I agree. But I don't think Biden has the guts or the energy to do it.
He should just resign due to health reasons in favor of Harris who I
think could do it. But would she?

What we have right now is a novel SCOTUS-approved presidential
superpower, as Sotomayor points out in her dissent. A President just
has to make anything he wants to do "official." The slow but definite
slide into authoritarianism is apparently underway. Game theory
suggests seizing any advantage and initiative immediately, and with
Trump immediately seeking relief from his conviction, based on the
SCOTUS immunity ruling, I don’t see why Biden couldn’t make use of
them now. Use the powers granted by SCOTUS to indict and arrest
MagaMan as orchestrator, and SCOTUS justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch,
Barrett for accomplice liability that led to Jan 6. Use the DOJ and
make it an "official act" towards protecting democracy.
I know, I know: pitchforks, large risk, and perhaps a constitutional
crisis. Yet, invoking such a move is proof of the vast overreach of
those justices, the lack of respect for rule of law of that ruling,
and the felon of the moment taking immediate advantage. Democrats
should leverage this somehow.

If only I could wake up and realize it was all just a horrible
dream! But the reality is If Biden remains the Democratic
candidate then Trump is going to win in a landslide, and the
majority of the House and Senate will be Republican and
incorporated into the Trump hive mind. And Trump already has the
Supreme Court in his pocket. But if another Democrat, almost any
other Democrat, is the candidate then American democracy would at
least have a fighting chance of surviving.
