2024 US Presidential Election

Does this mean Biden can “officially” kill Marjorie Taylor Green?

Dissenting justice: 'President is now a king above the law'

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented the opinion.

Justice Sotomayor called the consequences of the court's decision "stark" and said the court's decision allows a president to use official powers to be insulated from criminal prosecution.

"Today's decision to grant former Presidents criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the presidency," she wrote.

Justice Sotomayor said a president would now be protected if they order the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival, organise a military dissenting coup to hold onto power, or take bribes in exchange for a pardon.

"Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done," she wrote.
 



Won't actually go anywhere of course but at least a few Democrats with a pulse will try to make political hay out of this while the Bidens are doing magazine photoshoots and getting ice cream to reward Joe because he remained awake for an entire hour.
