Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?
“That could well be an official act,” Trump lawyer John Sauer says

Obviously, why wouldn’t he? This is potentially the dumbest argument ever heard in a court room and we’re all supposed to sit here and entertain its plausibility. What a joke.

Alito pretty much did argue that.
He said presidents won’t leave office peacefully if they aren’t able to retire to security without threats of prosecution.
4 justices have to vote to hear a case at the Supreme Court. I don’t understand why they’d ever choose to.
Why not have Biden just assassinate Trump then? He likely wouldn’t have to deal with a long drawn out court decision. He can be done with it and move on. It’s horrible to consider, but I’m so so so so so so so so so sick of Trump. Everyday I’m bombarded with orange pulp. 😆
Just put them in a jail. And put enough Republican congresspeople in jail to have the majority. And then declare they can leave as soon as a bill is passed making the stupid “immunity” shit illegal.
You can demonstrate the issues without killing anyone.
The kicker for the immunity is that he can be impeached and convicted by congress…
So you’re only immune if you’re a republican and you have enough votes in the senate… Lord knows Democrats would convict each other but republicans will toe the line.
But you can just remove the members that don’t support you. No impeachment after that.

So he orders him killed just before leaving office
