Sridhar Ramesh: If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.

But filling SC vacancies is an Official Act and so anything POTUS does relating to it, including creating said vacancies, isn't a crime anyway. Have I got the new logic correct?

Eliminating threats to democracy is also an official act

Isn't there something about "all enemies foreign and domestic"?

I think I remember something about that

Brave of Sridhar to risk a repeat trip to gulag

This is a testable hypothesis. And since the president is immune anyway...

brb trying a thing...

Must? Who's going to enforce that? They do, though, get to decide if that was an official act or not

Tricky if noncorporeal.

My opinion most likely to get me on a watchlist is that this wouldn’t be morally wrong

when’s the last time one of those schmucks recused themselves?

bold

I don't trust any of them to recuse themselves

You get it.

Good luck with step 2!

There is actually a rule that addresses this. It’s called the “rule of necessity”. But still a pretty good post
