Sotomayor says the president can now 'assassinate a political rival' without facing prosecution

[Uncensored2008]

Dumbest justice ever would be Thomas. Also the crookedest.

You truly hate uppity blacks who don't know their place.

By orders of magnitude.

The irony is that Sotomayor was already proven to have taken more gifts than any other justice - but you Commies just keep on with your racist lying.

It's your way.

That sounds a bit racist, Miss Marple.

Originalist sounds racist? I disagree. This wasn't a theory that started with the founders, Mr. Earl.

Perhaps the most insidious part of the disastrous SCOTUS ruling is that they have ruled that motive cannot be used as evidence of a crime. So of course a President could order the military to assassinate a political rival. Biden could have Trump assassinated and claim it was an act within his constitutional official duties as commander and chief, and that the action was taken to eliminate an existential threat to democracy. If you can show me in the ruling where that scenario is subject to prosecution, please feel free to do so.

I agree. That motive cannot be an element is absurd. In criminal matters, motive is ALWAYS an element.

The other disaster in the ruling is that communication within the Executive Branch, no matter how conspiratorial, is immune.

How can a conspiracy to prevent the peaceful transfer of power within a corrupt DOJ be immune?
