Can a President Legally Assassinate Opposition? These SCOTUS Justices Think So…

Trump lawyers are suggesting that a president cannot be prosecuted for ordering murder, coups, and insurrections. Even worse, these Supreme Court Justices appear to agree...

Will Donald Trump's shocking defense save the former president from persecutions or open the door for presidents to get away with any crime.

Should presidents be able to be prosecuted for their acts in office?

I don't think the justices are in favor of any president breaking the law, only trump. They definitely wouldn't be arguing that Biden would have immunity for doing what trump has done.

[The_Nightwatch]

How fine would the justices be if Joe Biden arranged for donnie to take a dirt nap?

[christophersnyder]

This isn't the ancient days when that was the norm.
Why do these deplorables live in the past?

[TroyProutyShow]

It's crazy... this week in Supreme Court was scary.

[Albertox-mgko]

This sounds like some question asked in a third world tin pot dictatorship or in Hell.

[LMM]

Gee I wish the Justice Department’s lawyer had asked that question!!!

This is a perfect example of “lawyering”:
Saying things you don’t believe yourself, you know are ridiculous, you know may even be harmful, but you say it anyway just to ‘advocate’ for your client.

Vote for Dem control of the legislature so the SCROTUS-5 & Cannon can be impeached. 💙

The current Republican Supreme Court Justices are providing very strong reasons why politically appointed SC Judges should be dismissed and replaced by non politically appointed SC justices, who do not play party political games with the Constitution and the Law.

Trump could also eliminate the entire Supreme Court given absolute immunity even by physical elimination. He could just think it would be amusing to his mind and his whim would be followed through. There is no limit remember. Trump loves to try things to there limits. He is a Nero in waiting.

Didn't the House's Jan 6 Committee already do all the analysis on this?

[deankostas]

Sounds as if the Justices are realistically looking ahead, not wanting to set the stage for rash acts involving future presidents?

[rhondaspeelman]

Hope crazy can you be to make that argument ?

[squibbard]

It'd be a poor decision for sure.

[yourseatatthetable]

Ah, c'mon, man! What goods bein' President o' this 'ere country if'n you can't 'ave people who torque you off put in tha cold ground. Why, it just ain't 'Mereican! (Snort)

MAGA: our orange god is avove the law

Obviously

[paperboy...]

Your missing the point dude, they're implying a Dictator would be fine with them ..

[hansombrother]

The only business of the Supreme Court is to help Trump as much as possible.

[deemo]

Arrest trumps lawyer.
Crazy criminals

[mikemann]

It's just sick that the supreme court is actually debating this shit about trump killing people wtf is wrong with the legal system
