Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns

Judge Duggan has filed a motion to dismiss based on judicial immunity. Overseeing/keeping order in her courtroom is part of her official duties. A really interesting aspect is that immunity law forecloses examination of subjective motive, so it's irrelevant wh she wanted the feds not to arrest Ruiz.
