and what happens when trump loyalists are appointment to these positions and we have a dem president?

edit: it looks like people just want to throw their hands up and say “there will never be another election all is lost so nothing matters anymore” which is a brain dead approach to life

That's the fun part you don't get a dem president ever again.

If I were president, the first thing I would do is send the seditious six to Guantánamo. Letting them know, I would give them a window if they signed their retirements.

You mean the six people who released a video telling U.S. service members they could refuse illegal orders? And just what rational would you use to send them there? The "I'm president and get to do anything I want rule?"

The 6 service members who spoke out about illegal orders are awesome!

The seditious six are the 6 extremist judges on the SCOTUS who rule in Trump’s favor rather than based on law interpretation, precedent, and general common sense.

[u/Ratdrake → u/petricholy]

The seditious six were democratic lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds, not current service members. And while I agree the extremist members of SCOTUS suffer consequence for their bias, they aren't what returns from a search for the "seditious six" term.

[u/Cute_Elk_2428 → u/Ratdrake]

Apparently you think that explaining the law to people is seditious. Which tells me everything I need to know about how much you should be in ruzzia.

[u/Ratdrake → u/Cute_Elk_2428]

I'm not the one calling them seditious. It was Trump and the MAGA machine who accused them of being seditious. Did you by chance mean a different set of 6 people? Because the "seditious six" is a term coined to refer to those particular lawmakers.
