The judiciary acting political? NEVER!!!I love how they will rule directly in contention with accepted norms when it comes to things like international law, Geneva convention, etc; 'i was just following orders' (official duties) isn't a valid excuse for a war fighter to commit illegal acts, why is it for the executive?
And all the court needs to know is the letter after the name.'Protected conduct' is something the Courts will need to decide on an instance by instance basis.
Ordering the military to kill people is very obviously a core executive function and so the president would be absolutely immune from prosecution for any order he gave.And all the court needs to know is the letter after the name.

Ordering the military to assassinate your political rivals is now 100% legal.
Don't forget the USSC(6 of 9) could have just signed their own execution orders.Ordering the military to kill people is very obviously a core executive function and so the president would be absolutely immune from prosecution for any order he gave.

You know as well as I do this court would come up with some reason it was legal for a R and illegal for a D. That's why they must go first.Ordering the military to kill people is very obviously a core executive function and so the president would be absolutely immune from prosecution for any order he gave.

They know Biden won't do shit.Don't forget the USSC(6 of 9) could have just signed their own execution orders.
Well sure but really why even give them the chance? Just have them killed too.You know as well as I do this court would come up with some reason it was legal for a R and illegal for a D. That's why they must go first.

Sotomayor just confirmed Trump committing a criminal official act is immune.
Example: Flip the Jan 6 script. Trump had won the election and black people stormed the capital. Trump would have ordered the guard to shoot and kill everyone on the grounds. P2025 allows the AG to take orders directly from the President.
Official but criminal act.
Yeah and that is the problem. If Biden actually gave a shit about the future of this country he would act now. Maybe not kill them, but jail the 6 conservative justices now. Let's see how fast the challenges to this insane ruling work through the courts. Biden can delay the way Trump does until long after he is dead.They know Biden won't do shit.
It would be better for him to just say he views their decisions as advisory from here on out and will rely on his official capacity to interpret the constitution as controlling.Yeah and that is the problem.

Agreed. Expand the court to 100 sitting justices, and EO DC's statehood, both effective immediately.American Republic. The grand experiment. 1776-2024.
The only way this isn’t the end is if Biden wins and packs the court to reverse these insane rulings. Otherwise< this will be last election.
How about this? Expand the court to 50. For each case randomly choose 9 justices from the pool of 50. Also, justices do not get to select their cases. Done by a different arm of SCOTUS. Makes it harder to bribe justices.Agreed. Expand the court to 100 sitting justices, and EO DC's statehood, both effective immediately.
Let the 100 justice supreme court decide the legality of both in 6 months.

Pool of 50 are selected by Presidents made up of 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats.
Also placed SCOTUS under the same laws and rules of Federal judges.
If Trump wins, he can just throw Biden (and anyone who disagrees with Trump) down into Gitmo, no prosecution required, no recourse as its perfectly legal now. (Edit: there is one recourse, impeachment, but of course the President can just have any lawmakers who start talking about impeachment added to the rolls at Gitmo as national security threats).With this ruling, it very much rules out that if Trump wins trying to prosecute Biden because Biden would have broad immunity.
Get an election you oppose, and you people try to overthrow the federal government and attack police.Get a ruling you oppose and y'all just shit your panties.
Gotta love lefty tantrums.
I think the lesson from this ruling is the law no longer matters so Biden could still very well be prosecuted.With this ruling, it very much rules out that if Trump wins trying to prosecute Biden because Biden would have broad immunity.
