Hannah Walser: The Court has purported to strip us of all legal recourse for crimes committed by the most powerful person in the nation. Each and every one of us is now, effectively, at the mercy of an autocrat, who could order our death if he simply made the pretense of connecting it to his official duties.

Criminal law probably functioned as some kind of deterrent on abuses of presidential power, and that deterrent is now gone. But even if that weren't true, today's ruling would be an appalling display of contempt for the American people and for the basic principles on which this country rests.

Ironically, it probably puts the president in more danger. Liberalism (classical, neo, or social) relies on equal footing under the law to prevent the upheaval of coups, assassinations, wars. Throw out the bedrock and the house collapses.

He doesn’t even need a pretense! The order itself is an official act! He won’t need a pretense, he’ll just need an active pardon pen

They read Leviathan and thought, "Yes, that's what we need."

Yes. Effectively we've all been turned into the president's slaves in our legal status. We are public slaves now.

On the 1st day of the month named after dictator-for-life Julius Caesar (who ended the Roman Republic in favor of hereditary takeover by his nephew, Octavian Augustus), the Republic of the United States transitioned into the Kingdom of the United States. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

two things: 1. someone much more dangerous and capable that djt will campaign on execution for anyone who even looks at a cop. 2. The conversation will not be 'why is donald trump killing political enemies', but 'why didnt joe brandon stop him?'.
