Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?

"That could well be an official act," Trump lawyer John Sauer says

If this is validated by the SC then hopefully Joe makes immediate use of it.

Yes, kill Trump's lawyer. He said he's cool with it

No…that still ruins the country

The best thing to do would be an amendment that removes immunity

He could use it to fix the court and then have the court abolish the ruling.

If Trump wins the election, he's going to do what he wants regardless of the Court's ruling. Let's stop pretending that "Even when it accomplishes nothing, following the rules to the bitter end is the noble thing to do." Why the fuck does the Captain need to go down with his ship?

And then the next Republican President does the same thing

If your goal is no Republican President ever again then you don’t need to worry about the ruling anyway

So first kill Trump, then kill some of the SC judges, so that they won't oppose you when you move to make the president bound to uphold the law.
