reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.
The President can’t pass regulations with formal emissions standards and legal proceedings to challenge or enforce them, but he CAN, now, simply order that the CEO of any oil corporation be executed.
The SC did not think this through.
