1. The solicitor general needs to point out....

that a president who could legally kill his opponent could kill the supreme court justices too.

I think they really need to be slapped, as we used to say, with the salmon of correction.

3. And if SCOTUS rules in favor of TFG's ridiculous "immunity" contention

They had better listen more carefully to his authoritarian threats since if he ever gains power again, he'd have no need for the courts.

2. Actually no. They are saying Trump can .

4. Perhaps for a hypothetical.....

"Could President Biden order Seal Team 6 to assassinate Candidate trump and have immunity?"

5. The prosecution should have asked just that, but I fear that the answer would have been different

For President Biden than for TFG. It would have been helpful to have their opinions right out in the open.
