Main thread: I DISSENT

can someone explain in simple terms how the president can now "legally" assassinate rivals? I keep reading it online and in the news but I am wondering how could it happen really?

The SCOTUS decision by Roberts is widely grieved because it sets into sharp relief that there is no legal precedent to distinguish between what is an Impeachable High Crime and Misdemeanour (which the Constitution provides impeachment of the President over) versus Official Acts For Which The President Cannot Be Prosecuted (as composed as a class of acts under this new opinion), and so there is nothing in precedential case law that says that a given assassination order / action or class of assassination actions as ordered by a sitting POTUS is an Impeachable High Crime and Misdemeanour or is an Official Act.

The opinion also appears to make it impossible to take actions to determine which the given act is, as per Justice Roberts, anything touching the scope of official duties can't be introduced as prosecutorial evidence.

So people are saying this ruling gives carte blanche to sitting presidents to assassinate political rivals and dare anyone to jump through the hoops to hold him/her accountable for it.

Whether or not such an assassination would be legal is also an unsettled question.
