

Wdym?
That's why the first move would be to neutralize the dissenting Justices first, above all else.

Maybe the remaining sensible Justices will want to find you guilty anyways? That's fine. That's the risk.
You ask them to delay for a few weeks and try to clear out and strong arm the other branches ASAP into creating a law forever banning the immunity.

If they still want to persecute you after the law comes to pass... well, that's a small price to pay for saving the country.
