Jay Willis: Roberts's opinion deals mostly in abstractions, since he really, really doesn't want to talk about January 6. But just based on this, it's hard for me to see how a president could be prosecuted for ordering SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

It is within Biden's conclusive and preclusive authority to protect the country from insurrection, and eliminate insurrection leadership to prevent repeat attempts.

Sotomayor agrees

They couldn’t!

You’d want to have them do it in DC, so the President could pardon the STS members that participate

Also, note, that this applies to ordering Supreme Court justices killed, too

But see In re Neagle, 135 U.S. 1 (1890).

At the very least, Biden now must try out the newfound powers the SC has given him to save democracy and risk the potential consequences that it is determined they only apply to Republicans

Well in that case Biden could save us a whole lot of trouble with this one simple trick

Or, say --- 6 Supreme Court judges?
