    There’s some hyperbole in these threads for sure, but not a lot. The president can’t handwave away the bill of rights, because nothing in the constitution gives them that power.

    However, the president does have the authority as commander in chief of authorizing lethal force against individuals. If Biden authorized Seal Team 6 to execute Trump, that is in fact an official act that he has the authority to perform. Sure maybe it is technically not legal, but that doesn’t matter since the president has complete immunity from criminal law. The house could still draft articles of impeachment but the senate would be unable to remove the president because the president is immune to criminal proceedings.

    And if Trump wants to create an organization to round up and execute all the gays (and the Jews, of course), he has the power to do that; and with today’s ruling, he will never face consequences for doing so.

    Irreparable damage has been done to American democracy today.

        At this point you need to present your evidence that they can’t because SCROTUS literally said they can

          At this point you’ve outed yourself as a partisan hack that is stuck in binary thinking.

        But as an official act, the president can strip someone of citizenship.

        The supreme court Supreme Court Justices disagree with you, but OK I’ll bite.

        Why can’t a president kill an american citizen on american soil? Because it’s illegal? Do you understand that that that no longer applies to the president?

        So you are saying he just has to wait until he leaves American soil? You’re right, that’s so inconvenient.
