So, this means Biden could totally just order Trump killed right now and it'd be 100% legal.

Supreme court Justices also....just sayin.
Using "I was going to vote for Joe Biden after the immunity ruling, but he refuses to blow up the SC Justices before they overturn gay marriage so I won't" as a reason now lmao
They literally have no excuses anymore. Everything that democratic voters insist that their guy wanted to do but couldn't is 100% doable now. With the power of legal assasination given to the presidency, all that shit would now be possible. That dems won't do it is proof of their lack of interest or conviction in their stated goals
I encourage Joe Biden to gather all the right wing state governors and every single Republican he can for a grand July 4th celebration with an announcement. Tell them he wants to discuss something with immigration and funding from the federal government... that'll probably get them to show up. Just a big ol' freedom BBQ in and around the Capitol building.
And then he can do the funniest thing in history
fund yourself and fund everyone around you
The fact that SCOTUS did this knowing the democrats won't actually take advantage of this golden opportunuty to consolidate power really says it all
Oh no that would be bad and wrong, he'd have to put Trump on an international terrorism list first, THEN he could do what Obama did and murder Trump and his children with a drone strike
giving the biden regime the green light to merc trump legally, but they’d rather give him a second term
if he's as bad as they say he is, it's their moral imperative to k*ll him. It's like how you have to off hitler if you have a time machine.
a MORAL IMPERATIVE to KILL someone? Um sweaty killing is always IMMORAL.
Unless the target is brown
I wouldn't vote for Biden just because he droned Trump, but I would laugh very hard so I think he should do it
It’s very hard for me to square that idea that trump is an existential threat who must be stopped by any means necessary, and the notion that Biden is allowed to do anything legally.
Obama murdered a 16-year-old who wasn't even accused of a crime and got away with it, but I guess the rules are different when the victim is Muslim
once again,
Death to America
I tried to explain this to libs back in 2018ish. If Trump is a fascist, why would voting him out do anything? Ya'll are either being hyperbolic, or you're being cowards.
Trump is a fascist, but that is because everyone in the U.S. government follows the logic of fascism, because neoliberalism is just fascism without the campy outfits. He just not a systemic-ending fascist.
If Biden gets Trump assassinated by the CIA will it be considered official business?
This is why you all need to vote. If we had blue judges in the Supreme Court this would have never happened. As long as you vote we will have democracy back in about 300 years.
My liberal coworkers are coping by "well that's fine because unofficial acts can still be prosecuted"
I could love to live with this level of delusion
Yeah I've seen the same take.
Are they really stupid enough to think that Trump (and future Republicans) wouldn't just label everything an official act as a direct consequence?
Edit: I mean he could quite literally go on 5th Avenue now if reelected, declare "I, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AM OFFICIALLY BLOWING IT OUT YOUR ASS" and gun someone down.
I would like to remind everyone that per the scotus the extrajudicial murder of us citizens accused of terrorism is a "political question" not subject to review by the courts.
I know they won't do it, but if Dems had any guts they would just explicitly challenge Marbury v. Madison, and just start ignoring Supreme Court decisions. You know the right wingers would do exactly that if they were in a similar predicament with a 6-3 liberal majority court.
the SC completely invented their power from whole cloth and (almost) every subsequent administration has just gone with it
Democracy
People think that I'm crazy when I say the supreme Court is basically a toddler that adults are pretending has magical powers to not make them cry. It's maddening, ignore the toddler!
Joker pill is officially outdated, it's time for the Mad Max pill.
What are your wastelander nicknames gonna be?
Nobody saw this coming
Edit: sleepy Joe should use this precedent to Merc the court
I feel morally obligated to vote for whichever third party candidate says they'll take advantage of presidential immunity and drone strike wall street.
Remember when "if the president does it, it's not illegal" was shocking?
this is actually even more sweeping. the decision gives immunity to all exercises of constitutional authority, not just official acts.
"Do you want a revolution or do you want results?"
The results:
Literally why should the President pay attention to anything the Supreme Court says, then?
Like, why not just say that everything regulatory agencies do also constitutes an official act by the President, so WHOOPS! There goes your dismantling of Chevron, John Roberts. Regulations aren't reviewable by any court now. Fuck you.
Rip the mask off, we are in a fascist state; The elites want fascism. Let's go baby arm up, run guns, sabotage. Die for the revolution, or live in tyranny in a dying and warming world. THERE'S NOTHING TO LOSE.
So that gives Biden free range to do literally anything, which he won't
I can practically hear the panic of every AP US Government teacher dreading the "Separation of Powers" section and the inevitability of one kid asking a question about this court case.
Is this the only job where no matter what you do it can't be a crime?
Also what the actual fuck do they think "project 2025" is if not total control of the scotus by the gop?
American Democracy™ in action
the best money can buy
"I could shoot a child in Gaza and not lose any votes" - Biden, Trump, and most other people in the federal government
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Please just blow up the United States already. there’s no coming back from this one
Sorry guys we asked the Parliamentarian and they said "no" so we can't have democracy. Better luck next time.
