Absolutely not. You’re insane, you wouldn’t consider anything I’d say.

That’s because your fantastical scenario is exactly that, fantasy. You do not understand whatsoever the implications of the ruling because you cannot grasp the duty of the president, checks and balances, and the rule of law. Did they stop teaching civics in school?7

Because they are protecting our republic. A president shouldn’t fear being prosecuted by someone for their official acts when they are out of office, such as a political rival.

And no, something illegal cannot be official.

The president can’t kill anyone who opposes him. The president is subject to the laws just like anyone else. Breaking the law is not part of his official duty. Assassinating someone the president doesn’t like is against the law.

Assassinating an enemy of the United States is a different story. The president cannot claim a citizen of the United States with no criminal activity or record against the United States is an enemy. Furthermore, the military cannot use force on citizens of the United States. The FBI can, and the president doesn’t control the FBI the judicial branch does.

Aren’t checks and balances fun?!

The best example is first responders. They have immunity doing their duty. They cannot hesitate to perform their duty - such as giving life saving services - if they fear they are unsuccessful and are sued / thrown in prison. If they break the law though on duty it was never their duty to break the law and are therefore not immune. Take CPR. They might perform CPR and injure the person they are working over, or they might not save them. The family of that person cannot sue them, nor can a court convict them if they accidentally make things worse.

Same thing with the president. The president can’t break the law and say, “whoops, just doing my official duty”. It doesn’t work like that.

Is Saddam Hussein in the room with us now?

No, again, you’ve misunderstood. Breaking the law is not within the duties of the president.

That’s extremely doubtful, as Trump was never convicted for something that would label him as an enemy of the United States.

The president acts through people. Asking the military to murder Americans on American soil is the easy slam dunk straight to pound me in the ass federal prison for life idea you’ve ever come up with.

No, the president has immunity during official duties much like a first responder. If they break the law that isn’t an official duty.

Nope. That is not within the duties of the president. Declaring something official doesn’t make it official.

It is a fundamental misunderstanding and mistake to believe that people don’t vote the way you want them too is because they are less intelligent than you.

The understanding of what is and isn’t an official act is severely lacking. An official act is within the duties of the president. The president can’t break the law and claim it was an official duty, lol.

You assumed wrong, as the supreme court said the trails court will determine what is and isn’t an official act. What’s the problem?

First responders get immunity while they are doing their duty. Judges do too. What exactly is the problem? Breaking the law CANNOT be an official act.

First responders have (in some counties had) immunity while doing their job. If grandma needs CPR you don’t want a first responder to hesitate to provide that CPR because they might crack a rib and get sued, or worse, thrown in jail.

The president should not be afraid to make decisions in fear of political retaliation, which is exactly what this ruling clarifys.

If the first responder breaks the law they are held accountable. If the president breaks the law they will be held accountable.

This doesn’t mean the president can do whatever they want and they are immune from the law. That’s ridiculous. The ruling even states that.

Is that because I don’t vote the way you want me to?

Ah, I’m sure the party you like has the solution. How dare anyone vote in a way you don’t approve of.

I’ve always thought people of all races were people and share the rights as all other human beings. Weird, innit?

Hell yeah my candidate isn’t fascist, YOUR candidate is fascist!
