It’s ok, the the president can now just have them assassinated as a defence of the constitution.

Blatant misinformation and a fundamental lack of understanding of the ruling. Nothing changed. President cannot commit a crime and say it was in official capacity. Obviously.

Just like “nothing changed” when Roe was overturned? Got it.

“Official capacity” has not been defined yet so we don’t know what the limits are. We will have to wait and see.

If the President can communicate with the DoJ or VP, even about doing something illegal or as part of some illegal scheme and be immune to prosecution because being in contact with the VP and DoJ are part of his duties, why would talking to the CIA to ask them to “retire” SCOTUS justices not be an official act that’s immune to prosecution?
