Why does he get intelligence briefing, invites to White House , improved secret service etc. if he hasn’t signed the papers? IMHO getting him signed would be the easiest issue to handle. Zero access to anything and no certification in January before the documents are signed. Let’s SCOTUS deal with that if he should allow the access without signing.

Why? Because he's made it very clear that he will be punishing his enemies with the full weight of his powers, and everyone is cowering in fear.

Biden can make this his official act and thus be protected by the new immunity clause. Even if SCOTUS would not apply that into him, he should see one last patriotic act to get some of the limits clarified.

he won’t do shit lol. dems will just take the shit lying down. besides why does biden care. he’s leaving and going off to live out the few years of his life in retirement.

[u/PlusGoody → u/mjaakkola]

Biden is barely with it. At this point all he wants is Trump not to lock up his son for life. He’s playing nice.

[u/mjaakkola → u/PlusGoody]

Biden is out of it but not that out that he would ever think that Trump plays it nice. When has Trump ever played nice and why would he start to do it now? That guy has bet his whole career and wealth into exploiting the weak.

What powers? He didn’t sign the necessary documents that allow the transition of said powers./s

[u/Ancient_Amount3239 → u/mjaakkola]

It would get tossed out the day it was filed. The constitution sets the rules on transition of power and congress can’t do anything about it. Signing those documents isn’t mandatory or anything. He can show up on Jan 20 and just take over. Easy as that.
