I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as "an official act." I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.

This should be the end of it, right? Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assassinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity? John Sauer: "That could well be an official act."

Love this from Kagan: She refers to the OLC opinion says the president can be tried and convicted of bribery. Why is that true? And do you think the premise of that OLC opinion is that the bribery isn't official, or is it more that the bribery WAS official but that the president…

The "independent counsel" law was rewritten into our current "special counsel" law BECAUSE of the shit Kavanaugh helped Starr do! Everybody was like "that crap can't happen again." Somebody get @neal_katyal and @MonicaLewinsky on the phone to blow up this asshole.

@neal_katyal @MonicaLewinsky Kavanaugh: "President Ford's pardon. Hugely unpopular when he did it... now probably looked on as one of his better decisions." What? WHAT? WHO THE FUCK THINKS FORD'S PARDON OF NIXON WAS A GOOD IDEA? WHEN DID I DIE AND GO TO HELL????

Kagan is like the first person to be asking about the actual criminal acts Trump is charged with. I assume Alito is not listening because Kagan is a woman while Gorsuch is probably sitting there emailing the New York Times because they got something wrong on the Spelling Bee.

Kavanaugh: "Like Justice Gorsuch, I'm not concerned with the here and now of this case, I'm concerned about the future." I don't know why this is acceptable. I do know that the justices are sure they are right about ignoring the facts of THIS ACTUAL CASE.

WOW: This banger by Sotomayor: "There is no failsafe system of government, meaning, we have a judicial system that has layers and layers of protection for the accused in the hopes that the innocent will go free. We fail. Routinely. But we succeed more often than not. In the vast…

Kavanaugh... who WORKED FOR KEN STARR... is basically saying that Jack Smith is politically motivated and his appoint in unconstitutional. It's... maddening. And most of the media reports will not even point out this hypocrisy.

Now onto self-pardons. Alito is just playing all the Fox News hits now. I'm going to smoke. Biden should send Seal Team 6 to Mar-a-Lago because according to Alito there's no downside.

This argument is risible on its own terms but it is gobsmacking in a case where a president illegally tried to stay in office.

As someone who writes about coups, that this has to be raised and debated vs how other countries have handled instigators of coup attempts is still incredible to me.

Cassidy Hutchinson on Trump: “It's important that the Supreme Court acknowledges that he does not get to evade consequence and accountability for this. But it's also really important that we hold him accountable in the court of public opinion as well.”

Dreeben stresses that what Trump was charged with, trying to subvert the election, is not part of any official acts. Alito wants to avoid the facts of this case (for good reason!).

The question I'd have for the SCOTUS now is: If you do this, why would a Republican president every peacefully transfer power again? Democratic presidents will because Democrats follow rules that don't apply to the other side. But why would Republicans just leave *ever again*?
