What sort of constitutional or statutory authority gives the President the authority to assassinate political opponents?
That’s just the hyperbolic horrible hypotheticals of Sotomayer talking.
Well, think of it this way…if Scranton Joe sets off WW3 by randomly pressing buttons on the nuclear football thinking it’s a telephone during one of his “off peak” moments outside of 10am to 4pm…he won’t face any charges.
What you have to wait for Allan is for the lower court to sort through the charges to see which ones fall under Presidential duty and which ones don’t, because that is what the SCOTUS Ruling directed. Had the High Court said “total immunity” they would not have done that, and the evaluation of charges would not be taking place.
You can play dumb about this if you like Allan; it won’t hurt your reputation here in the least.
