I wish someone would confront Trump about that during an interview. “So, do you have an armed guard, because you’re saying Biden can legally kill you?”
And then far right media would parrot for weeks that Biden actually wants to kill Trump. If they did what they did for a “stolen election” imagine what they would do if they had “reason” to suspect that Trump could be assassinated at Bidens wish
This is why they are delaying it until after the election. If Biden wins, they continue to stretch out the trial until Trump dies because of his old age and bad health, then go, “Well the defendant is dead so no reason to rule on this”, leaving it open until they get another chance
If Trump wins, then they rule in Trump’s favour with the trial suddenly going at breakneck speed
No, they’ll decide the bullshit immunity in June. But the delay is correct. By putting off deciding, they’ve delayed the actual trial until after the election. Fucking illegitimate Supreme Court. They didn’t waste time saying Colorado couldn’t leave him off the ballot, even going out of their way to not address the 14th Amendment disqualification.
If they decide that Presidents have total immunity, Biden better disappear a bunch of the SCOTUS, as well as a bunch of the insurrectionist Republicans. I don’t want to have an authoritarian in charge, but if I had to choose between Biden or trump, the choice is pretty easy.
Technically Biden would have to shoot the man himself, anyone he could order to do it either cannot legally and would basically just be eating the legal bullet for him even though he’s not in danger of it, or they have a legal duty to refuse the order.
So… SCOTUS decides in Trump’s favor, Biden has him assassinated, Biden wins election.
Trump is arguing that this will be OK, right? Right?

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
That’s their favorite stance. Because then they can claim moral righteousness. If you can’t get an upper hand logically, the next is emotionally.
They would recognize worthy opponents
Lol if this were legal, there isn’t an armed guard, or even military on the planet that could save you from a us president with a gbu_28 on deck

Well Trump will obviously wait until he’s installed himself as a dictator in perpetuity before making this ok
SCOTUS would just argue it isn’t an official act if Biden does it.

After delivering democracy to other countries over past few decades, USA has one last job. And this time, it’s personal.

It legitimately would not surprise me in 2024, if Biden just straight up shot trump during a debate.
We’d all be line “what!” Then go back to paying bills
“Man, I asked you to shut up!”
Approved.
So you’re saying we can have some kind of tournament for the presidency?
…maybe if we reduce it to a figurehead head of state role
