Like the lawyers literally got up there and argued that presidential immunity for official acts means an assassination ordered as an official act of president is forever immune from prosecution. And the supreme court agreed. Deal with your cowardly party instead of complaining to us.
Don’t worry I’m not really serious this is just the explicit conclusion of nobodies like one-third of the Supreme Court, when writing about this decision
The problem, obviously, is that Congress would impeach and remove him.
Look, it was a serious question. Yes, there's all kinds of performative nonsense he could do, but what's something that would change the outcome of this decision?
Are you as a member of Congress really sure you’re going to vote to impeach the guy who just had people across the street domed from a thousand yards out? Would you bet your life on it?
More seriously he could put out the word that it is the position of the Democratic Party that these justices should be impeached, that if Democrats win Congress that’s what will happen, and that this ruling is on the chopping block as soon as Alito and Thomas keel over and die
He doesn't even have to kill anyone. He could do something like forgiveness for all outstanding student loans. Seems like the court's grant of immunity would allow him to ignore the court forbidding him to forgive loans.
I don't see how that would work: he could say they were forgiven, but someone would actually have to do that -- and I doubt they'd risk jail time, since they're not immune.
However, I would like to see some kind of action.
Pardons would cover part of it. And I suppose the immunity would need the courts to flesh it out. Immunity isn't much good if the underlings can be prosecuted at will.
