So Biden can officially assassinate the entire Republican side and the supreme Court and because he was president when he ordered it, it is legal?
That's the dissent's warning.
I guess the surviving members of the Court can reopen the question!
Yes, exactly. "They were insurrectionists bent on overthrowing our government, and it was a tough, but necessary, decision to protect the nation, which is my duty as President."
That claim isn't even entirely untrue.
But Biden himself came out and spoke about the ruling (paraphrasing) "we need presidents to use their power with caution and respect the (self imposed) limitations of it. I'll continue to do just that. The next guy might not do so and that's concerning."
Just a big ol' shrug from Biden... "I won't do it, but he sure as hell will."
Thanks Mr.Virtue... where is all that virtue when it comes to Palestinians?
