      Yeah, and the current traitor majority would make up whatever bullshit to not do that, regardless of how tight a corner they’ve tried to paint themselves into with the decision.

      But Biden could just assassinate them, too. And then there’d be nobody left to object.

        Not really, controlling the military is very explicitly an “official act” as stated in the verdict. Biden could literally seal team 6 him with no legal consequences

          The other recent catastrophic decision, the one overturning Chevron deference, flushed stare decisis right down the shitter.

          When I say they “make up whatever bullshit,” I mean they really make up whatever bullshit!

            At this point they might as well just say, “Any Republican president who toes the party line is immune from prosecution because we say so. Yeah, we’re blatantly partisan, what are you gonna do about it? We’re appointed for life, and you’ll never have enough Democrats in Congress to impeach us. LOL!”

            I’d still hate them, but I’d also appreciate the honesty.

      That can be easily solved by first assassinating any members of SCOTUS who would rule the assassinations to not be official business

      No, it just has to be within the duties of the president – official business – How could POTUS doing a military order not be official business ? Whose business would that be other than the leader of the military?

        Yeah, but if he does it and gets charged for this abuse of power, it will probably be tried before the Supreme Court, meaning they’ll get to ratify whether it actually was official business.

          Except no it wouldn’t because he wielded power exclusive to the office of president therefore it is considered an official act and his motives cannot even be investigated to find out if it was an abuse of power.

          The degree to which the Supreme Court has fucked the US with this ruling is hard to understate.
