Simply put, we need to get Trump OUT of the White House and get him indicted and sued on as many charges as can be secured, and we need it to happen NOW!
What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
(Thomas Jefferson, in a letter dated November 13, 1787, to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams,)
The conservative justices often reach decisions based on abstract reasoning, as if it were all a theoretical argument. (Take the Presidential Immunity decision, please.) However, I am hoping that as some of them are seeing the real-live consequences, they may begin to actually consider those in future rulings. After all, a president with immunity can take out the Supreme Court with impunity.
If you are relying on the likes of Gorsuch and Barrett, you have already lost the battle.
I hear you! As I here, it's ironic. But here we are. For more on this disastrous Supreme Court:

That's definitely true for Gorsuck, but Barrett seems to listen to her inner voice of late.
Coney-Barrett is standing on the side of the law not Trump’s latest fascist whim.
Let's hope she continues to. It's pathetic to have to hope for this, but under our democratic system, this is how it works!
I am not to very sure of that.

Those who wrote our Constitution, and those who guded the many amenments to it, were always making a gamble: Life Tenure.
It is that which backs up Feveral judges of honor and courage to stand in the way of would be dictators.
I believe they will continue to do that.
