Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?
“That could well be an official act,” Trump lawyer John Sauer says

The very next question should have been “And if he has 1/2 of the House of Representatives killed at the same time?”
why only half? isn’t it more efficient to kill all members of all other branches along with all identified successors?
Because the other half would be his supporters.
well maybe now but if you want to be sure then double down and clean slate that shit.
While you’re at it, write an executive order dissolving Congress and establishing the President as a dictator. It’s an “official act” so it should be fine, right?
exactly. and no worries. we can still have elections. just like russia or north korea or china.
Now consider that Trump is already speaking in interviews as if he has the guaranteed immunity in his pocket…
He already promised he’ll take nasty revenge on his rivals, have people removed who are thwarting him now. Promises drilling drilling drilling (I assume for oil) from day one, regardless if there’s a law or rules against that which would normally need to be overturned first…
Somehow he is riding on the done deal he can do whatever he wants the moment he is “elected” and there will be no one to stop him.
I think that was covered under the coup question.
